If you had to pick one or the other
 

If you had to pick between Brees and Payton to NOT be here next year who would it be? I really don't think they will both be here next year. Even Deuce said that he believes they may part ways in the offseason depending on how they finish. I would pick Brees for a couple reasons. First off there really isn't or won't be anyone better at the QB position that could take over and give us as much of a chance to compete. Brees has been at it long enough to call the shots offensively if he could anyway. I think it's easier for a team to be a contender when they have an elitish QB and a new coach than Payton with a new QB.
The new Coach could come in and put a scheme together and draft around the QB position for a year or two before putting a new one in.
Bottom line I think we have a better shot at a SB with Brees than we do with Payton and no Brees.

I really think Brees is not going anywhere.

Agree, QB's on the level of Brees, Manning, Rodgers, Brady are gonna' perform regardless. A good H/C certainly helps, but in those cases is mostly for the rest of the team, IMO, and an elite QB is harder to find.

IDT Brees or SP are going anywhere, and do not be surprised if we have a really good team next season.

Re: If you had to pick one or the other
 

If made to choose, Brees hands down.

Re: If you had to pick one or the other
 

Keep Brees and SP.
Loomis needs to go.

Let me add (because it is always about me)... Damn good question and thread.

Re: If you had to pick one or the other
 

Keep Brees. HoFer QB comes along rarely.

When Payton goes, so does Vitt, D-Lineman coach Johnson, and Spec Teams "Coordinator" McMahon.

If I had to pick, that is...

Ever since Payton came back from the bounty-gate suspension he's been very bland and predictable. I just don't see much fire in him anymore. I'll always be a fan of Sean Payton, I respect him, and I appreciate him for bringing a SB championship to my long beloved Saints team... but it might be time for him to go.
