I doubt Sean Payton thought that Daniel was scum, but he also probably wasn't really turned on by the guy. He was a player Payton liked, who probably knew the playbook really well, and was low maintenance. If Brees went down, Payton's probably shitting his pants, and I'll bet he tells his GM to go find some veteran QBs who might be able to join the team pronto.
That's fine for a game or two. When you get an entire season of that shit, that's when you run into real trouble. Just ask Jim Caldwell and Curtis Painter.

Complete and utter speculation.
And you can ask Bill Polian if would still have his job had he ever attempted to upgrade his backup QB position.
