If Derek Carr had played 17 games in 2025, the Saints would have finished 5-12 and picked #9 overall

I considered that but I think its a different point and nobody else is posting anything. It seems like an interesting topic to debate whether Carr's injuries had any effect on our record. I don't think they did. Right after the injuries happened we thought they had an effect, because our offense came out weak against two teams that struggled in 2023, the Chargers and Broncos. But it turns out the Chargers and Broncos both made the playoffs this year and allowed the two lowest points against on the season among all NFL teams. In hindsight, losing Carr had no effect.
