If not for Ireland's scouting efforts and the fortunate luck of UDFAs falling and bailing out Payton's poor draft decisions, we'd still be 8-8 land; the record is there for itself...

And it's not just my assessment, it's the assessment of many respected draft folks who've worked in NFL offices; if you'd get your information from more than Saints and NFL press releases, you know this...

One advantage I've got as an admitted armchair GM is the 100% clarity of hindsight and assessing his moves that've failed to miss the mark...

And unlike some here, I do admit when I'm wrong, as the record shows...

I'm curious as to what sources you have that I don't. I get very little from Saints and NFL press releases. I try to follow every source you share. I search for any and every article, tweet or facebook post daily for information. I have seen isolated criticism of draft moves and such, but on the whole virtually every source seems overall positive about Payton's contributions.

I would seriously like to see those experts that align totally with your degree of displeasure of Payton across the board. I will gladly defer to you with that documented support.
