That Derek Carr Contract is Looking Pretty Brilliant Now
As soon as we signed him my feelings were the same as now. Carr is your ultimate avg starting QB. Sometimes he will perform at a #10-11 level QB, but it usually evens out to just an average joe. He’s not great, but he’s not as bad as most fans say. He isn’t having success here bc our roster overall just isn’t good. If he had the Saints defense from 2019 or even 2020 I feel we would be a lot better. The issue is you have have an average starting caliber QB when the rest of your roster is depreciating. And unfortunately for us, our best players, especially on defensive side, have declined quickly. Bottom line Carr isn’t as bad as most negative fans say and he isn’t as good as most positive fans say. He is what he is and EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS COMING IN. He was notorious for being not great in the red zone prior to NOLA. That didn’t magically get better with new coaches.
