Look, I am no fan of Dennis Allen and I REALLY hope we make a change, but this statement is the exact reason I believe us fans have given Sean Payton way too much credit. Bill B. had Tom Brady, arguably the best to ever play the game and he got 6 Superbowl victories and made it 3 other times. Sean Payton had (arguably) the 2nd or 3rd best to ever play the game with Drew Brees and we only went to and won 1. Yes, we were screwed a couple of times, but there's no guarantees if we didn't. Sean, at minimum, should have brought this city at least 3 superbowl wins with a couple more appearances. Also, because he was essentially the GM, you have to blame Sean for all the crap free agent/draft picks we've made. It seems like we always strike gold in the 3rd round or later and even Undrafted rookies, but we crap the bed on most of his 1st round & 2nd round picks. Sean Payton left because he saw the team was getting worse and he saw the cap hell that HE helped put us in.
