Carr is the key to PC's exodus (My Opinion)

I think DA put too much faith in Pete. When Payton was here, and we didn't have a good DC, we struggled and the defense was one of the worst in history. When we had Greg Williams and then DA, Payton could focus on what he does best which is scheming for the offense side of the ball. We are in the opposite situation where DA can make sure our defense is top 10, but he needs a competent OC to run that side of the ball. Pete hid under Payton and Brees all that time and got too much credit for the being the OC. Its obvious he's not the guy we need. Bad o-line play aside, we need a change at OC. Like you said, we are married to Carr for now. Re-tooling the O-line isn't going to happen mid-season. Our best option is to make a change at OC and hope someone new can scheme a better offense that works with our weakness.
