Lafleur is a great play designer.
Pete is running payton's old play book, which had gotten stale.
People qould be bitching about payton on here the last couple of years.
Ever notice the saints don't have many easy plays in their play book.

Eh-its partly that, its also going for the HR play instead of the easy 5-7 yd outs where the wrs are wide arse open. How many drives stall out because it starts off good, and then they throw a damn long ball for nothing and wind up effectively losing a down? They have hit one bomb to Olave so far and got 0 points from it. There is no offensive identity on this team, and while I agree that Winston has been horrid, solely switching to Dalton and doing nothing else solves nothing.

Packers also have a 4x MVP QB under center

the QB has tpo be able to read defenses to run the RPO and thats why we dont do it, winston is a bust and not anything more then a decent BU QB and thats all he will ever be.
i dont know if dalton is the guy but its clear its passed time to find out. either way, winston has proven on the field that he is not the answer

The rules for linemen downfield are vastly different in the NFL than college.
In college, a lineman can be 3 yards downfield on a forward pass, which is why the RPO is so hard to defend. In the NFL, it’s only 1 yard.
So, RPOs are always run blocking schemes, which means the QB has very little time to throw the ball before a lineman is in an advanced position and a flag is thrown for illegal man downfield. Not sure you want to force Jameis to make that decision.

Well....running RPO's requires a QB to read the DE's (mostly) and can be easier on some QB's at times.
Winston (albeit hurt) is playing pretty bad at the moment. However, it's also on the coaching staff bcuz they decide player personnel and the fact that he's still starting and AD has yet to step in is on them. If your backup can't play even when the starter is clearly hurt...you really have no backup.
There's no room in the run game because the defense doesn't respect JW to stretch the field. JW's decision-making is horrible to have been in the NFL as long as he has. Our o-line is also inconsistent.
Truth is, we have problems in all facets of the game. Allen is a decent DC but he is failing as a HC.

Our QBs are Winston who has spinal fractures and Andy Dalton who probably runs slightly better than me after crushing some chicken wings today.
RPO needs the defense to fear a QBs ability to run.

To the two posts above this, RPO’s are not read options. you’re not reading the defensive end nor do you need a quarterback who can run or move to operate it.
RPO’s are run plays with a route tagged onto the play, so instead of having a receiver half arse a block on the backside of the play, they would run a route - usually a slant on a smoke screen. The quarterback reads the linebacker or the safety occupying the space where that route is going to. If the safety/linebacker reads run and crashes, the QB pulls and throws the ball. If they read pass and stay in that space; the QB hands off.
Here’s a pretty simplistic chart of a basic RPO play:
And like I said above, the illegal man downfield rules limit what you can do with a RPO in the nfl. RPO’s are always run plays first, so the offensive line will be blocking and getting downfield — putting you at risk for illegal men downfield or a pass interference call.
