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.

I think he has it figured out. He just needs his starters to be healthy and get some depth behind them. This offseason there were some big changes made and we need to give this plan time to mature.

The problem with Payton is he likes to gamble. Unfortunately, overall the players he's gambled on have been ineffective. Goodwin. Lelito, Coleman and Browner have failed to live up to expectations. I believe Ireland did a good job reining in Payton during the draft this year.
