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

I would say he is definitely off the table. We should probably still begin the Patriots approach and start drafting and grooming QB's to backup Carr and eventually be used as trade bait. Carr is going to be the long term answer moving forward and the Saints have just jumped into being the favorites to win the division.

Guess we're all in.

I'm glad this is over with. This gives us a clear direction as a franchise.

I hope I am wrong, but the Saints signing Carr feels almost the same as the time the Saints traded for Richard Todd... I know that is going way back and we know how Todd worked out. Hope I am wrong and Carr leads us to championships!

To me it seems more like when the Saints went out and signed a free agent named Drew Brees.

Don't give up Matthew.

I'm still hopeful we select a QB in the draft & I completely get the cautious optimism of the signing. There are zero guarantees Carr moves the needle in NO. ZERO.

Especially with Allen and Carmichael calling plays.

I hope we draft Tune in the mid rounds, McCall is going back to school but if he wasn't I would be screaming to draft him and let him develop. Tune will develop into a good qb.

I've read a couple of scout reports comparing his skill set to Brock Purdy.

So in theory, he's a lower-round pick or goes undrafted.

We'll see.

I don't know Major, there are a lot of teams needing qb.'s this season. Seems a little more than usual. Possibly he could be had in the lower rounds but I don't think he's gonna be to low. 4th maybe 5th
