I didnt say which medical issues. Clearly 46 was hiding cognitive decline. I am not an oncologist. It would not be incredibly surprising if a politician hid other conditions they felt at the time were managable but I am not saying it happened. Regardless, the Saints owed it to fans they asked to pony up for season tickets to be transparent about Carr’s outlook. Instead Loomis has always had the ‘you can’t handle the truth’ attitude and insisted on controlling fans who cant be trusted to think for themselves.

The issue that caused Carr's decision to retire wasn't discovered until he started training for this upcoming season ... well after season ticket renewals took place. It was not the same issue that both Carr and the front office were aware of months earlier.

The Saints hid the shoulder issue from fans for an unspecified period of time:

FWIW, I am a cancer survivor, twice. Prostate and later colon.

Respect, Smash. Colon for me and still clear. It was determined that Dad's prostate cancer was related to being a tail gunner in B-52's during Vietnam. They were used as Agent Orange carriers and a high percentage of gunners died from the same fate due to the residue in the hold. The U.S. military gratefully acknowledged this as cause of death which made things easier for my mother.

I am glad to hear that, Guido.

Carr is just an absolute clown.

Medical conditions can be very sneaky.

Good grief. This is old. Carr is gone. He retired. This did the Saints and 99% of fans a favor. He wasn’t exactly a favorite. Most wanted the team to move on from him at any cost.

Regardless, the only relevant thing now is that he’s being paid this year and next year. And it’s a fraction of what it would’ve been. Then he’s off the books.

As far as how he was injured, if the Saints knew or not or if he lied or whatever, who cares? He’s gone and we have a new HC and staff and we’re gonna have a new starting QB this year.

Why is this still a conversation?
