Frankly, I don’t think that this team is a winner with Sean Payton. We were only competitive with the unique combination of a good QB, good HC, and good defense. I’m not completely convinced we have any of the above. Even if Allen was fired today, I still think we’d be looking at a lame duck coach unless we had a substantial QB upgrade, say Aaron Rodgers. I think we are 2-3 years away. It’s hard for me to root for someone to fail. I think if you hire someone, they should be given a fair shake. When we signed Allen we committed to him for 2 years. Who knows…the Saints could somehow overachieve. I’ve been a Saints fan long enough that they can do worse than Allen, and having Payton has blinded many to that.
