Sean Payton is a top offensive mind, but sometimes I believe he still thinks he has a 30 year old Brees under center.

The trick play had more to do with Jameis athletic ability to run more than the throw itself. Ball only traveled 28 yards in the air and contrary to most of the beliefs on this forum, Drew can make that throw. Now lining up wide and sprinting back to the middle of the field, probably not.
