He's the biggest reason the Saints went 13-3 again. He's arguably the most valuable player in the league today. He really can't be worth much more than he is right now.

He risks having a sub par season and having his value drop somewhat. If he were to throw for less than, say 4500 yards, or his completion percentage drop to 66% (just making up numbers here) or if the Saints don't win more than 10 games, there will be plenty of writers doing stories about how it's really Payton that makes this offense run or how he's not so special when he doesn't have the best guard in football protecting him...etc, etc and he'll be another year older which might further decrease his value.

I don't mean to imply that he'll be worthless but he runs a very significant risk of being worth less.
Correct... The Risk/reward isn't in favor of him if he plays under the FT this year.

Winning a second SB is a long shot and takes into account a lot more than just QB and QB health... Two years ago our running back core was crippled. This is a year with out Payton... He could get hurt.... He could throw for one yard less than last year and the critics would say he didn't preform as well....

His time to strike is now...
