Slater on Payton, nailed hours before the news broke

[Hawkeye0202]

Noticed she seem to think Jerry can get this done THIS YEAR if he really wanted to........

 

[youngjerryjones]

It’s happening…had a gut feeling yesterday but the retirement this morning blew me away

 

[Haimerej]

Does anyone else think it's kind of weak for him to quit now that Jameis is his QB? Like he said he'd give it a shot but realized he's going to taint his legacy being stuck with a crap QB?

For me, it'll be telling if/when/where he comes back.

I was just in a twitter space at 3 am on Sean coming to Dallas…guess who was in there with 60 other folks…Tad Prescott lol

Idk how to post screenshots but I took one to send to my buddy for proof

If we give up a 1st rounder for him I am going to be pissed

Hopefully, her next epiphany will be Payton becoming the Cowboys next HC and it will come to pass as well. Here’s to hoping!!!!

Yea lets keep drafting players that get us into the playoffs and be 1 and done. I am tired of being outcoached and out played. Look at the last 25 years, we have nothing to show for it. If a 1st rounder is what it takes to change this franchise that is a cheap price to pay.

You’re tired of being out coached so you want to trade a first rounder for a guy who’s essentially quitting on his team lol.

Why is everyone salivating over this guy? He's been to one super bowl in how many years? With one of the best quarterbacks in the league. What am I missing?

Exactly. Sorta like the coach they have now.

Would love to see how Payton would utilize Tony Pollard on offense.

If he's planning on coming to Dallas I think that's proof that he's not real concerned about it.

There is a difference between "quitting" and needing a break from coaching. If you have worked long hours in your life with many of those years wondering if your going to have a job, it takes an exhaustion on your body. If you are a family man you will understand that your family comes first, set yourself at home then work on your job.

Would it really be that much different with Dak?

NOT a Dak thread.......keep moving

 

[JustChip]

If you don’t know the difference between what crap Payton ran out there post Winston and Dak, there’s no hope for you. Winston vs. Dak is a reasonable debate.

I said the exact thing in another thread . Giving millions to Hill thinking that was an option at QB was not going to work . Depending on a recovered from serious injury Winston not going to work. He bailed it’s that simple .

McVey Taylor McDermott Shanahan Kingsbury types are out there you have to look . Going back to a coach who won a decade or more in the past ( MM Payton ) is not the right track .

we aren’t giving up a first. That is outrageous.

Saints have zero leverage once they hire a new coach.

Can’t blame him…he probably wants to go somewhere, if he returns, with an established quarterback.

Easy to forget that Brees had five years of coaching and started to show flashes of greatness before Payton.

Not entirely true. They hold the asset - not releasing him out of his contract is all the leverage. Want him? Pay for him
