The Guy means someone good enough to start and win more than lose while we still have 7 to 10 all-pro caliber players on the roster.
Payton has a lot of good will with the front office, but if the wheels fall off, post Drew, the whole thing might get blown up and I don’t think Sean wants to go out like that. If Hill or Winston show themselves unable to make enough plays to win games they should, don’t expect patience from CSP.
