Mike Thomas Approves of Carr
I just see excuses. We paid him a load of money for 1 year of catching passes and several years of doing nothing and you guys are ready to keep paying him? Not me. Time to move on. I don't dislike him and it sucks that he got injured. I really wish he could've kept killing it for us but he didn't. He didn't even come close to earning that contract so unless he wants to play for free for a couple seasons I'm done.
I’m confused. Where is anyone making excuses? Nothing we pointed out is anything but fact.
He was paid.
He balled out after.
He got injured on a play in which he shouldn’t have even been in the game.
He tries to “play through it” for Drew.
He has a set back in 2021
He came back ready in 2022
Balled out in week 1.
Got injured in week 2 making an attempt on an erratic pass by Winston.
None of that is excuses.
Should the Saints pay him 30 million on the 15th? NO WAY!
However, they’d be fools to not try and find a way to keep him in the fold. He’s the best receiver on the roster and will be the top receiver for any team who signs him. How would you feel facing him twice a year in Carolina or Atlanta?
Anyway, besides the point.
If… he is healthy…he is a huge addition to our offense that now has a QB.
Not excuses. Just fact.
Will it work out that he signs a team friendly deal to stay? Maybe not.
But if I’m Loomis - I’m trying to get him to agree to one.
