Drew Brees made a Pro Bowl in San Diego then got hurt. Apart from coming back from injury, he was a known quantity as a very good NFL quarterback.
Sean Payton doesn't even have an Alex Smith on his resume outside of Brees.
This idea that I'm supposed to defer to Sean Payton on his QB analysis because of some bullshit story he flat out made up on the Cowherd show (no, he absolutely didn't have Mahomes graded higher than any QB he'd ever seen because he wouldn't have sat ass at 11 if he did) is just asinine.
Payton being in love with Nix isn't a demonstration of Payton's brilliance - it just proves the guy loves the smell of his own farts. Which, honestly, we knew already.

He out-recruited Mike Shanahan for Tony Romo and attempted to trade for Romo, who was still a backup at the time, after taking the Saints job.
Then he decided to sign Drew Brees instead of using the #2 overall pick on Vince Young, Matt Leinart, or Jay Cutler.
Not only does Sean Payton know QBs, he knows how to get the most out of them as well:
