Sean Payton and New Orleans Saints
The drafting of Garrett Grayson puts a slight dent in this idea, but it doesn’t change the facts of the moment. Drew Brees is 36-years old. He isn’t going to last much longer as the starter of the New Orleans Saints, at least not at his customary levels. Head coach Sean Payton clearly sees the need to start collecting younger bodies in order to begin the search for his eventual replacement. Payton too is a creative schemer who understands how to shift the offense around the players he has, quarterback being no exception.
