It just blows my mind that for a coach who has done so little with so much, Payton talks a lot about other coaches. He had a Top 5 QB in this era and probably a Top 10 all time QB and had one SB appearance. Bountygate took place under his watch and there is no scenario where he comes out looking good in it. He better expect to be “pissed off” this year because barring injuries, Denver isn’t making the playoffs. He’s not in the NFC anymore and he has a huge drop off in QBs from his Saints days and the AFC is loaded with elite teams and QBs. Even worse, he is in the AFCW which means he will get to face a team twice a year that has the better QB, roster, HC, and GM. At least he will get paid well for it.
