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

Tanner McKee is fool’s gold. Brock Osweiler all over again. Nick Foles at best.

Baker Mayfield has horrible pocket presence and would take sack after sack behind our line.

If we can’t get Carr then just go Jameis or Taysom. If we try Jameis again go Hooker. If we try Taysom change the entire offensive scheme and try to get Richardson.

Also gotta shore up safety as well. I’m not sure Carr with a bunch of rookies and cheap FAs is gonna do much.

Any free agent we get, QB or other position, isn't going to be much of a cap hit in 2023. Loomis can easily structure the deals so that the 2023 hits are minimal.

Maybe? If we don't land Carr, as I said earlier Mayfield wouldn't be a bad option. My argument would be. He's still young, keeps his head down in the study room, coachable, gunslinger, can and able to make all the throws, will come cheap, fits what Allen wants to do to a tee, can read D's and make adjustments, started a lot of games, don't make excusses, a team player. He may not be the fastest but more than capable of running. The guys may not be the most athletic dude in the world but given an O-line to protect him, good rb.'s, and a good TE to go with the WR's we already have + add one, he'll be fine. Guys we might never have another qb, like Brees or Manning just the way it is. But we can have an above the top game manager that can sling the ball around when needed and Mayfield is just that.

I somewhat agree with Matt on his take. The Saints want DCarr however he may not want the Saints as much.

Jets, Houston, TB, Carolina, Saints are all QB needy teams & his camp could be hoping to drive up the price.

Saints need to draw a line on compensation and stick to it.

Just pick a team dude

. There needs to be a solid Plan B in place though.

Long-term outlook, the Saints need to find their next QB in the draft.

I think JW's time is all but up in NO. Dennis Allen has given no indication that he will be a part of that QB room for 2023.

But I too want Hooker from this draft class
