"The Payton/Brees run started with a ‘06 NFCS title run"
"Payton and Brees didn’t turn into “Payton and Brees” until 2009.
That period before the Super Bowl only yielded a 25-23 record then they won the championship and became the HOFers you see today.
But it started with a ‘06 division title run"
The 2nd part is just some oddball narrative you made up. But the reason they were Payton and Brees, was because they were Payton and Brees. The 2 most important humans on a football team 1) QB 2) HC. Both Hall of Fame in their respective positions. Likening this, to that, just doesnt hold water.
