can't plan for the littany of injuries we had. My hope was alwaya that Rattler would have the ability to wait and develop for at least a year. I don't see where what we did was anything different from them other than they had a higher draft pick to access one of the top tier QB's.
You're going to have a tough time selling me on the idea that our plan was to replace Carr down the stretch of this season with one of our young backup QBs as our blueprint for the future.
You are correct to say that our season was derailed by an unimaginable number of injuries at most of the key positions on our team. But the Saints were looking at Carr as being the guy in the foreseeable future. He would not have been benched for Haener or Rattler no matter how ineffective Carr may have become.
The Falcons picked Penix because they anticipated Cousins being only a temporary solution to their QB issues. The Saints will be riding with Carr next year (until he gets injured again) unless by some miracle Rattler turns into the second coming of Fran Tarkenton. Other than that, the Saints have no plan.
