Fellas, no matter if you want to keep Payton or move in a different direction, there's no reason to be afraid of changes, if that does happen. This is not the pre-free agency NFL. With the salary cap you can't just sit around and wait for everyone to grow up, because by the time they do, half of them will probably be gone.

At the same time, it doesn't have to take years to rebuild. That's the way the league is structured. It's why the league is so incredibly mediocre... So few teams are ever built to last. If you find the right coaches and management, you might have a chance. Maybe we won't be good for another 15 years, but I'd be willing to bet it won't take very long at all, if the Saints do things right.

Whether that means Payton getting a grip, and figuring out how to right the ship, or bringing someone else in, we'll just have to see. But I'm not afraid to see a change, if it comes to that.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
