Saints-Cowgirls game

Completely agree about Brees. But it also helps when you have a competent GM in Mickey Loomis--hires Payton, signs Brees, gets lucky with Bush, finds Colston.

Also--what a masterful job in calling a game by Payton. Totally bamboozled Parcells...

If Mickey Loomis is your idea of competent GM, I'll stay with Gibbs thank you. I think this is a textbook case of a blind squirrel finding a nut. I think Payton was a desperation hire, and the man has done a brilliant job. It also helped that Miami made an obvious error in judgement in trading a 2nd for Culpepper when Brees wanted to be there, consequently forcing Brees to sign in New Orleans.

All that said, Payton has done a brilliant job building this team up from the ground in one season. Unfortunately, I don't expect any less from them next week as they attempt to lock up a bye.

All I said is that he was competent. If you are implying that he has had some luck (especially around Bush) then I agree he has had some. But it does take some competency to go 4 for 4 on these personnel calls.

Of course, it takes a real genius to throw 10 million each at 4 FAs and end up with a donut...
