He hasn’t had a chance to be healthy and start since Payton. JW will never be the QB here, but he will still get another chance with another team, even if it’s a prove-it backup deal.
If DA and Carr fail in NO, they will both never get the same chances again. For Allen that means to be HC again and for Carr it means that if he fails here his days of signing 8 figure deals and being given a starting job without competition are over.
This is why DA would never start Winston and it’s probably why Carr is so all up on his feels all the time.
