Saints rumors are going to revolve heavily around the quarterback position this offseason and the latest name to be linked to New Orleans is current Raiders quarterback, Derek Carr.

According to Ian Rapoport, Carr’s future with the Raiders depends on whoever is hired as the next head coach. Jon Gruden resigned midway through the 2021 season due to leaked emails yet the Raiders persevered and find themselves in the playoffs with an interim head coach.

Carr has played well this season despite all of the drama going in Las Vegas, throwing for 4,804 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He has his ups and downs, but what quarterback doesn’t? He’d easily be an upgrade over any of the quarterbacks on the Saints’ roster.

Rapoport finished his article by mentioning the Saints as a potential destination for Carr:

"Among the teams who would make sense for Carr are the Saints, Texans and perhaps the Colts, should they decide to move on from Carson Wentz. If Carr is, in fact, available, he will likely garner more interest than that."

Read the rest here ...

I’m not vehemently opposed to Carr, but the fact that the author said he’d easily be an upgrade over anybody on the roster is a huge stretch. Jameis Winston is a more talented QB than Derek Carr. Winston went #1 overall for a reason. He’s now in the best situation he’s ever been in. I don’t blame him for not being able to overcome a ****ty organization like the Bucs. Only a Tom Brady could change that around. He’s got stability here. We need to retain continuity. It’s not time to blow it up just yet.

Winston > Carr

Winston > Carr

We make the post season if Winston stays healthy this season and with the Rams and Niners making the Divisional Round, anything could have happened if we made it (particularly with our D).
