Derek Carr stayed and made sure everyone got an autograph at yesterday’s open practice

To the Saints credit, they set the table for Derek Carr - Year two for DC, and, Kubiak with a new install.

Derek has to show he can thrive in the offense and he'll be given some time in the regular season to adapt. But anything short of his finally raising his talent ceiling and leading the Saints to wins and key wins will not be an acceptable performance.

Some spicy matchups with big stages are just around the corner - season opener, at Dallas, Philly at home, Falcons on the road, Chiefs on the road, Broncos at home.

DC, are you a playoff QB or just a paycheck player?
