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

He lost me when he said, "they may have to move Cam Jordan. Lattimore will be a cap casualty, Brady could move to the Niners" yadda, yadda, yadda.

They need to have a seat with me on the couch & talk football :rolleyes:.

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

Neither of these idiots understand how the Saints can work the cap. Cam? Lattimore? Idiots.

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

Well, I'm no couch GM like Smash, but I've learned what I learned about the cap on the bng, which is more than these guys know. They may not be idiots but they are definitely ignorant. Never mind. They are ignorant idiots. :broccoli:

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

Pretty sure if these guys had the chance to practice their GM chops it would only take a year or three to make Houston front office Bill O Brian look like a front office savant. 🤣:bng:

Carr's press conference

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

I heard some live and he really loved Michael Thomas. He said Thomas was saying he was ready to start working out with him right now and he said he had to tell Thomas to wait a bit. LOL!

Man, this reminds me so much of the Brees family.

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

Lots of smile moments in that introductory press conference. Carr comes off without question as a genuine high character person grounded in faith, family, team and maximum work ethic.

IMHO he hit all the right notes and highlighted how important Dennis, Pete, Mickey, Mrs Benson, the Mannings and Drew’s personal insight to the way this organization at the end of the process operates made him want to be in the Saints Family … WhoDat!!!

As he said at one point to paraphrase “time to get to work and make potential into results”. :bng::bng:

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

Listened to the first half. A bunch of good stuff in there. i love the bit about Brees and the Mannings helping the Saints land him.

I bet stuff about the city, nice places to live, schools and such are a lot mor important to a guy in his thirties with 4 kids than it would be to a 24 year old bachelor. Lucky us that he had some great people to seek advice from.

I wasn't that excited when I first read about the Saints interest in Carr but I'm warming to him. I'll always root for whoever* we put behind center.

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

Man how I miss that uni-combo. Would like to see more of it again.

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

Me too, Crusader. It's always been my favorite.

Nice interview with Jen Hale at the Pels game.

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

I always pulled for Derek Carr because it's obvious that he has his priorities straight and I like his pocket presence. He was drafted by the Raiders and floundered along with the rest of the team for nine years.

Carr has strong ties to his faith. You can look at his family and see that he is raising children with strong core values too. The photos of Drew's and Carr's family are eerily similar. Here's to Carr being the Savior like Drew. :cheers:

Hopefully, he can be the calming influence we've needed to fill the leadership void since Drew retired and Sean went on sabbatical, before being traded to Denver. The team lacked direction last year and hopefully Carr is the rudder needed to steer us back in the right direction again.

I guess I'm gonna have to wait and let Carr and Gilkin figure out #4 before a Jersey drop.

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

This. Right there. Makes me so happy. I'm so excited for the coming season. Especially after listening to him a couple posts back Guido made where he is talking to that reporter in the stands. How he has already been so embraced.

I told my wife. When we signed Carr, I felt like Christmas had come early. It was just such an amazing feeling. And... to top it off, cast away just like Drew was. This is going to be an amazing season I feel.

The Season Can't start soon enough.

Who Dat!

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

Carr's recent interviews are impressive. He seems very at ease and at home with the Saints and the fans. We'll see with the results, but it feels as if Carr was the right choice.

Little known that Derek Carr is an ordained minister. Preaches around the country.

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

Believe it or not I am an ordained minister as well. I performed the wedding ceremony for my Brother-in-law. They are still together! I don’t go around preaching much though.

I’m also a Lord in Scotland. 😝

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

Good Lord. I know royalty! :stupid:

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

Small world. I'm a Lord in Northern Ireland! :p Lord of Ardmore. Slievekirk Wood.

Definitely not a minister, however. Was Chair of the Church Council for 2020-2022. :p
