Saints Most Dynamic Offense Ever?

I'd say using 3 HBs, a FB, a TE, and 4 WRs consistently is more that the 49ers used under Montana, Fouts or Marino used, or the Rams. Drew usually hits 7 to 9 receivers a game...most of these other O's used 2-3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 HB, and 1 FB.

That is more a sign of the times than anything else and a lot of other NFL teams like the Packers and Patriots also spread the catches and carries around greatly. It helps when there are more spread and dynamic offenses in college so that NFL teams have higher quality skill players to draft.

I imagine that if Marino and Shula were in today's NFL they wouldn't be throwing deep to Clayton and Duper all the time, it would look more like a spread offense as well.
