Re: Payton and Brady Teaming Up in NOLA?
I am, of course, based upon decision making authorities of head coaches across the entire league and the relative longevity of the position in those cases. I'd wager a good bit that my educated assumption is far closer to fact than the assumption that Dennis Allen is unilaterally making personnel decisions for the Saints. Do you disagree?

Re: Payton and Brady Teaming Up in NOLA?
I asked Nick Underhill about Allen's personnel authority.
Dec 14, 2022 @AsylumGuido · Follow Replying to @nick_underhill @HardhideWhiskey and @BadeauxLaw @nick_underhill I have a question. Does Dennis Allen have the same level of decision making when it comes to personnel as did Payton? Did he have the say on Marcus Williams? Mathieu? Marcus Maye? Nick Underhill @nick_underhill · Follow He has say. He doesn’t have as much say 11:35 AM · Dec 14, 2022 |

Re: Payton and Brady Teaming Up in NOLA?
I can easily see Allen being asked about Williams and saying he would really like to bring him back, but then being told later they couldn't come to acceptable terms with the player. Payton may have been able to say, "I don't care. Do whatever it takes," while Allen just has to live with that decision.

THAT can pretty much sum up our entire season, and possibly a few more seasons. |

Re: Payton and Brady Teaming Up in NOLA?
I agree that Payton will not be easy to replace ... if ever. Same can be said for Drew Brees.
