  2. I’m really hoping Payton cedes playcalling to him.

    Edit: this isn’t about Payton’s playcalling per se. This is more about freeing Payton’s mind up during the game instead of having to concentrate just on playcalling. Every head coach is at a disadvantage when they have to do double duty during the game.

    I don’t think we run that awful 4th down play with Stidham after burning a timeout if Payton gets to pay attention to the whole game.

  3. To the suprise of nobody. Unless he’s given playcalling duties this isn’t that big a deal. Nice to keep him in the building though

  4. Let’s Goooooo!! They know we finna hit the bowl next season!! Legendary run loading..!!

  9. I think it’s important to keep him around for the simple fact that he and Bo Nix seem to be good on terms, also because he’s a younger guy, and I think he can act as a bridge between Nix and Payton. And I think that bridge is needed at times.

  10. Everyone’s so worried about the play calling . . . It’s not all about play calling. He’s going to have a bigger part in the offense, period. He’ll be helping with game plans and play designs even more, which I think is more important anyways.

    While he won’t get Sean completely away from what he does, he’ll have a huge influence on the offense and we’re going to see shades of him throughout next season. He knows what Bo is capable of given how close they’ve been and his game plans will maximize his output.

  20. I really don’t have a grasp on the extent to what this means for our offense but you all seem stoked so hell yeah!

  23. So what portions of play-calling will be left to Webb? Does that mean we get to see a completely new offensive play style? Just wondering if Sean Payton is still involved in making decisions during pivotal moments.

  26. I have a feeling he can turn into be the Mike Shanahan for Nix long term, similar what Shanahan was for Elway.

  30. So happy with this move, Davis played an instrumental part in the development of Bo. Great move!

  31. I bet the people calling for Sean Payton to let Webb take over the play calling are the same folks that said Drew Lock was a starting QB.

  34. Am I crazy for thinking this is setting up for a John Elway – Reeves to Shanahan type arc for Bo Nix down the line?

  35. Hopefully our run game won’t be so stagnant. I know we didn’t have many backs to really work with but we could’ve desperately used some creativity to try to make more lanes for them.

  36. I’m glad they got this taken care of. Continuity with the offense is the only way it’s going to get better.
