Saints head coach Kellen Moore introductory press conference, media updates, February 13, 2025
He said a lot of nice things about Carr. Rightfully so. But he was given a point-blank question and an opportunity to say that Carr would be the Saints starting quarterback and he chose not to answer that.
Dude, did you listen to the press conference yourself? It doesn't sound like you did.
Moore was asked only two questions about Carr during the entire press conference. Both questions, and I repeat, both questions, clearly asked Moore if Carr would be his starter.
Both times, and I repeat, both times Moore answered the question honestly. His answer both times was that he thinks Carr is a tremendous starter and a premier QB, but he hasn't really had a chance to go through the process of meeting with Carr or any other player, but he's very excited and looking forward to going through the process with Carr and with the other players.
Triplet was the one that asked Moore the same question for the second time. He was basically laughing at Triplet for asking him the same question that he had already answered several minutes before. Moore answered both questions, you either didn't hear Moore's answer for yourself or you just don't want to hear it.
At this point, it really seems like the only thing that will keep Carr from being the starter is if Carr doesn't want to stick around and/or Loomis and Carr's agent can't reach an agreement on how to adjust Carr's contract. I think if Carr wants to be starting for the Saints next year, he will be.
In none of my posts regarding this topic, for what it's worth, have I said that he's gone. I just think it's very clear that they're going to explore all options.
I haven't seen anyone say anything that would disagree with that. Please keep that in mind if Carr ends up being the starter, because it means Moore explored all the options and he felt Carr was the best option.
