Payton had 'doubts' Caleb Williams would succeed in the NFL

I used to share the same opinion of Sean Payton...until I met him in person the year he was suspended in New Orleans.  He was a neighbor of a major client of mine, who set up the meeting.  He was fairly humbled by the situation and acknowledged he screwed up.
The other thing I'll note is that my daughter and grandkids (huge Broncos fans) just flew home to Colorado this morning after a long weekend here in Montana.  One thing that became evident is that he has turned the Broncos franchise into something of relevance again.

Having said all that, I see all the pros and cons of Williams.  I'm definitely not sold on him either.  I think the Bears can own him and I'm totally fine with that.  He's emotionally unstable and has trouble recognizing things on the field quickly.  I'll just stop there, but he is not the second coming of Jim McMahon in Chicago, that's for darn sure.

I think most would have a different opinion of celebrities if they actually met them in personal setting.

That said, I still dislike him.  And I just don't understand why he would comment on a player on another team.  Seems odd.  Maybe he was asked, but the professional response would be to be mildly complementary and redirect to his own players.

At the end of the day, he's a 14 year old boy in a grown man's body. Don't forget his mock skol chant or the fact that he says he "baited" the Vikings to move up for McCarthy. He likes to think of himself as smarter than everyone else. The Williams dig is just one more example of that. Thanks Sean. You certainly are the wise one here. Because no one but YOU questioned Williams processing speed and decision making when it was in virtually every scouting report.
