The fact of the matter is, Taysom was likely promised that he would get an opportunity to be the guy in the offseason, and he was paid like it. And he was named the #2 QB before the season began.
Winston went in when Brees went down vs. the 49ers. That was also probably understood within the team, as you have to gameplan quite differently when going into a game with Taysom as the guy.
When it comes to coaching, there are a lot of times where there isn't a 'right' or 'wrong' decision. There is a decision to be made, and the HC has to make it. It's up to his players and staff to make him right. That's where being a leader comes in, and Payton is that. As for Taysom, this is his opportunity. He's gotta go make the most of it.
