No question they go back to Brees. Hill is going to fall on his face. Payton's no dummy, he knows this Mickey Mouse stuff isn't going to win in the playoffs. They're only playing Hill so Payton doesn't have to look his team in the eye and lie to them and say Brees gives them a better chance at winning than Winston.
This is a pretty dramatic take on how NFL coaching decisions function.
Hill knows the offense and they've liked him for years, they paid him good $ in the offseason and Payton's opinion on him is higher than consensus. I know that is a boring answer but to think an NFL coach would really sit who he thought was a drastically better player for 3-4 games just to avoid some type of made up team mutiny is pretty far fetched.
Saints need to keep winning to get a 1st rd bye and you think they're intentionally playing who they think is the worse QB option?
That sounds like a theory a former player on ESPN/FS1 that has too much CTE would say...
