re: Does Payton even look at analytics?

Its amazing yall dont realize you run more when you are leading, therefore you have a better record when you run more

Was coming in here to say the same thing. The "x-x record when running y times" is a very flawed stat.

Warren Sharp, who runs a predictive analytics site and is a consultant for a few NFL teams, has commented before that in general a lot teams over commit to the run and do not throw the ball enough. I'm not saying this can be applied to the Saints, because with all analytic arguments, it is situational based. My point is just that if you want to refer to the analytics community on running the ball, the new argument is that passing is more effective in general.
