Derek Carr world tour thread (updated with combine visits)

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. I like Carr, but he’s being overhyped by the forum right now because the Saints are looking at him. We have all convinced ourselves that he is better than what he is. He hasn’t looked good the past two seasons and his supporting cast may be even better than we have in New Orleans

Well, I had him in ffl a couple of years ago and he put up some big numbers. Watched several of his games and he's been solid until last year. And word coming out of LV is he had his hands tied by McDaniels and that led to the drop in performance this year. So, I'm inclined to believe his performance last year was an aberration and not his usual high level of play, which even then wasn't terrible.

He had issues when getting in the red zone, but I'd put that on coaching.

We disagree, which is fine, but I think the best thing to do is go with an experienced vet who can bring a high level of play and stability at the QB position. We get him, we can focus the draft on other key positions. Also, we didn't have to give anything up to get him, other than a contract offer.
