Sean Payton Props Up His QB Without Being Incendiary

Sean Payton said all those things privately, but for some reason decided that to properly prop up his quarterback, he needed to take it public. Why did all this stuff have to be public? Anything he said to Jared Bell, he could have just said behind closed doors and avoided stirring up the Jets or Nathaniel Hackett. There's a way to accomplish the same thing without being quite so blunt and harsh.
