Yeah he really sucked before Sean Payton

They just moved from him because of the injury and they just weren't quite sold on him.

[Holladay]

Oh, and while he's staying busy being mediocre, he will destroy Denver's salary cap situation.

Mission already accomplished.

Right.

They wanted someone more explosive. Brees played really solid football, for the most part, in San Diego. But the one thing that jumps off the page when you look at his stats in SD is his average yards per attempt.

It was 8.2 his rookie season. It dropped all the way to 6.2 in his second year. And in his third year he posted a pathetic 5.9 average yard per attempt.

The Chargers felt like he was a game manager and they wanted more.

Sean Payton is much closer to Andy Reid than Mike McCarthy.

Mike McCarthy took over for the Green Bay Packers, an established, prebuilt team with years of consistent success.

Payton, like Andy Reid, took over for a team who accomplished nothing for decades prior to him getting there. The Saints had one playoff win in their entire history before Sean Payton took over.

Mike McCarthy started on 3rd base, Sean Payton started with an 0-2 count and still has a higher winning percentage (.631) than McCarthy (.614).

Being better than Mike McCarthy, what a high bar to clear.

SD actually offered Brees a contract after that injury, which Brees declined. SD had drafted Eli Manning and traded him for Rivers.

Andy Reid has been to TEN conference championship games with TWO different teams. Comparing him in any way to Sean Payton is ****ing laughable.

Sean Payton’s resume and winning percentage is better than Andy Reid’s was when he left Philly.

Are you high?

[RunKC]

Mike McCarthy was actually better than Sean Payton. Both had a hall of fame QB. McCarthy got to multiple conference championships.

Sean Payton could barely get to one conference championship game after his SB with an elite QB.

Don’t even dare compare Payton to Andy. He’s not in the same universe as him. Andy took multiple franchises to at least 4 conference championship games and a SB.

Sean Payton is living off of his 2009 SB bc everything since has been massively underwhelming

Nope. He's actually that dumb.

I couldn't tell ya because I don't watch NFC football. It's a shit product with shit teams from shit cities.

NY, Chicago, NOLA, DC, Philly, etc.

just no. Payton is never in the conversation as one of the best active HC, let alone in history.

Currently Andy and Bill are the cream of the crop. Payton is somewhere in the middle of the pack

[RunKC]

In his 11 years post Super Bowl victory (not counting bounty gate suspension) this is his resume:

5 division titles
Missed playoffs 5 years
5-7 playoff record
1 conference championship (home loss)
No Super Bowl appearances

The guy is massively overrated. That’s not considering the fact that he missed on Patrick Mahomes after calling him the best prospect he’d ever seen and being in good position to get him.
