N/S Payton critiques old Broncos staff, says Jets are setting themselves up for a hard fall, etc.

I haven't put much thought into Payton since he ISN"T on the team anymore. More concern with what we got here. But what he said is exactly what most of their fan base and media was thinking. I don't think he should say it like that to the media. It is further distractions that his team does not need. It is unprofessional and sort of immature. You expect that from players but from coach to another coach... he pretty much violate the "coaches code". Payton always preach about social media etiquette and keeping things private within the organizations but he broke his own rules.

Some people here are still upset about him leaving here and "ditching us". I really don't feel it that way. 15 years with the same organization is un heard of and super rare. If you work for a company for so many years, there are urges to want to explore other opportunities. I always have that feeling that he wanted to leave a long time ago. For him to stay this long is a bit of a surprise. But I knew his time here was coming to an end. I am grateful for what he did. Big shoes to fill, of course. But it was time.
