Re: ALVIN KAMARA posts cryptic messages on social media amid contract saga
Unfortunately we saw clutch for much of the last two decades in Drew Brees. Our standards have been set ridiculously high. There are only a small handful of QB's in the league today that can be considered clutch. Being simply average means you are one of the 15-17 best players in the world at your position. It may be another two or three decades before we happen upon another QB that truly meets our expectations.

Drew could make a no-name receiver, a named receiver. Carr will never do that. I want to see how the team operates under the new offense. I think we have the opportunity to have a solid offense, but how impactful will be seen. |

These two key components, QB and Head Coach, were simply not addressed properly by our inept management, and shuffling all of these other chess pieces around, unfortunately will not make us a contender for championship status.

"Being Clutch" would be someone who more often than not, makes a play when you need it. In Carr, I see a QB who struggles to finish drives in the red zone. He's inconsistent, he's full of platitudes that feel hollow and seems to shrink when it counts most. We don't need Drew Brees, we need more consistent execution. |
