For a chance to watch Sean Payton coaching his new team…

Running Payton offense is difficult. I often wonder why all but Drews can't run it efficiently. Teddy did a good job with it but he wasn't ask to do too much. He is the type that can adapt to any type of system. West coast system is a complex system that require offensive lines, tight ends and running backs to do a lot more. It is a great system when every area work in sync. I don't know much about Stidham and he did a good job doing it last night. It does make me wonder about Russell Wilson. He has never been good in using his running back and tight ends. Back then with Seattle, he used his legs to create plays and got away with busted coverages. Remember when Jimmy Johnson tried to change Dan Marino? Quarterback like Dan Marino, Brett Favre, and other gunslinger would struggle in this type of offense. I would be wondering if Wilson continue to struggle this year. After 3 games if he does, people would be calling for Stidham to come in.
So, here is the thing. The offense that we saw Drew run his time here wasn't "Payton's" offense per se. It was Drew's offense, as CSP built the offense centered around him, so yes, Drew would be the perfect QB to run it. He is building the offense around Russ and I honestly believe that he will be a lot better offensively this season than he was last, if he doesn't have in his mind that he is the type of QB he wanted to believe that he was. If he lets CSP cater the offense to him, his legacy could stay in tact.

But I agree 100% on your assessment with Russ and I said this when we were wanting to give up the house for him. His moonball is 2nd to none but he has red flags just like any other QB.

On a side note, in his prime, Drew was seen as a gunslinger
