If Coach Payton Pulls This Off

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; What I will say is, the lack of deep passing ability held this Offense back. I love what Brees did for this team over the years, but the past 3 years he held us back late in the season. Not ...

Not saying any QB on this team is better, because they aren't. However, the threat of the deep pass returning just made Kamara's job slightly easier. They won't be able to stack the box or sit close on swing passes anymore.

That 2002 team was so frustrating. They sweep the eventual SB champs, including a classic on MNF and sitting at 9-4...then drop 3 straight down the stretch - including to a 1-13 Bengals team - to finish 9-7 and barely miss the playoffs. The Aaron Brooks era was wild.

Re: If Coach Payton Pulls This Off

Honestly, I don’t think Coach Peyton winning with Winston is a difficult thing to pull off. We’re talking about the Heisman Trophy earning, National Championship winning, 1st overall pick in the NFL Draft. He’s one of a short list of people to throw for over 5,000 yards in a season.

19,812 yards passing
121 TD’s
88 INT’s
86.9 QBR

When did all of this become something to dismiss? This guy is RIDICULOUSLY talented and we got a steal in free agency because of character concerns more than anything else if you ask me. Winston was replaced by arguably the GOAT. The question you have to ask yourself is this, when is the last time the New Orleans Saints had a #1 overall pick standing behind the center?

I said somewhere else Winston's issues are in (or were in) his head. He's as talented as any and more than most. Decision making in real time on the field. For me, is Sean as good as I think he is? We're about to find out. Winston has the tools. A golden opportunity for him and for the team.

Payton just might get the coach of the year if we have a strong season.
