If we release Carr what would you think of bringing back Jameis? [Mod edit] (34 Viewers)

[Taker597]

And we have too many “missing pieces” now to do so in this draft when you consider our current QB Room’s potential and that 1971 class. This year’s QB class isn’t close to last year’s or the 1971 class — Plunkett, Archie and Dante Pastorini were all significantly better potential-wise than Ward or Shedeur are now. If we were set at most other positions, then it might be worth the risk. But we’re simply nowhere close to that being the case. And blowing a Top 10 pick simply because you haven’t drafted a QB in the first round for more than 50 years (except the fact we did with Dave Wilson in the 1981 supplemental draft, costing us our No. 1 pick in 1982 — we drafted Lindsay Scott with a No. 1 pick — the Chargers’ pick we received as part of th e Wes Chandler trade. We also got the Chargers’ third-round pick in 1982 along with WR Aundra Thompson) makes no sense. The point still holds true for more than 40 years. You don’t do just because you haven’t for so long.

That's exactly when teams draft a QB.

Sorry my friend, I simply disagree with the philosophy. Ryan Leaf, Todd Marinovich, Jamarcus Russell, Akili Smith, Jake Locker, Heath Shuler, David Carr and Josh Rosen are only some of the major QB busts that prove how dangerous that philosophy is and vastly harmed the teams that made those mistakes. The Saints simply have too many other needs considering that in all honesty, Rattler wasn’t given a fair chance last year and deserves a shot with Kellen Moore while we work to try and fill other major voids (with picks that could go bust, too). The Saints don’t have the luxury to buy into that philosophy at this point. … Hopefully they might be more able to in 2026, which has potential to be a much better class than we’re facing this draft.

To do color commentary and be a sideline reporter? Sounds good.

That’s Jameis’ true future

That’s Jameis’ true future

And he'll be really good at it too!

As much as I surprisingly came to appreciate Jameis as a man, my own personal feeling as a fan is I am just tired of looking back at this point. At least as a plan. If you need to fill a spot, you do what you have to do, of course. But I think we all just need to feel we're moving forward.

That ship sailed

 

[Deuuuuce]

If you get rid of Carr, you’re doing with the purpose of moving ahead with looking towards the future. Jameis is not the future, so it’s a no from me.

If you sign a veteran QB, it needs to be someone that you could sign for cheap and potentially get lucky and strike gold on to build around, someone in the Justin Fields realm.

A “veteran,” but still young and with pedigree that may have not been tapped into properly.

I’d like to see what Moore could do with Fields if he becomes available. Good low risk possibly high reward signing.

One issue I see with QB room as it stands now is we have 2 different styles of qb JH and DC are more stationary while SR seems to be much more mobile

Though Moore is said to adapt his offense to the player having 2 styles of player at qb would seem be hard to scheme

So if Cart goes at we stick with SR I would think anyone we sign has the same style

JW has some mobility but if I recall that’s what got him injured last time around

Cap wise I’d do what’s best with Carr but at this point I think everyone believes \knows including DC his future after max of 2 yrs is elsewhere

I do get the impression Carr wont like being a backup is SR is the starter day 1 which could have him relax his no trade clause but his salary maybe the hitch in a trade and you never hear anyone talk him up as a player or teammate

I'm good with Winston never being in a Saint uniform again. People say he loves the city and he showed a lot of love during the Superbowl.
He was paid to be here. I'll bet he would be a great encyclopedia or vacuum cleaner salesman too.
He shows great enthusiasm for his product and face it; he was lobbying for a job any chance he got.

 

[faceman]

If and that's a big Ifff we do release Carr you go with Rattler and draft a Qb.

The team won't be better in 2026. So, it's going to be the same situation. Hopefully, with a better pick.

But you can't find a franchise QB if you never draft one in 50 years. You can't rely on FA QB turning into a HOF player. Only one of those ever came around and it doesn't look like another is coming anytime soon.

If we signed him to a modest deal to be the backup I would have no problem with it, but really don't see it happening....

Apart from your condescending remarks that "he would be a great encyclopedia or vacuum cleaner salesman," there's absolutely nothing wrong with the qualities you listed.

Every player is paid to be where they are. There is nothing wrong with or negative about his enthusiasm and "lobbying for a job." For crying out loud, that is what all backups do!

I'm not advocating for his return to the Saints. As another member posted, "That ship has sailed."

I just strongly disagree with your description of Jameis as an insincere player and individual. He was nothing less than exemplary as a teammate and player for the Saints and your comments speaking so dismissively of his character are uncalled for IMHO.

Perhaps you should read your signature line again:

"Do the right thing because it's the right thing to do...even when no one is watching"

 

[ShortFuzed9]

If and a big if we release Carr, I would assume we sign a vet QB. What would you all think about Jamies for the right price?

I would think we were tanking! Sign Justin Fields he can be Jalen Hurts in the offense
