Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

Carr is ok but its better to find an ok qb with a second day draft pick because they are way cheaper and younger. We are not one player away. We need the cash to pay for dead cap costs of cutting dead weight.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

Consistency is totally dependent upon health. There isn't a team in the league that can be consistent on the offensive line when they are missing 60% to 80% of their starters. A successful offensive line is a cohesive unit. It is impossible to develop that cohesiveness with the guy to either side shuffling in and out every other game.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

That is all good and fine, but it may take years of picks for one of those drafted QB's to actually pan out.

That doesn't mean I feel we should make a move for Carr, but an established NFL QB is a known quantity, at least, and worth a little more coin.

And Peat is consistently injured. Our backups are consistently bad.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

All this negative is correct.

The Saints need better depth as well.

** Peat has yet to play an entire season in his 8 year NFL career.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

Penning
Upgrade Peat
McCoy
Ruiz
Ram

That's a line Derek Carr could have success behind

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

Speaking of Penning ...

Did anyone see his play vs the Browns? This guy was moving grown men off the line a few times.

I think he becomes the truth at tackle.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

YES!! I can't wait to see us get a LG just as good.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

If Payton was here I'd be all for Derek Carr. I feel that way about most of these QB's. I believe in Payton's ability to get the best out of them. Dennis Allen and Pete Carmichael? Nah.

Re: I'd like to try and get Derek Carr
 

No kidding. Everyone's third string backups are consistently bad. That why we need the starters to remain healthy to gain that consistency. As long as players are constantly moving in and out of the lineup they have no shot at being "consistent".

Just look at Tampa Bay. They have suffered just as many injuries to their offensive line than the Saints. Their offense is struggling and would easily have three or four more losses without Brady under center.

Injuries are the great equalizer.
