Mike Garafolo: Saints are set to make a decision on Derek Carr within the next few weeks; likely to have multiple suitors if released (21 Viewers)

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

It's okay not to be right 100% of the time since this forum is all opinions including yours. Fans on this forum had the correct opinions on carr, Allen and the team the last 3 seasons. Raiders fans had the correct assessment to on carr during his time there. He is who he is, a mediocre starting QB who will not win you the game, but will get nervous and throw the ball out of play win he feels pressure. He's worse than a horrible QB because the team still thinks they have hope that he can be the guy. Every hill is not a hill to plant a flag on and defend it to the death.

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.

I don’t think Darnold will get outrageous money, signing/trading for high priced veteran QB’s hasn’t been a winning strategy the last few years. The best outcomes recently have been from teams that brought guys in on a prove it deal—can the QB win in their system with their supporting cast? If they did prove it, they still received mid tier deals. Baker only received $40m guaranteed after proving he could win in Tampa, compare that to us giving Carr $70m guaranteed hoping he could make us a winner in New Orleans.

LOL what's embarrassing is your lack of any intelligent football conversation. You don't discuss the topic, you don't bring and facts or knowledge to the conversation. Your post amount to saying " I know you are but what am I? " I will happily do what I have done to only a select few and put you on ignore, not because you're combative but because you just don't bring intelligent discourse to the table

You don't have to say goodbye. You can just stop. Your football knowledge consists of excuses, and asinine questions.

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.

I agree with, or at least understand, some of what you’re saying, but willing a team to victory is a really abstract idea. As it is, Derek Carr currently sits at 14th all time, tied with Brett Favre, for most 4th quarter comeback wins, so we know he has the ability to play under pressure.

Carr actually comes out pretty well in a number of statistical areas - even in his time with us - but he’s spent most of his career with a chronically bad franchise, then came here to play for a coach most fans were relieved to see the team part ways with. He’s also been injured a lot here, playing behind a frequently patchwork OL.

I think related to what you’re saying; Carr hasn’t been the problem for us, but he’s probably not the solution on the road ahead for this team.

TBH, I think all this arguing about Carr is kind of pointless....because, in the end.....It really doesn't matter what we think of Carr, it really only matters what KM thinks of Carr at this point....we will find out soon....
