Nah, not really. I mean, I get where you could get that from, but Shanahan's overriding philosophy when it comes to QBs is to keep them on a leash; he doesn't want the QB to improv at all. Plus, Shanahan's offense is predicated on that run game. The passing attack is pretty much generated off of it.
Sean Payton is kind of the opposite. Oh, Sean wants to be able to run the ball, but he can operate his offense with a minimal amount of running. He never leaned into the run game the way Shanahan always has. And Payton's passing attack is more advanced than Shanahan's. Finally, Sean will give his QB opportunities to make bigger plays than what the original concept asks for.
Shanahan pretty much doesn't allow his QBs to do that sort of thing. He wants to dictate exactly when and where the QB will take a shot, otherwise he's not a fan of the QB taking those kinds of risks.
