Everyone in here is arguing with the benefit of hindsight. People would have gone (were going?) nuts at the thought of drafting Mahomes at the time. You’re acting like they passed on him today.


1. There were several posters including myself included, who were behind drafting Mahomes. We were a small minority but we recognized the potential of Mahomes back then.

2. It's hilarious that these same posters commenting today, saying we should have drafted Mahomes or even traded up to secure him are the same posters who said Mahomes would be a bust because he came from Texas Tech or they said the team would be fine with Brees until he was 45.

3. And yes, people were losing their minds at every article posted that came out back then that even mentioned Payton pre draft workouts or his infatuation with Mahomes.

Hope you’re not referring to me.

I was always in full support of finding our next franchise QB as every team should.


Green Bay knows what they are doing.


Bill Bilichik wanted to trade Tom Brady but the owner wouldn’t let him.


The 49ers traded Joe Montana.


The Packers traded Brett Favre.


I could go on and on.



Sean Payton was comfortable with Taysom Hill


And then he was comfortable with Jamie’s Winston.

People actually took seriously something that Brees seemed to be joking about at the time?
