That Derek Carr Contract is Looking Pretty Brilliant Now (1 Viewer)

[St. Widge]

Honestly Carr is not a long term solution. We should try to go after a free agent QB in the off-season. Would you trade two firsts for Joe Burrow if he requests to leave after he possibly loses to Baltimore twice again and misses the playoffs? Or how about Trevor Lawrence?

Lawrence is no better than Carr and probably worse. And Cicny isn't going to trade Burrow. He's their entire team and marketing department. I also doubt there is going to be a free agent QB out there that is better than Carr. He's not great, but he's a solid mid-level QB that can play above that level at times and is good enough to win with the right team around him.

They just need to keep developing Rattler and Haener in hopes that one turns into a good starter and keep looking for QBs in the draft. Carr is currently the least of our problems, but sure we would like to have a better QB in the future.

The only way you get a better QB than Carr is to draft one.
We’re actually lucky he was a free agent. He’s 33 years old. It’s not like we’re going to sign him to a 10 year extension. He’s our QB this year and next year. We need to hope that in that time Rattler develops. Otherwise we have to start looking at the draft.

Be happy we didn’t get Deshaun Watson.

on a tipped pass, it's not like it was a bonehead throw.

it was a sidearm bone headed throw, should have grounded it

Agree. It only works for Mahomes.

Brock Purdy came close. I would absolutely consider him a mid QB.

Close is not enough to beat Mahomes, and the Niners are more talented with a better coach than us.

No

Any Raiders fan who comes over here just to tell us how bad Carr was has a serious problem. It would be like me posting on a Broncos message board about Sean Payton. I like my QBs better than yours. Have fun with Minshew and O’Connell.

Trust me, I’m not a fan of either of the three. I’m wanting Cam Ward in 2025. I’m just bracing you for what I saw for nine years.

He LITERALLY drove us down the field and took the lead with a min left.

What's he gotta do to get some respect? Play SAFETY too?

Maybe we should make DC the DC. Because the current one keeps having his group lose close games at the very end.

You act like Carr hasn't been on our team for a year and a half already. You don't have to warn us about anything. Good luck with your future quarterback draft picks.

The Carr Wars rages on.

I definitely did not want Watson. I did want Wilson though. But I didn't know he would fall off that much.

 

[kcirdor]

Kind of surprised(but not really) at all the hate Carr is getting for Judon making a play.

Carr is not the reason we've lost either game.

I mean yeah we need weapons and more OL. Olave/Shaheed could be upgraded or Johnson needs to be replaced. I'm not high on Johnson who is not even better than the TE who shall not be named was.

They are all overpaid except for Mahommes.... hopefully this will be the last contract Carr signs with the Saints...
