Why Moving on from Carr this offseason is not a financial option.

Ross Jackson is a bit of a sunshine pumper though, but he has ideas on how to fix things and will discuss them. Not just go off on a rant. He also attends games and practices.

Moscona does neither one, and gets his opinions from other people rather than digging in for details That's it! He's shallow and acts like he's an insider. We've got enough of that on the bng already, which is enough for me.

Rugs I agree I’m certainly not happy with the product at this point but this not DC fault entirely. Oline play, play design, offensive scheme, play calling, route running, JT called that out on more than one occasion and play, communication and at this point in the season is more about our coaching staff for Christ sake.

How can you point a finger at one single thing or individual when you have all the rest of the team structure, function and accountability that is just not working. That’s on coaching and to think at this point Allen and our OC will turn the offensive side around is a long shot at best.

Stop watching AFR was just was into Moscone’s stick.

So we have teams/players knowing where Carr is going (check down) pre snap, respected analyst(s) all saying the same thing (missing open reads) in their weekly breakdowns, Rez sitting in the expensive seats knowing exactly where he is going with the ball, holding it too long, etc, etc.

Geez, we’re in trouble

I respect your opinion WW, but I have to say that the team problems fall squarely on Dennis Allen. He was the one who wanted to hire Dougie Moron(the O line coach). He was the one who wanted to hire Pete Carmichael. He was the one who signed off on the draft reaches.

He set this team up by bringing in his old cronies from previous stops rather than look for fresh ideas elsewhere. He's still letting Carmichael call stale plays rather than replacing him.

Nepotism.....

Spotrac and Overthecap are now showing the Saints as $87-89 million over the 2024 cap. When I wrote this post 2 months ago, they showed us $71.5 million over the cap. Does anyone know how this happened? They project for an increased salary cap, so did projections fall due to some kind of delayed NFL TV deals? I don't think we extended any more contracts. Did players somehow trigger some giant bonuses? Did BS like signing Jason Pierre Paul for one game have a bad effect?

Almost $90 million over the cap is bad. Essentially we are at a point where Carr could hold the franchise hostage and demand a 10 year fully guaranteed extension with full veto power over all personnel moves to restructure his contract, and Loomis might have to thank him and say yes. Yes we can get under the cap but it makes a rebuild or getting younger almost impossible as we have to restructure virtually everyone but Carr if Carr won't go along with it. If Carr and a couple other players banded together on resisting restructures, they could control the team.

And yes there are tricks to get under the cap with Post-June-1 cut designations, but my understanding is that that designation does not actually cut your cap until June 1, even if it allows the player to move on and sign elsewhere in the meantime, and it is against league rules to exceed the salary cap in March, April, and May. So now we have to restructure 3/4 of our veteran roster by salary.

Hey Rugs my bad Allen has no business acting like Head Coach …. He’s made that abundantly clear.

Carr is going to be around in 2024, possibly 2025 but you MUST
draft a QB.

Derek will NEVER get us where we want to be.

He’s as mediocre as they come.
