Even though it's a bit of a dumpster fire in Denver right now, I think it's a bit early to be passing verdicts on Sean Payton right now.
I think year 2-3 will tell us more. His teams post-Brees, while not upper echelon, were still fairly competitive.
I do think he will part ways with Russ at some point and that is likely when we will start seeing improvement on both sides of the ball.
