Four Realistic Landing Spots for QB Derek Carr

Therein lies the issue. How come he wasn't able to utilize Renfro and Holland better. He also had 2 very capable TEs in Waller and Morneau. They should be open quite a bit with Adams on the field. Plus Jacobs is a monster at RB. Carr should of been way more productive than what he was.

Carr is a decent to good QB. Saints need more than that.

Hollins had his best season as a pro, by far, catching 57 passes for 690 and 4 tds. His next closest yardage total was his rookie season in 2017 for 227 yards. Foster Moreau had the best season of his four year career with 420 yards. Josh Jacobs had his best receiving yardage season. Waller was activated in 9 games and started 6. Renfro was activated in 10 games and started 1.

Decent to good is better than what we have in Dalton and decent to good is about the best you can hope to find in the free agent market unless you get really lucky.

I've never been an enthusiastic fan of Carr - think he's a solid player who never quite worked into the top level of QBs - but he has talent and ability to work with, and given the situation the Saints are in, and the direction things are headed for Carr in Las Vegas, I think under the right circumstances, he would be an upgrade this offseason at a position where we desperately need one. I'm enthusiastic about that. He'd be an improvement in the intermediate passing attack over Dalton which would go a long way to getting this offense moving forward. He's had success, from all I can tell he's a high character guy, and could be a solid mentor to a young developmental QB.

If you're this against it, what's your preferred vision for hoping the team can be more competitive in 2023?
