I seriously don't understand the salty ex-girlfriend-level hate that Payton gets from Saints fans. Dude gave us 15 seasons, including the winningest stretch in team history and a freaking Super Bowl win. Geez, get over it.
And even in his departure he took a year off, gave us a first round pick, and went to an AFC team. He also made sure that we were set up with a successor in house.
Like I get that it sucks that he’s gone but what do people expect? It’s okay to want to see something different after so long in one place. The dude gave us the best years of saints football and stuck with us through thick and thin.
