Mike Garafolo: Saints are set to make a decision on Derek Carr within the next few weeks; likely to have multiple suitors if released

Even more asinine is thinking that fans are the best assessment of a team. SMH ' You ever hear the age old statement that " A QB gets way more credit than then he deserves in a win and way more blame when it's a loss" . You know why it's an age old statement? BECAUSE IT TRUE.
If you are ridiculously delusional enough to believe that it just the QB that is responsible for winning and losing a game, then there is just no hope for you. And I'm not surprised

This is true that quarterbacks get too much blame in a loss but it is also true that these average quarterbacks that can't will their team to victory get paid too much.

Even though Carr "only" got 35 million a year he is still the highest paid player on the team by far and isn't the best player. That should not be the case. We also had to go into debt to sign him so we can't stack the team around to make him into the player some people think he is. We are stuck in neutral going no where with him as QB because we have limitations against the cap and a front office that has no idea what they are doing or how to rebuild, which leads to all these Derek Carr excuses continuing over the course of his 12 year career as if he is the goat that never was and none of it is his fault.

I would argue that just because you play QB doesnt mean that you are still the highest paid player on the team just because you play QB. The next example is going to be Sam Darnold who will get overpaid and whoever pays him will regret it.
