IF that's the case then we can plug any ole QB in the system and get success, right? Really?
If that were true we'd have a great backup/replacement already in the stable. The fact is every year we watch another rookie flail around until he, too, is let go. The Payton game plan is a chassis waiting for a high-powered engine. It won't make a racer out of a 4-cylinder.
It's Brees that makes Payton's plans work, NOT the other way around.
We plugged McCown in last year against Carolina and he tore them up. Literally inches away from a game winning touchdown.
McCown hasn't played a game like that in his career for any other coach.
