Tom. Maybe she wouldnt make certain investments outside the roster. Maybe she was too loyal to certain players and staff in a way that reduced the coaches authority. Maybe other execs were more her favorites than Payton. We don’t know. She is clearly not a loud egomaniac who wants to run the draft but she may or may not be the ideal owner.

Aaron Rodgers made a living trash talking the Bears and Lions. The Bears lost a lot and he talked about it. Well last year his OC lost a lot, so Payton talked about it. Rodgers should stick to throwing the football because he ain’t in a position to be without sin casting any stones.

How do we know if Gayle Benson is a good owner? That's a fair question and a good point. Here's my counter point. When Tom Benson bought the Saints he ran them like a used car salesman. If a player had value he would trade them to make a fast profit. He changed his way of thinking after he hired Loomis. He began investing his money back into the team. Then he spent money upgrading the training facilities, as well as getting funding for the Super dome renovations that have kept the old girl viable among the "Jerry worlds".

When Tom Benson met Gayle the system was already in place for an owner to let his people do their job without getting too involved. I'm pretty sure that she never played football and I don't believe her dad was a coach so she is hands off. The system has been set in place with a strong front office and consistently good coaching that keeps her involved as the face of what an NFL owner should look like.

But, the key point is that she will spend the money to make her players happy and successful. Unlike the Raiders organization or some of those other tight wads. When disaster strikes Gayle Benson opens up her check book and takes the team out of town bringing their families and even their pets with them.

She doesn't get in trouble with the league or embarrass the fans like some owners do and she presents herself like a southern lady should. Last year she called out Godhell for baselessly fining Cam, Loomis and DA for a fake injury and has always had the teams back.

Did I mention our winning record with her as an owner? I don't know what you expect from an owner but those are good enough for me to believe that Gayle is a good owner.
