They run completely different offenses.

The Saints run quick timing patterns, getting the ball out quickly.

And you can say BR holds the ball too long, and he does. But how many sacks has he avoided my being mobile in the pocket?

At minimum, it's a wash, and I'd bet if you charted every pass play this year, you'd find he avoided more sacks that he caused by holding the ball too long.
