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.
