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

But what happens in 2024? What happens if that QB is a bust and has tons of guaranteed money and even their non-guaranteed money is effectively guaranteed because 'it's cheaper to keep them than cut them' because the 2024 cap hit will be $35 million but the dead money to cut will be $70 million.

We need to get younger. We need to fix the cap. The problem with the cap is not that we can't add one player we really need to add. The problem with the cap is that we are more than one player away, and we can't subtract cancers and dead weight that we really need to cut, because we can't afford to double the cap hit with a cut when we rely on halving it ever season with a restructure that makes the cap hit and dead money even bigger the next season.

My take is that Carr is a good but not great QB. Good but not great QBs often don't maintain their performance in the second half of their careers like many great QBs recently have. Carr to me is a Bledsoe, Brooks, Delhomme, Goff, Dalton, Hasselbeck, Jones, Wentz, Foles, Garappalo, Cousins, Smith, etc. Most of those guys made pro bowls. But many declined in the second half of their careers. At best I feel like Carr is a Matt Ryan, Cam Newton, Philip Rivers type.

NeauxFW... better broad jump and vertical jump than Mahomes.. in combine history?

Doesn't matter if he can't play QB. Maybe it matters for a WR?

Athletically gifted but his tape says he’s a project @ QB.

It only takes one team to believe in his talent but I don’t see 1st rd traits.

IMO Hooker is a much better prospect.

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

People said exactly the same things about Lamar Jackson who earned a unanimous MVP at QB. Go figure.

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

The difference being however that Lamar had stats to back himself up.

69 TD's to 27 interceptions in 3 years

Anthony Richardson has 24 TD's to 15 interceptions in 3 years.

I agree with what Rez said earlier, he should have stayed in college for 1 more year.

The combine to me is also not a great judge, athletically he is a beast, no doubt about it. But all the analysts are getting wowed about him throwing 60 yards downfield with no defender on the field, much like Jamarcus Russell could do.

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

Yup. No telling. Never saw him play a snap. I was just commenting that I heard the exact same comments about Jackson of whom I had never seen play a snap.

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

So what you're saying is that the Saints should draft Hooker :D ?

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

Maybe, I guees no problem with his injury? What other draft candidates might we have a shot for, without giving away our picks?

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

If he's there and he's our guy, I wouldn't be annoyed.

60%+ completion percentage every year
Low int numbers and almost 30 passing TD's per season.

Unequivocally.
