Meanwhile Sean Payton is Sean Paytoning in Denver {Thread from September Bumped }

"And even" Teddy Bridgewater?

I get that he ultimately ended up as a career backup, but let's not pretend he was some undrafted or late round rando who happened to look impressive enough in preseason to make a team. He was a first round pick who ended up making a pro bowl and started a playoff game.
The point was he was a journeyman due to injury before he came to the Saints. He didn’t do as well after he moved on from here. Payton got the most out of him.
Actually, while I agree that CSP is known as a "pass happy" coach, I think it is really a misnomer.....he is more of a situational match up type coach....I can list multiple years where your premise regarding the run/pass ratio is demonstrably false (below are full seasons, not a game or 2).....

2006 run pass was 45-55
2009 45-55
2017 45-55
2018 48-52
2019 42-58
2020 49-51

And, not coincidentally, those were some of the Saints best years, I think CSP was always striving for balance....you can argue that he often abandoned the run too soon some years but to call him "pass happy" is not accurate....IMO
Some years and in a lot of individual games at critical situations he went pass happy or would not adjust...
