Definitely not the same thing - but I think Payton is wanting to see what the competition brings out of each player. I also gotta think that Payton's had to have thought more about the type of offense or packages/things he can do with Taysom at QB. That's gotta fascinate him a little.

I really think he's looking at Taysom as a QB & Taysom trained to be a QB vs training to be the gadget player.

I know everyone (media/analysts) thinks Winston will get the nod and can't fathom that Payton would choose Taysom over Winston. That may be true...but I wouldn't count out Taysom...just would love to see him get his chance - that being getting the pre-season reps and start to really see what he can do.
