Agree. It’s also why Russ’ off-schedule “cooking” doesn’t work for Payton because Payton wants predictability with his plays.
If the play scores a TD and it involved Russ abandoning his reads and rolling out and hitting a receiver on a broken route - Payton doesn’t know if the play worked or not despite the result. Payton wants a guy like Brees who is a “schedule” guy. Specific reads, specific routes, if the play works - it goes into the pile of plays that he can draw from later. If it fails - he and the QB can diagnose why and fix it.
Russ is best when he’s not having to stay on schedule.
Russ and Payton philosophically are as mentioned “oil and water”.
It’s also why Payton wanted Brady when Drew retired.
