Gotta take your hat off to Hill. The Drew Brees led Saints got their asses kicked at home last year vs the Falcons. Worst live game I've ever seen.

That would be a huge downgrade from what Winston is going to give them next season.


You do realize Taysom Hill makes 16 million a year right ?
And Winston makes close to the NFL minimum .

I'll bet that so long as we can also bet who has more wins as the starting QB for the Saints in 2021. JW or Hill. So the bet would be in 2 parts. $100 each.

Sure I’ll take that bet.
but odds are not 0 that both will have 0 wins for the saints next season.

Nah, the team is designed to cater to Brees strengths, short passing game and they got the best personnel in the league for that

Hill had a good half against 1 of the worst defenses in the league

First 5 seasons in the NFL


Jameis Winston 88 interceptions

Peyton Manning 100 interceptions

Slightly different eras there, just slightly.

There is a reason any other team in the league could’ve had Jameis on a bargain deal as their starter and didn’t pull the trigger.

That's true. We'll add the stipulation that both players have to make the 53 man roster week 1 of next season or both bets are cancelled. So the 2 bets would be.

1) JW is the week 1 starter for the Saints next season. $100

2) JW has more wins as the starting QB than Taysom Hill for the Saints next season. $100

Let me know if you're good with these terms. Or if you want to add any terms to the bet.

The question becomes if Brees is out for a few more games and Hill keeps winning, then what?
They got 3 roadies up next

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...
