SP on Broncos vs. Saints Analytics

Who knows? Payton may have had the Saints staff using excel spreadsheets or some sort to store player info while some other teams are using SQL databases with more easily defined query capabilities. It sounded like something along those lines when he was quoted as saying "we weren't as far ahead" when it came to "being able to pick up and access the information as quickly."

Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks?

It was probably the way he had run things for years and never saw the need to upgrade the process.

The Broncos may have a more up to date information processing system than the Saints but history shows that we draft better than they do. I like Sean Payton but he's their head coach now. Not ours. He may not have the eye for talent that we think he does. Maybe the Saints analytics department kicks ass and we draft better without Payton's mad scientist approach.

Yup. The Broncos previous coach, Nathaniel Hackett, is basically a generation younger than Payton. It's not surprising he would be using more up-to-date information retrieval methods.
