I think at some point.. Sean Payton broke.. then Sean Payton developed an ego... and that ego drives him that in his mind he KNOWS what he wants to make a team thats Superbowl ready.. but he just wants someone to give him everything that he wants.
Example when we had Tom Benson.. he probably said.. hey you get whatever you want and we will make it happen.
somewhere we went from that model to the model of "Money Ball" where we played the numbers.
example.. we couldve had Suh and likely collected that 2nd superbowl.. that Rams team doesnt make it past the Saints without Suh.. and we likely win it all with Suh.
but..... we crunched the numbers and said.. this is what we are going to pay you...
well that model is dead.. and we still think its the model that our organization thrives on.. we picked the wrong head coach and we aren't big dogs in the league anymore..
and the organization just cant accept that our best years are behind us until we can create something new... we arent going anywhere..
we gotta get rid of that model..
Sean Payton is a victim of his own success in which he wont accept his way is the only way the team should go.
