I think too many people short-change Payton in the Payton-Brees combination. Brees was a very good, but not elite QB before he teamed up with Payton.

Actually Romo was SP's first choice but Parcells wouldn't let him go. In hindsight though, that worked to our favor as we got Brees.

Nah, the Saints came marching in to New Orleans, not the City of Angels and LA would just take that song and 'crunk' it up or something ...

Lord please let the deal for Brees happen quickly. I think Payton gets way to much credit here. Bress doesn,t come here we dont have a superbowl win period.
