Payton Has Been Handcuffed to a 5 yard offense, That Ends Next Year (1 Viewer)

[whosyadaddy]

He has been using smoke and mirrors and parlor tricks to keep this team successful when we can't stretch a defense if we tried. The records he has attained with a dink and dunk offense the past few years is damn near miraculous. He did have to let Drew go out throwing I get it, but the man can't throw anymore plain and simple. We have been handicapped playing a 5 yard field against stacked defenses which is damn near impossible for years now and that needs to stop now and Thank God it will.

Mark my words next year with Jameis or another QB that a defense has to guard an entire field with and just cant stack a box for four quarters and you are going to see a much better offense. This is the same coach who made Kerry Collins a fantasy star back in the day when he was dog mess everywhere else. Made Tiki Barber an all purpose yardage machine when he was previously about to fumble his way out the league. We have the best mind in football watch what he does with an actual QB next year

Winston is ready

It's ok to say Winston you don't have to add (or another QB) for fear of being challenged by those who don't want to believe he's the contingency plan going forward.

I see this team looking like previous saints team with the seam route coming back to the offense and those deep shots down the sideline like in those Devery Henderson days come back with Winston and his big arm taking over

Sure hope so!

Smith was so wide open on the Winston pass. The defense was probably like “I thought we only had to guard 10 yards in front of us... where did that come from?”

Winston is ready

And I’m ready to see what Winston can do.

The fact that Teddy and Taysom didn’t throw downfield much either makes me wonder if the dink and dunk is what he wants to do now.

Be careful what you wish for

It's not fear you are completely misreading that entirely . I already know it won't be Hill full time. What I you or no one else knows is if Sean brings in someone to compete for the job. But u are going way into left field here.

 

[los226]

That’s why I never understood why people kept saying we need more receivers lol. How many more options were needed within 10yds?

 

[whosyadaddy]

Please tell us what's the alternative? Find another QB who can't throw beyond 10 yards? We are moving to a strong armed QB next year regardless

 

[whodatphil]

I agree. Accuracy and completion percentage will take a hit but there’s more than one way to win. I just don’t want someone who is careless with the football.

 

[Goatman Saint]

Next year should be interesting. I hope Winston has been paying attention and cleaning up his game. If he gets the discipline and such to avoid mistakes this team should be a riot to watch next year.
Of course if it’s Hill I may take the year off

 

[ThrowbackSaintXXL]

I imagine Jameis would be kinda like having AB back with a better coach & team around him. And yes u can sign me up for that allday

 

[HogsNSaints]

As sad as it is to see Brees go, this is an exciting transitional endeavor. It’s the first time in a very long time that Sean will work primarily with someone other than Brees in the offseason leading up to the season.

Backups have performed extremely well for NO throughout the Sean Payton era, but there’s a difference in prepping a guy for one week, and prepping a guy as your starter from the first day of camp. Someone other than Drew will get the first reps with the 1s, the more intense tape review, etc..

Jameis could definitely be that guy. Re-signing him is huge.
