I'll say this about Brees/Carr. I really liked Brees as a player when he was with San Diego. I thought he was very underrated and was ecstatic to get him when we did. I feel the exact same way about Carr. That said, I don't think Brees was the same player after he came to us. I believe the injury and the way San Diego cast him off solidified his resolve and focus and really drove him to dedicate himself to proving himself. Brees had all the skills & capability just like Carr does, but it took that shock of fear to really turn him into a HoF caliber QB. With Carr I see a lot of the same traits that I did with Brees and that's why I have a lot of hope that he can be very good for our team as well. But the elephant in the room is that Brees also had Payton to support him and I have yet to see Allen & PC bring anywhere close to that level of coaching. I do have hope and I believe Carr is MUCH better than what we've had since Drew left, but I also question whether we have the right support from a coaching standpoint to allow Carr to realize a similar level of success.
