Jameis Winston got his first start as a member of the New Orleans Saints on Monday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Winston made his case to be the Week 1 starter with a dynamite performance, completing 9-of-10 passes for 123 yards and a pair of scores in the first quarter of a 23-21 victory.

Meanwhile, Taysom Hill got off to a sluggish start before rebounding to finish with 138 yards on 11-of-20 passing. He threw for one touchdown and didn't turn the ball over, though he didn't have any rushing attempts.

After the game, Saints head coach Sean Payton wouldn't offer up much of anything in terms of picking a starter. Instead, he stayed cryptic with his answer.

Via PFT's Mike Florio:

“I don’t have a timeframe,” Payton told reporters. “When we know what direction we are going, we will let you guys know. We’re not going to try to anticipate saying, ‘Hey, it’s going to be midweek or next week.’ That’s, I think, the best way for us to handle it. It’s kind of how we’ve always handled something like this.”

Payton had previously suggested he wants to have his starter picked before the final preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals this upcoming weekend. While Hill got the call in relief of Drew Brees last season, Winston seems like a logical choice for 2021, as this would then allow Hill to go back to the do-it-all role he thrives in. Hill could certainly still see some snaps under center when the Saints want to throw different looks out there, but Winston is the more talented passer overall.

Winston only saw action in four games for the Saints last season, completing 7-of-11 passes for 75 yards. He seems determined to make his mark in 2021.

Stay tuned for Sean Payton's big decision.
