re: Sources: Sean Payton approaches Bill Parcells

You continue to argue about something (Bill Parcells past coaching/GM tenures) that'S irrelevant to what he would be doing for us. If you can't see that, you are an idiot.

So even though LE is arguing the same irrelevant stuff, he doesn't get called an idiot just because you agree with him?

That's the exact logic I'd expect from someone who can't hold rational discussions without resorting to namecalling. Par for the course.

I know it's laughable, but i would Rather him than Romo..At least he can make it to the playoffs

Didn't Brees miss 2 straight playoffs a couple of years ago?

Good thing the Saints don't follow that logic where we rate all QBs based on playoff appearances.

And they got better? WOW, improvement!!!

Are you mocking someone turning a 1-15 team into a very competitive team over the 3 years he was there?


Look, Im not even a Parcells lover boy. But it's obvious that you have something against him if you can't even acknowledge the job he has done.

No because they hired the guy who goes for the Olinemen, while the guy they passed on went elsewhere and got his franchise QB. They never found one because he was busy drafting Pat White in the 2nd round, and no QBs in the 1st.

Winning 11 games after a 1-15 win season was the worst thing to happen to them. But you're going to knock one of the best LT's in the league? Lol. Yea, franchise LT's just grow on trees.

quote:

---

The team was mocked, laughed at basically as he was leaving. That's good? That's impressive after a 3 or 4 year stint?

---

He only made decisions for 2 years. Again, at least get your facts straight.

Was Romo ever a superbowl MVP?

If you want to argue the Production with Brees Vs Romo...i mean, I'd love to hear your opening argument.

That logic comes into play just from a fan's perspective. Believe me, I'm glad we are sitting high on the mountain with Brees. If we didn't have him though..and the only two QBs available were Romo and Tebow..I'd trust Tebow over Romo not just based on "playoff appearance wins", but he just seems like he wants to win more..and I dont even really like him.

They started 0-7 last year. How competitive is that?

The job is to build a franchise in a league wher parity exists and teams turn around and get much better much faster all the time. And after 3 years, the team was left pretty shitty. They're not good.

2007-2010, that's closer to 3 years. All of 2008, all of 2009 and most of 2010, officially.

Not to mention, when he gave up day to day control, obviously I don't know for a fact, but LeBatard mentioned on his radio show multiple times that he was still making all big decisions for some time after.

So yea, 3-4 seasons sounds about right, since it was over 3 years. So, it's probably not a good idea to tell me to get my facts striaght when they're more accurate than yours,e ven if the part about controlling after he stepped away isn't true.

Are we just arguing Parcells now, or his impact on the Saints? I'm sure it's been stated that he wouldn't be asked to rebuild anything. Just hold down the fort.

You should just let this go.

Don't think it's fair to hold last years 0-7 start against parcells, and in same post acknowledge how parity rules in the NFL, and how quickly team can go from bad to good and good to bad.

I know lebatard still takes shots at parcells all the time but in today's NFL, blaming last season on him seems a reach IMO


/that said I don't want parcells in NO, but I wouldnt be aghast if he did come here.

I still don't get how it's "turned around" when you leave 3 years later and the team is shitty. I don't know anyone who thinks this team is good or in a good position. Not one person.

if that's good and a successful job, then so be it

---

simple question; was the team better when he left than it was when he got there?

If you address anything in this post, please answer the question above


The 09 dolphins went 7-9, but they were extremely competitive. They were in position to beat both teams that played in the SB that year.


You keep mentioning 2011 but he had been long gone since taking a step back in 2010.


So yes, he had success there. To go from the worst team in the league to an average team that competes most weeks without great QB play is not a knock on him.
