Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith

New York Giants: Daniel Jones

Minnesota Vikings: Kirk Cousins

Baltimore Ravens: Tyler Huntley. One stupid fumble away from winning in the playoffs.

San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy

None of these guys are world beaters. 49ers almost went all the way with a 3rd stringer. It's all about health and can you go on a run.

We need to build the interior of this offensive line, grab Carr, and beef up at running back. Moves on the defensive side of the ball would be a nice cherry on top but I don't even think we have to if we can upgrade offensively.

I guess we fixing to truly see this time around, sans the SP coat tails. :popcorn:

Even more interesting some think he's wroth over $30 million a year...

What Would BB do... is likely a great question to ask in this instance.

I think we've already seen the answer, neaux?

Raiders roster been pretty trash the entire time just to be fair. Offensive line was consistently bad.

Not sure about the O line but what about Waller, DeVante' Adams, Renfroe & Josh Jacobs at the skilled spots?

IDK, I'm just not expecting the needle to move much with DCarr in New Orleans (assuming he signs). Hopefully, the Saints/Mickey draw the line on compensation.

Exactly. In the past fifteen years the Raiders defense has never been ranked better than 20th in the league in points allowed. Hard to win games when your defense can't hold anyone under 28 points per game.

Ask Drew how hard it is to win a championship without a good defense.

Hell, just ask him how hard it is to even win more than seven games.

It's actually NOT interesting. And HE'S not interesting. We just don't have much else to talk about, sadly... probably for the next couple of seasons, sadly.

We can still talk about Hendon Hooker. His draft stock is rising pretty quickly after interviewing at the Senior Bowl.

Waller missed 8 games last year. Renfrow missed 7. Adams had 1,500 yards and 14 TDs. Jacobs had a career year. Raiders defense was ranked like 28th. I’m not convinced Carr is a star but I’m intrigued.

This is a compelling argument. The Saints defense is solid and will hopefully add some players to the line and at DB. The offensive line is above average and they have the skill players to move the ball around the field.

Daniel Jones reportedly wants $45M per season

WTH? What has DJones accomplished to command that type of salary?

No telling what DCarr's camp is asking but the Saints shouldn't break the bank either. Get your books in order & continue to draft well.

Next in line. If the Giants won't pay it, someone else will. Note that $45 million is the cost of the exclusive QB franchise tag.

The only way to have it both ways is to draft a QB high in the first round. Only there is the talent elite and the price tag for the first 5 years are reasonable.

That's why I find discussions about Carr, or Rodgers, or Jackson, or any other elite QB that could be available for trade or signing in free agency laughable. Their ballparks are $50 million a year, and likely almost all of it guaranteed. Unless you are an organization that's prepared to win like next year, it's just a waste of time.

Um, I'm ready to win next year. Besides, Carr isn't in that ballpark.

Of course you are ready to win next year. But that's because your are the ultimate optimist. The realist in me doesn't see a complete Saints team that's only missing a QB that's prepared to take on the final 4 from last year's conference championships yet. As such blowing out the salary cap to bring in a QB until we've addressed the holes in both lines, along with solid backups along virtually every position in the offense and the defense.

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.

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.

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.

I don't see Dalton returning (Free Agent) to NOLA.

Even in a backup role.
