Dave Ziegler joining the Saints as an advisor for Free Agency and the draft (Saints permanently hire Ziegler as Personnel Advisor)

I think you are overstating Carr's injury history and it's just more reason to prioritize OL. If we need to rely on a #2 QB, then bring in a cheap vet. No rookie we can draft will be reliable.

There is no 14th overall or 2nd round QB that will play ANY snaps for us in 2024 barring injury. A 1st rd OT and 2nd rd DL likely plays close to a combined 140% of snaps. IDL is rotational by nature. The bar you are setting for any rookie (must play 100% of snap or draft a QB) is unreasonable.

Carr's contract, our cap, team needs, and draft position makes taking QB in the 1st or 2nd a poor choice barring a top 3 guy falling.

Does strengthening the oline fix Carr’s propensity to hold the ball

You are just speculating now. You don't know how many conversations DA had with DC about OC's . And do you think that if KK was totally against having DC as QB1 he would have taken the job????

Not speculating at all. DA, on the NFL.com show/interview literally said he reached out to Carr after he hired KK to gauge how he felt about the hire considering the history his brother had w/ that system since he was cut after Kubiaks 1st season w/ Houston.

At that point, there’s no reason to gauge his feelings after the hire if you’d already discussed with him prior.

it’s not rocket science to draw the conclusion. Also Loomis, when asked at his end of year conference scoffed at the fact that Carr would be included in the search w/ a quote along the lines of, “that’s not his job”

You’re speculating that I’m speculating.
