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.

"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. |

Re: ALVIN KAMARA posts cryptic messages on social media amid contract saga
He’s like the 18th highest paid QB right now, which is right about where he ranks as a QB in the league. He had the 16th highest QBR last year. $37 million really isn’t a lot to being a QB in 2024. Goff is getting $50 million a year to manage games in a similar fashion to Carr. Like I said previously, if he stinks it up take the cap hit and move off of him next year. I don’t feel like we’re in doomsday mode. It’s a make or break season for both Carr and Allen.
