Absolutely nothing.

DB#9 has led this team to multiple losing record seasons, 5 to be exact, along with one .500 season, since 2006. His conference championship record is a paltry 1-2, and a very good argument can be made that the 2009 NFC championship game should have been a loss. iirc (I was at that game, first year of season tickets), Minn fumbled the ball 6 times, losing three of those fumbles, along with throwing two interceptions. The fact that we, the home team, needed overtime to win that game isn’t exactly a positive in my book.

The idea that the Saints are a 6 win team, at best, without DB#9 makes little sense. And it devalues every other player who is busting their chops week in/week out. This is a very good team, when healthy, even with DB#9 on the sidelines.

Everyone has there opinion it’s a good one, but I’ll take Brees one more. And yes 6-10 is a bad assessment Payton would have the next one ready for better than that.

Are you talking about those loosing season where Peyton was suspended and we were coached by amateurs or the ones where we set records in defensive futility?

What y'all are looking past is that Payton and Brees have been attached at the hip through the entire Saints run of success. When Brees calls it quits I can easily see Payton doing the same soon thereafter, albeit moving to another franchise. Payton to Dallas when Brees retires? I can see that happen.

Why would ANY head coach leave this team? Especially Payton. They are set for some years to come with great players. Brees went down last year. Team won 6 in a row. Went down this year the team went 3 and 1. Grass is greener somewhere else is either HUGE money or family.
