Saints Almost Got Patrick Mahomes

Crap article. KC moved up from 27 to 10 to get Mahomes while NO sat still.

And if that had happened Payton would still be the coach here.

And I was almost interested

I remember that...

And I almost picked the winning lottery numbers, except I didn’t. Big deal

I remember that. I had my fingers crossed...then...whiff. Clyde might be a Saint now.

Talk about a slow news day.

Old news !

What year is it

Sure they did. Funny how Sean Payton didn't tell this story right after that draft, but, rather, five years later. Easy to make yourself look better by saying you knew he was going to be a star. And he drafts Ian Book and Garrett Grayson in the third round, and I'm supposed to think he can evaluate college quarterbacks?

Payton is an overrated hack. Not sure why people are frothing at the mouth for him to succeed Mike McCarthy in Dallas. They've had basically the same record and been in the league almost the same amount of time, and both blew multiple chances to get to another Super Bowl with a Hall of Fame quarterback. They're the same coach.
