Sean Payton won’t name Saints starting QB for this week

ron mexico : 9/18/2019 3:20 pm
Hill played his usual jack of all trades role and caught two passes in that game, but the change in circumstances with Brees led to Payton being asked if Hill’s status will change now that he’s the No. 2 quarterback.

“You’re assuming he’s the No. 2 . . . We’ll approach this game with two quarterbacks. We’ll have the right plan relative to what those guys are going to be doing.” Payton said, via Rod Walker of NOLA.com.

Why isn't he starting

bbi's favorite QB Bridgewater?
Nothing to see here

He wants the other team to prepare for two QB's. Splitting the prep will have them less prepared, as oppose to scheming all week on one QB.

What...

Because Teddy sucks. Did you watch the game?
I mentioned on the Ramsey trade thread

if you listened to the Dave TE podcast, the rumbling he heard was that the Saints didn't like what they saw from Bridgewater and might go with Hill as their starter, or at least see significant snaps at QB.
Doubt this changes anything

Hill might see a slight uptick in his QB snaps, but he's not getting the majority of the reps. He's a marginally better passer than Tebow.
Of course,

he knows Eli will be starting for them after the last-minute trade happens but he's not allowed to talk about it yet.

I'm sure you heard the Payton quote where he compares Hill to Steve Young...??

I'd say that's high praise.
