For anyone who says Carr is just a stat padder and don’t win:

An elite offensive minded coach can make a playoff run with Carr. Similar to how Andy Reid kept making the playoffs with Alex Smith, but I think Carr can make bigger plays than Alex Smith giving Carr a better chance to make a deep playoff run in that scenario. He’s not perfect, but I’d take him over more than half of the league starting QB’s. I’m just not sure the Saints are going to be able to get much out of Carr given the coach and talent of the team.
I can go w/almost everything you say, EXCEPT your take on Alex Smith.
He was playing at a Pro Bowl level in SF,until he got hurt & Kapernick stepped up. He was playing at an MVP level in KC, until he got hurt & we know what Mahommes has done. He was playing great in WASH until he had another horrific injury. Injuries always took him out, If you look at his injuries they were the fault of his OL & bad luck. His play was always underrated.
Carr has played for way too many head coach/OC to ever get it right. Just here 2 HC( 1 fired & 1 interim) & 2 OC(1 fired & 1 working w/a practice squad team for most of the season). He's also never had even a decent D. That was the thing that he/we thought woud finally change for him last year. How did the D play last year? How about this year? He's always given it his all & the fans her are blaming him for all of the problems of the last 4 years that have come home to roost. Next year he is still the best option, but he'll have another new HC/OC.
