Saints candidates Kellen Moore, Joe Brady [and Kliff Kingsbury] compared to Ben Johnson in offensive rankings

You say that as if Joe Brady is a head coach making the decisions for the full team. Let's not forget you're comparing what is likely a hall of fame coach, controlling a full team who has been coaching in the NFL for 18 years, has gone through his growing pains as a head coach (remember 07 and 08), to an offensive coordinator with not much more then an MVP QB to work with and rely on carrying his team offense that is all he has fair control over (and still not full control since he has a head coach to answer to).

No you’re 100% correct. I realize that. My original comparison was to someone’s post about how well Buffalo and Josh Allen were doing this well with Joe Brady as OC this offseason and comparisons to Ben Johnson and Kellen Moore from a stat ranking standpoint. I was just giving a different perspective on Buffalo, Josh Allen and Joe Brady in general this season based on their schedule and other factors. Yes, there’s no comparison as to what SP is able to do and the total control he has as evident by what he has done with Bo Nix. To be clear, I think Josh Allen is a better QB than Bo Nix, but Bo Nix is clearly been coached up and Josh Allen hasn’t had to throw for 4,000 yards or 40 TDs with their +24 turnover differential.

To that effect I was just pointing out that I’m not so sure that Joe Brady, Josh or Buffalo for that matter has faced a lot of adversity this year. When they have they didn’t particularly shine when it was against good or really good teams on the road with the exception being an extremely banged up Detroit unit. Which I admit was probably Joe Brady’s best called game as OC. His worst, a 35-10 drubbing at Baltimore. I say all that just to reiterate my opinion, once again “my opinion” that Joe Brady is a decent OC, good passing coordinator but is just not ready to be a HC at the NFL level yet.

As I stated though, similar things have been said about young OCs and DCs that have had success and some longevity as NFL HCs: Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Mike Tomlin. So who knows.
