Yours is apples to oranges mine was apples to apples since there has only been a Payton & Brees era for head coach Payton. As for "Bust" replace it with any word you like, failure, flop, not listening to your meat guy! ect. ect.

You've been on the board to know there are some who claim to be better coaches than Payton (The Whole Foods Meat Guy!!!!) and now Brees is a noodle arm. Go back and read all about Our Early Playoff Exits ect. ect. then compare them to the Shula & Marino era One lost Super Bowl and only 5 playoff games vs the Payton & Brees era

Brees has gotten old. And his arm is very much weaker than it was when he was in his prime. He can’t physically run the entire playbook anymore.

As far as Payton, he is a 9-9 playoff record (but conjoined with Brees the entire time) HC with one SB win. Better than 0-18 with zero SB wins, but not as good as 18-0 with three, four or more.

Edit: You have my aplogies if I misunderstood the context of your post.

All I was doing was providing a little context to the "Payton costs Brees at least .......... and Brees was washed up............... Thus the comparison of the greatest NFL coach Don Shula and how he did teamed with Dan Marino. You hear the term "Turnover Machine" well Marino was a "Stat Machine" lots of "Gee Whiz" passing stats but not much else. Lots of Sizzle but no Steak. With Payton and Brees you have to admit there was some Steak to go along with the Sizzle!! and No, I'm not the whole foods meat guy!
