If he had just retired and we got Brady, Payton would still be with us.

Brees Waffling doomed the franchise. If he would have retired 3 years ago, we would be in better financial position.

If my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle...

I think the no-call and all the BS from the league had a lot more to do with Payton leaving than the current QB situation.

If we're playing hypotheticals, Brees and Payton should both have a 2nd title to ride off into the sunset with...

He would've retired had we won in 2018, and we would've won in 2018 if not for the No-Call. The No-Call cost us Payton.

So Brees saved this franchise then doomed it again, full circle

You mean before 2 13-3 seasons one where they were the 2 seed? Do you get a dividend or something depending on the financial status? If not who gives a frick about the “financial status”?

Yup. They've been out to get Payton since 2010-2011 when he told the NFL inquisition to pound sand. Instead they used the mountain of bountygate evidence (numbers on a bar napkin) to suspend him for a year. The frickery that's gone on ever since is the NFL trying to push Payton out. Problem for them is he's a damn good coach and kept us in it no matter the shite hand of cards dealt to him by providence or the NFL.

frick this League and frick the organization at this point, welcome back to the state of irrelevance Saints fans. They'll just expect us to lap up shite slury if they call it soup. I'm done, let LA carry the NFL's future.

The Saints can relocate to St. Louis or San Antonio for 20 years for all I care.

Not sure if trolling or what, but the amount of shite talk about our first ballot HOF record breaking QB who completely turned around our franchise is insane.

He came in after a hurricane and he left after a hurricane
That month away due to Ida really took a toll
They just missed a playoff berth despite all the things they endured

No. But the BS Miami game might have been the final straw.

Payton and Brees are both pussy arse cowards. Payton had a hall of famer QB and did the minimum. Even that 09 Super Bowl was shady as frick. frick them both.

I'd love to see the list of people who you do like. And who you would rather have as QB and HC and actually win with.

Drew Brees helped save this franchise and is our best player in franchise history. This franchise may have moved if not for his greatness. He won us a Super Bowl. Some of you saints fans are too spoiled bc you’ve never endured bad years pre Drew or have political beef.

Kind of trashy of some of you...
