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.

We’ll be dead by then, and the Saints will be long gone within the next decade.

uhhh... there is one on the horizon .. just 3 years down the path. Arch Manning. Prime Example of my wisdom over yours.

I don't compare Carr to Brees.

"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.

Let's just see what he does without having to deal with inept playcalling. Carmichael was calling the same crap in 2022 and we only won seven games.

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.

With ALL DUE RESPECT (to you, not to them), we heard the exact same thing about Allen and Carr this time last year. And here we are. Again…

Best AND worst case scenario, they both “perform” just adequately enough to stick around.
