The entire NFL is on the verge of major change on offense

Spot on op. Spot on. SP's system was all fine and good while we had Drew. Defenses knew what the Saints were going to do but they still couldn't stop it because we had the most accurate passer of a football in the history of mankind. On top of a first ballot HoF QB we had great interior O line play and great weapons for the system. We were able to run the ball if SP felt like it but he didn't always commit to the run. And with Drew Brees at QB, who can blame him?

The minute Drew retired our offensive approach needed to change. The things that worked with an all time great QB weren't going to work with just about any other QB. And when SP left it was time to completely overhaul the offense. It was like a restaurant losing it's founder and head chef. So the Sous-chef was handed the recipe book and was expected to keep everything going.
