What should the Saints’ plan be to upgrade at QB?

We’d avg 2 sacks per drive.

I think he played for the Giants for a few seasons.

I think it somewhat depends on what comes from the eventual SP trade.

Will we have enough draft capital to acquire a potential franchise QB this year?

I'm not convinced that any current FA QB will fill the void for any significant amount of time.

Aside from that, do you make a play for Lance or Love?

I think therein lies the biggest problem. How do you ever know if that player will ever become a franchise QB?

I think I'd almost rather use our higher draft capital on players at other positions that have better chance of contributing fairly soon, find some decent bridge QB, and draft mid-round types and hope one pans out at QB. Problem is that might takes years to hit, but at least you be building at other positions along the way.

Draft 2 or more QB's this year.

At the moment I wouldn't be crushed if the Saints were to try and accumulate more and better picks for future drafts while tanking the season.

Naturally I hope for success, but I feel like a rebuild is necessary for another championship.

It's really not that complicated. Yeah, in some cases it takes time to develop a QB, but in reality, either they have it or not. Much of the ability resides between the ears when reaching the professional level. Whiners may have lucked out with Purdy, or did they? Just like SP knew with Mahomes, proper evaluation could go a long way.

Is Carr still in play?

I love Carr's leadership and mettle, but his price tag scares the crap out of me.
