Jeff Duncan on Sean Payton 2023

If Payton does come back...


What do we do?

-We have to purge $60 Milly.
-No 1st round pick
-Super old team with pending suspensions
-No QB of the future

Payton would have to go back to staying to up 4 am every night to outcoach other teams with the talent deficit and still probably lose 7-10 games.

That's what got Payton burnt out in the 1st place.
I’d say it would be coming from a much different place, though.

And who knows? Maybe he does what he should have done with Taysom at QB in the first place: reshape the entire offense instead of just trying to squeeze him into the role that was already defined.
