John DeShazier is a legit beat writer and not just some hobby journalist or blogger boy. Here's his take:

"There's every reason to believe Taysom Hill is the Saints' backup quarterback, even though the team signed Jameis Winston – a five-year starter for Tampa Bay and the former No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft – as a free agent. Hill has had three years in the Saints' system, which means the Saints have had three years to study his skills and to cater plays to what Hill's strengths are. And the Saints have a lot of faith in him; his two-year contract this offseason, accompanied by a significant pay raise, speaks to New Orleans' belief in him."

The first two points of his "Five Storylines To Watch" article are about Hill.
