Could Rattler be our QB1 after another year or 2 of development? (merged)

There is zero benefit to anyone by starting Carr next year. Firstly he just isn’t that good but more importantly, his timeline just doesn’t match with the Saints’. The Saints aren’t going to be good for a minimum of 2 more years. Carr isn’t young and the Saints clearly aren’t going to extend him.

You go with Rattler next year and find out whether he’s the long term answer. If not, you’re very likely picking top 5 and can get your QB of choice in the 2026 draft.
