Payton does like his basic white midget QBs to make him look good 

I mean, I wouldn't call Brees basic. 

I don't think Payton likes Russell's fake persona and bologna (that's how I see it at least).   He walked into Denver and basically told Wilson to stop being whatever he is.   He was always annoyed with Wilson from day 1. Probably the contrast in what Wilson is selling vs Payton.  It's not about play.  Wilson has been playing well.  I think Brees essentially was an echo of Payton's vision and leadership.  Russell brings his own style that is just unique to him.  Which I can get people just not liking Wilson.  He might not be but he does come off as fake and annoying.

I read they asked him to restructure his deal weeks ago, he was shocked and no deal could be reached so they moved on to plan b, sounds like he’s gone in March.

Wilson and Payton we're always predicted to be a poor match, but it had to do with system fit and personality, not skin color.

There's apparently a rumor now that Wilson could wind up joining Bill Belichick next season, and Lord have mercy would I want to see the "Hard Knocks" style video of that 😄

The whole "oh, it's just about money" thing is a pretty dumb argument.

If they believed he was the guy they could build a consistent winner around, they wouldn't give a sh-t about that stuff.

Wilson is being benched because he's not good enough.

Not good enough for that contract but not bad at all

I'm not sure anybody's good enough for that contract. But what's probably more relevant is that he's not a good fit for Sean Payton's system at all.

Payton runs a very buttoned down, rigid system whereas most of Wilson's best plays come from off platform improvisation.

Those two were never a good match.

Wilson thrived in a run heavy offense while using his athleticism to by time and make plays in the passing game.  I never really saw he get beyond his first read so its no surprise that with that athleticism fading and still not running through progressions he's getting benched in hopes another QB can run the offense more traditionally.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
