I'd like to try and get Derek Carr

AsylumGuido · 02-09-2023, 06:18 PM

A second day of meetings with Carr sounds awful serious. This is not what one would expect when simply looking for a brief bridge to another QB. This has all of the trappings of a courtship for a long term relationship by the Saints' front office.

Talk about two birds with one stone.

If we could transplant Thomas' feet and ankles this move would be fire.

There we go! The decision maker was in attendance.

Two totally unrelated one off injuries doesn't bother me. Restructure to a heavily incentive weighted contract and let's go kick some ass.

It’s not that I don’t like MT, we can’t retain the liability. We have a decent receiving corps already! I say trade for another DB, DE or draft pick before we let him go! I don’t mind Carr at all, but we still need to take the best QB we can get this year!

I would be comfortable with Carr, but what concerns me is Allen bringing in some of his old friends? He didn’t win with the Raiders before?

Anyone he's bringing in have spent the past eight years or more in other systems. Did Payton's coaches do any better last season?

Wink, wink, Raiders cut Carr Tuesday, he signs with the Saints as soon as FA's can be signed.

If you don't want Carr, what are your other choices? At least choices you can "Control" (and that's what the team is aiming to do here)

Look, I applaud DA for going after the guy he believes is the answer at QB. At least he isn't sitting on his hands waiting for Andy Reid to leapfrog 10 spots and steal him away...

Carr is a top 15 QB and not only better than our current QBs - he's better than another option the team can count on landing.
