Re: NFC South Quarterbacks

I hope you’re right Guido, I don’t have a problem being wrong but I just don’t see it with Carr. But I’m with Rez on Pennix. I think he’s gonna be a difference maker if he can stay healthy. However, I like Nix as well. Has started a lot of games and against some great competition over the last 4-5 years. I think he is as seasoned as anyone and I would be shocked to see him get passed Payton in Denver. If either one is there at 14 I grab them immediately. If not you gotta give Haener all the reps in preseason to see if he’s the guy.

Cousins

In that order.

I think Young might ascend this year and push Carr or Mayfield down to last.
What if Klint Kubiak works his magic with Carr and the offense, how is that list changed?

If Kubiak can get very best version of Carr and the Falcons get the very best version of Cousins I’d say Carr is just a step behind Cousins.

The Saints are all in on Carr. He’s their guy .

No QB will be selected in the 2024 draft for New Orleans.

And that sucks.

I believe the Saints decision to stick with Carr for the long term was made when they initially signed him whether any fans like that or not. I think their move to restructure this offseason only reinforces that decision. I can see them drafting another QB somewhere in the draft, not as competition for Carr, but as competition for Haener at backup.

Re: NFC South Quarterbacks

Speaking of Cousins, he does still have to pass his physical to make the deal official tomorrow.

On the "for what it's worth" front ...

Is it optimistic or pessimistic to point out that the Saints are ‘all in’ on a QB that doesn’t rank in the top 1/3rd of NFL QBs?

It feels like that 2am, last call, sort of ‘all in’.

Drew ranked in the top 3 with crappy defenses.

For me, it's a bit pessimistic.

I'm just kinda tired of hearing analysts & sports experts point out that "it takes time to get acclimated to the offense".

This is year 10 for Carr who often struggled (even when the o line held up) & then I see a rookie of the year (CJ Stroud) ball out of control or a 2 year starter (Jordan Love) throw for over 4k but more importantly lead his team to a playoff win in 2023 .

Carr just strikes me as a guy who doesn't want to accept blame when things go bad, like "it's not my fault".

He still locks in on WRs & is quick to dump it off. All I see is a high end game manager.

The new OC will help but I'm just not sold on Carr (prove me wrong) leading us back to where we want to be. He's just not that dude.

As for Brees ... he was just a different cat .
