Sean Payton has really grown!

Galbreath,

I think you're so geared up for a fight that you continue to miss the "simple" premise of my argument. Let me break it down as much as I can and then I'll let you have your shine for as long as you want it.

I agree that Brees is the greatest QB in the league and I personally would not want anyone else handling the reigns. However, this is a team game and Brees can't do it all by himself. We as Saints fans have witnessed this over the past 3 years.

After establishing that even Brees, in all his greatness can't do it all by himself we must look to the other components of the team(I.e. The defense, the running game and the coaching, which includes the play-calling).

Thanks to Payton bringing in GW we have addressed our D. Thanks to Thomas, Bell and even Bush we have the weapons for the running game. The only thing that concerns me are "mindsets" like yourself, which states that b/c Drew is the best player we can only win with the ball in his hands. If this was tennis, golf or any individual sport I would agree. Football, however, is a team sport where u might have to rely on role players to let your star player shine.

Even Michael Jordan had to realize this in order to win. Yes Paxton and BJ Armstrong benefited from the double teams of Jordan but if Jordan never gave them the ball when they were wide open for the 3 pointer he would have never got rid of the double teams and ultimately win the big one.

In conclusion, as a coach you need to recognize that a man (in this case the running game) is open early in the game and give him the ball for the benefit of the team as well as your star player.

Love Drew. Love Payton but I love the overall success of my team more!
