Derek Carr is going to shock the world

Drew Brees 2.0? I hope you're right. I'm having a hard time believing that. Especially since our oc hasn't proven he can bring out the best in the offense.

He will be good but Brees was elite, once in a lifetime Qb. If Carr has a good team around him we can find success but he’s not the kind of QB that can elevate our team if we have the worst defense in history. Brees was on another level and every time he touched the ball there was always a probability we could score. Brees didn’t need elite talent around him, just a good offensive line. Doubt we get another producer like Brees in our lifetime

Agreed.

The one time that Carr actually had a decent team around him with the Raiders was in 2016. He had the team at 12-3 and suffered a broken leg in game 15. Connor Cook and Matt McGloin took over at QB and they lost in the first round.

Carr's only chance in a playoff game was in 2021 with the 30th ranked defense facing Joe Burrow in the Wild Card game. They lost by seven.

Our defense is far superior than anything Carr had during his entire career with the Raiders. He's definitely not a Brees v2.0, but he gives us a far better shot than any other option we may have for years to come.

100% this! Carr can lead a good team to victory. We have the parts to be a good team again. The poor fella never had a chance with the Raiders. Al Davis and his son, Mark the bowl cut Davis, have made the Raiders perennial losers. Carr never stood a chance. He's got a good chance in New Orleans now and Loomis is stock piling weapons to make him successful. Let's see what he does with a good defense to help him out.

There is the Saints before The Benson Family ERA and with The Benson Family since 1985.

The Saints have been thru tuff times during during both. Mickey Loomis was hired in 2002 by the Benson’s and is now the longest tenured GM in NFL. I feel it accurate to say that Loomis’s hiring marked a seismic change in the day to day operations of the Saints football operations and philosophy.

It would be hard to dispute that under Benson ownership and Mickey Loomis years as GM/Head of Football Operations the Saints have been one of NFL’s most well run, stable and successful football operations.

Since Loomis hired Payton they have .631 wining record, 7th overall in the NFL since 2006.

To use “Colin right Colin wrong” we will all see where our personal insight and opinion fall out next January 2024. It will be interesting no doubt.

On CGJ it’s his 3rd team in less than 9 months … gone and long forgotten.

Last year was a huge disappointment for Saint fans. This year watch us sneak up on the NFL. We've got better weapons than in recent years and we are going to shock a whole lot of people.

I always get my hopes up this time of year. I've got to keep my expectations low... it's for my health.

I know what you mean about low expectations. The last couple of years my hopes have been high and I suffered the whole year watching my Saints struggle. On the bright side, at least I didn't bet on them to win the Super bowl.

This year just feels different than the last couple of disappointing seasons. I feel enthusiastic about the off season moves and I'm anticipating another strong draft. Maybe it's my youthful expectations. I'm only 64 and was born an optimist. Give me good play calling and good health. This team can stand toe to toe with anyone and win curb stomp them after we win. jk

Shaheed was nervous about the QB situation. Most fans were too. I know I was praying for a miracle. We've got Carr now and the team looks motivated to get behind him. Let's go win the south.
