Prayers up for Derek Carr [Mod Edit: Derek Carr is week to week with fractured left hand and concussion] (3 Viewers)

[504gks]

I get that, but under the circumstances, Carr was just as aware as all of us how ineffective the offense was in the second half and was trying to give all of himself to secure a win.

Was it a smart decision, personally? No. But Carr did it for the team and the fans because he wanted the win.

The fans have repaid all of his sacrifices with criticism because they simply don’t like him and would rather the team be led by a guy like Jameis Winston who has led the Browns to exactly 1 win despite all his histrionics and enthusiasm.

Carr will never be liked by this fan base, no matter what he does and he doesn’t deserve that. He’s giving everything he has and has received nothing in return from the fans but criticism and calls for his removal.

It’s a shame.

He's received $100 million dollars minimum to play a kids game. I'll hold the tears back for now...He didnt join the military

The think is we know the issues with this team and they still complain. One poster on the GameDay board made it clear we need offensive playmakers. Five deep.

That was me…. And we do

I feel some Saints fans are too hard on Derek Carr. Fact is, that dude gives his all on that field. He literally gave his body up trying to pick up a critical first down. At first I was just hoping that he just landed hard on the football but upon seeing the replay you knew it was something worse. Hope he's ok.

Love him or hate him, he went all out on that play. Much respect!

 

[Centmssaint1]

Wow!!! Hope the best for him. And I got facepalmed on the Gameday thread for saying him leaping and diving was stupid on his part. I said because of the potential for injury. And injury is what happened. Now the team is in real jeopardy of possibly losing out because he was their best chance at QB.

We were cooked with Carr. Now, we’re like the most burnt, well-done toast with either of the other two.

Rattler time 2.0

 

[Heathen Saint]

Carr was doomed to be a fan favorite here because he wasn't Brees. Many are now convinced a 4th round rookie that had to transfer after his softmore year to get a starter position because his first team signed a highscool kid they thought was better is the next Franchise qb. The future Franchise QB is not currently on the roster and likely won't be for 2 to 3 years yet.

Same sheete different year

Every rookie is the next Brees

Etc

The problem is he wasn't much better than Dalton.

He didn't need to dive for a 1st down there though, he could have just run out of bounds and then they all they had was about 1 yard to go on 3rd down.

There were two guys right in front of him. It’s hard to hindsight someone on making a quick decision like that.

Jake is definitely not the answer. I’d rather see Penning play QB. At least that would be funny. Spencer has the potential and talent to be a NFL Quarterback. I want to see him behind a healthy Oline for 4 games. That way I know if we have to draft one out of necessity

I seen 4 games of him already

Rattler time 2.0

I think we have to give it to Haener this time around.

 

[Infoman]

I seen 4 games of him already

And you saw flashes of what he has from a pure talent standpoint…. Smothered in with some of the worst line and skill position play imaginable. We need to see him behind a healthy oline… Which we have currently. If he looks the same…. No harm. Move on. Draft a QB.

 

[TenTwo]

I think it's safe to say, him missing any time is the unofficial end of this injury riddled season of disappointment

We have not seen Haener start a game. The play of the o line today really is terrible. What make you think Rattlers would play better than the 4 games he started.

To put into context with playing styles and our offensive coordinator:

I'd be willing to bet that Haener can be almost as good as Brock Purdy and can win within a system before I'd bet that Rattler is Jayden Daniels as a rookie and can win games on his own with subpar surrounding talent

Regardless, give Haener first shot at it. If he ain't it, fine. Put Rattler in.
