The Saints need an offensive identity independent of the QB. Bringing in a high priced mercenary isn't going to solve that problem.

Right now I just want to return to the playoffs, SFIAH. I went through over forty years without winning a Super Bowl. I can handle another wait if need be. What I can't wait for is being back in the playoffs. I can't take sitting in the stands losing games because of a QB that either can't see or can't hit wide open receivers.

We can still address the lines AND get the most important hole on the team filled in the QB. I want us to be competitive and win games at home. Right now I'm not concerned about beating those final four teams. I want us to be able to simply play those final four teams in the post season.

Who knows, maybe pigs will fly again. But at least that dream is there and alive.

I don’t know if we’re gonna get him man. I have manor doubts now.

This is going to take a while. With him being effectively the only QB on the free market now, I'm sure his agent is asking for the sun, the moon and the stars.

Never thought of it that way. Many teams need a qb and only one is available as of now. Supply and demand

His brother said Derek is going to take his time and meet with all interested teams. He said he's wanting to go primarily where it's the best fit. It sounds like the biggest deal isn't going to be the deciding factor. It sounds like the culture of the team is important to him.

In which case, knowing Carr and Allen have history, that doesn't speak volumes for Dennis Allen and having faith in his NOLA culture if the move doesn't happen.

All I know is that I've seen enough of Andy Dalton.

Precisely why the fallback ought to be Taysom if all else fails. And draft a young buck with loads of potential.

I don't know if Taysom Hill will last a full season. He has a very extensive injury history dating back to college and his aggressive Style leads to more injuries. Plus, he's just not a good quarterback. We need to get away from gimmicks and gadgets if we want to win championships.
