I hope Kamara stays Kamara. A baller.

He gone soft. You can see it with your own eyes. Watch.

Our QB is a DUD, and our O-line is everybody’s go to excuse, and we need a HEAD COACH.

You won’t see me jump out the window to defend Carr, but the offensive line is more than just an excuse. They’ve been ineffective at both pass protection and run blocking. For a team that wants to run it up the middle we’ve done a poor job of assembling an interior offensive line. I’ve had the new college football game for a while now and the first thing I did was go and recruit as many elite offensive lineman as I could find. It always starts in the trenches for me.

Well, we get to see what Kubiak does…

John Benton is your O line coach. One of the best.

John Benton, a 33-year veteran in the coaching ranks, including 19 in the NFL, enters his first season as offensive line coach with the New Orleans Saints. Of the NFL offensive lines he has directed since 2004, seven seasons those teams have finished in the top ten in the league in rushing yards per game.

Carr is not the guy. He tries hard to sound like the guy but it falls flat and he isn't clutch. Hate to admit it but Baker is more of a dawg than Carr.

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.

I would agree with all of this. Carr is more of a bridge to a final destination, not the destination. That said, the O-Line now vs. when Drew was our QB is not comparable, and not in a good way.

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.

Good points… But Carr, being an overpaid bridge, and someone who couldn’t even dream of doing what Drew did, and having a Head Coach who is a DUD, keeps us in a perpetual state of irrelevance, if not mediocrity. 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.

With some people a negative light is the only thing they are capable of seeing.
