re: If/When We Have a Successful Season Next Year

In no way was I saying that PCJr was better than Payton the point I was trying to make if you were fiven the option would you take a chance with Payton leaving in three years or go with somebody like PCJr who would be here awhile.

3 years is a long time in the NFL. Who says Carmichael is the guy to run the team when the Drew Brees Era ends? In 3 years time the always moving NFL pendulum may swing away from the current accurate QB friendly system. We may want a coach that focuses on the run or defense or something completely different from what PCJr does best, which as of now is work with Drew Brees and the pass happy offense. Dumping Payton for stability of more than 3 years would be a stupid decision unless you actually thought he was better than Payton.

I would take Payton for ONE more year over Pete for ten years in a heart beat. Nothing against Pete because I like him and believe he would do great but Payton has proven he can win a superbowl and the great talent that is on this team is getting older quickly. So I want everything we can get out of this team NOW.

What if Payton's sucess lies within Drew Brees?

Then surely Carmichael's success would have come from Brees too and the team will be ready for a coaching change when he retires, so like I said and it won't matter, and if it doesn't matter you should stick with Payton.

I get what you're saying and it would set us up nicely if in fact Payton is leaving the team in 3 years (which I don't think he is leaving until Drew retires at the earliest) and Pete could take us into another great era. But all we know is what's in front of us and as of today; Payton is the man that did what no one else thought was possible. And why change coaches in Drew prime? He is the best QB we've ever had and judging by our past maybe the best we will have for a long time. I hate echoing myself but let's run this bad boy into the ground!

On a side note, which probably should be a topic of it's own, I am tired of ESPN saying how arrogant coach Payton is. No more than any other coach that's in the league. You got to have a little ego to be a head coach in the NFL where every player on your team has an ego and every Joe Blow reporter is going to ask you questions like you're an idiot after a game. I think they are painting a picture of someone that just isn't Sean.

Payton is an arrogant man, hence why most of local reporters don't like him.

What IF Brees don't sign though?

All good.

Its time to enter the 'slows' now I think.
Don't see the Saints having much else to do with FA.
What a f'ing off season.
Blu will have to see us through till draft.

Well...who ever posted on here that he would spend this year in dallas was right
