The Broncos lack a clear plan behind center, but the veteran Payton does not have a track record for developing rookie quarterbacks.
Have you met Sean Payton ? The guy whose highest drafted quarterbacks during his time with the New Orleans Saints were Garrett Grayson and Ian Book ? The guy who coached a Saints team that spent so feverishly and in the moment with neglect for the future that Capital One nearly revoked their credit card? The guy who has been clandestinely connected to all manner of veteran quarterbacks through NFL backchannels seemingly every season since he left New Orleans, whether he was actively working as...
This isn’t a capital R report, just a question that has been nagging me and should be nagging you. Payton is one of the most unabashedly competitive people in the NFL and has no track record of developing a rookie quarterback, only talking about that time heWhile I don’t know this about Payton personally, there are some coaches who simply don’t like dealing with rookie quarterbacks.
So, you ask, what does this mean? We’re past the thickest portion of free agency and Kirk Cousins is off the board, along with Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, Tyrod Taylor, Drew Lock, Joe Flacco and so on. We’re close to entering a draft weekend where at least three, but likely four teams will select a quarterback in the top 10.
But, none of this has stopped Payton before. Just look at New Orleans, a team with a financial reputation akin to Enron. Each year we told ourselves that this club could not possibly spend or trade or deal, and there they were, signing players with what could only be untraceable Starbucks gift certificate incentives to skirt the disastrous cap.
