I don't think the one has to tarnish the other. Having said that, If we do win a championship with this group then that's a pretty big skin on the wall for Loomis and DA honestly. There's an argument to be made (and many have made it here) that we should've had another one or two SBs, at least appearances if not wins. Didn't happen for a host of reasons and so that's why, for me, it's not all on Payton but he's got to take some of the blame as he was the HC during those seasons
