I see where going but it would require a complete refit since it the GCO and kill system favors interchangeable receivers and solid three step passing guards being favored over premium edge rush blocking tackles both sets of which would be undermined b a true feature back. For better or for worse that's what we've got right now. Obviously changes are coming in the off season. Even though the rumors out of NOLA are saying the tension in the locker room has greatly improved I still think it's possible the Payton is gone, and with him the GCO. If he stays we certainly will stick with it in some form, but Payton is a smart enough offensive mind to evolve it and will. Could it evolve it enough to allow a true feature back? I don't know. If I knew Xs & Os that well I probably would be sharing my theories someplace more high profile than reddit/r/fatpeoplehate2.0

I def think there's something too what you're saying, as Peyton had a similar issue trying to run Kubiak's offense... but I think Brees is well rounded enough that he could play with a feature back whereas Peyton at this point cannot. I do think that Brees has Atlas syndrome where he thinks he has to score 50 so he throws 3 picks and then he has to score 50 to make up for the picks. I think he'd much more effective at 30 pass attempts than 40 every week.
Brees would be fine in another offense, unless he gets old overnight he's a very well rounded athlete. You're right about his picks though. On paper it makes no sense for him to throw as many as he does (he's thrown them his whole career) since he is the most accurate passer that ever played. But he likes his home run balls too much. A lot of the time they're effectively arm punts and not too costly, but they definitely come from him trying to win games by himself. Peyton could't adapt to a new offense since it took a super human rehab effort to get back to running what he knew, let alone him being eve older and trying to do another evolution. But Brees could. I just don't see Sean Payton letting go of the GCO since it is basically his brainchild an he got called a genius for it.
