I don’t even know why there’s discussion of a decision with the saints apart from hill being Payton’s favourite. Winston is a better qb, and if he can cut down on the interceptions (every buccaneers coach he played for before they let him go was asking him to do this, so it’s not a certainty he ever will be able to) he’ll be a good one for them..

See. I think this interception problem is over blown. His 2019 season was awful but the years before were not that bad

His 2.5-3.5 interception percentage is close to Roethlisburger's for comparable yardage and team record.

Winston has only played on one team that was over .500 and most of the time Tampa's defense when he started was in the bottom 1/3 of all NFL teams. (~20th in points allowed or worse)

Give him a decent team with an offensive guru like Peyton and he could really shine.
The Saints Hill v Winston conundrum will be interesting, I really hope Joe Burrow comes back strong and gets the protection he deserves.
