After the injury to Drew Brees, it was not yet decided who Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill would be the starting quarterback. According to journalist Adam Schefter, it was ultimately the second who won.
Hill is not the most experienced, however. Never holder, he launched in his career 18 assists in his career, including 10 completed for 205 yards and an interception. Traditionally Swiss Army knife of this team, this time he will be the sole master on board this attack.
Jameis Winston may be disappointed, with 70 starts and 121 career passing touchdowns, who replaced Brees in the last game. But Sean Payton decided otherwise.
Saints’ QB Taysom Hill will start Sunday vs. the Falcons, per source. Hill took all the starter reps at practice this week. Jameis Winston will be the backup.
