That speaks directly to what Pederson thought of the Jags QB situation compared to that of the Saints.
Pederson knew he had Lawrence to build around, and no matter what everything else looked like, that’s a more appealing option than a bust QB who got multiple HCs fired before he was replaced and chased…

Well, sure, I would think that was part of it. Lawrence is a second year QB, in a bad situation last season, so he comes with a great deal more promise and benefit of the doubt. I don't think anybody would really argue that. Conversely, Winston comes with a much greater amount of uncertainty.

In a previous post, I had made a case for why the Saints might not have been an attractive option to McDaniel, and other offensive minded coaches, so possibly Pederson, too, going well beyond the QB position.
