Sean Payton adjusts our game plan according to rising and falling players and there is no doomsday clock on his success. We won a SN without Graham and Drew retiring isn't going to make us an 8-8 team.

I don't believe that Brees' retirement makes us an 8-8 team either. Stop putting words in my mouth. I do believe that he is an important piece to our chances right now. Yes, Coach Payton has some to do with Brees becoming a FHOF QB, as well as the success of Jimmy Graham, but by no means is Coach Payton solely responsible for that. It's purely a case of a "special player" (or two) joining up with a "special coach", and, yes, some of that is luck. I think that even Coach Payton, being the apparent football god that he is, would consider himself "lucky" to have those guys.
