New Orleans Saints signing quarterback Derek Carr to four-year deal

Boston Saint · 03-08-2023, 10:05 AM

My nephew grew up in Bay area and has been a Raiders fan all his life. He thinks it will be a good move for us. Apart from Carr never having played with a good D, he points out that he will likely thrive in a Dome environment. Oakland (I’ve been there myself) frequently had blackouts and poor field conditions with iffy weather. Trading that in for the SD should make him more comfortable.

Welcome back Boston. We've still got dark clouds but a lot more sunshine too.

Reminds me of those NFL players of the early 90s. Tough, team guy & leaves it all on the field every single Sunday.

We need more players like Hill.

Yeah his stats for 2022:

9 Receptions 77 yards 2 TDs
96 Rushes 575 yards 7 TDS
13 of 19 passing for 240 yards and 2 TDs
3 KO returns for 69 yards

Guy is a baller. Stop the hate on the Tay Tay!

A snippet of gospel truth from that article:

You don’t get into sports management to save a billionaire owner some money on payroll. Fans don’t tune in every week or spend thousands of dollars on tickets and traveling to support a team that’s trying to tank. Sports are entertainment, and the Saints are embracing that by doing all they can to maximize their resources. You don’t have to pay interest on future cap space or win more games for having unspent cap space. You play to win the game and that extends to the front office.

We can agree or disagree on whether Carr is the right guy for the job, and not every team has the appetite to pay out a bunch of signing bonuses every year, but it’s not a moral failing to try and win now. In an industry where few people are fortunate to hold the same job for even three years, the only real choice is to live in the moment and compete on Sundays.

Fox Sports’ Nick Wright couldn’t be more wrong about the Saints and the salary cap
