The biggest player our season hinges on

The biggest player the season hinges on is the same player it is for every team in the league THE QB!

So for the Saints, it’s Derek Carr. The OL is sketchy, but sketchy OLs were overcome by great QB play (Brees and the quick passing game).

Even when the QB hasn’t been close to greatness, and teams have won the championship in spite of the QB (The Ravens and Trent Dilfer)… That championship Ravens’ team SB win hinged on Trent Dilfer making a few plays and NOT making the big mistakes to lose it.
I don’t think it’s Carr. I don’t even think it’s our rookie LT. that guy can clearly play. It’s whoever plays RT. That’s the weak spot on the line and offense. Besides that it’s our OC. I agree the truly great ones like Brees and Brady made the o line and WRs better than what they even were. But that’s not most QBs and not Carr. Carr is on the low side above average and on the high side great. Most of his career has been good which is in between. Carr is not in the mold of Brees or Brady. You must surround him with a solid o line, run game, and some talent at receiver, and solid pay calling to get the best out him. If you do that he can be a great QB but he won’t be in the realm of a Brees or Brady. Good thing is he doesn’t have to be for us to win and have a chance at a Super Bowl.
