To be clear I'm a Saints fan but we're in mediocrity purgatory---decent enough to avoid top pics, but not good enough to have winning seasons or playoffs. Playsoffs??! Playoffs?!!
Signing Carr was proof that this team has an issue with who they want at QB. It's beyond obvious now that they're kind of uncomfortable with Jamie as their main guy and were impatient with his ability to pick things up.
I followed the Raiders for a little bit. After they got Davante Adams from the Packers and along with Hunter Renfrow, a decent O line and all pro RB in J Jacobs were supposed to be at the Championship game atleast.
Derek Carr is dogshyt! A Cockier Kirk Cousins with slightly more bible thumping. There were articles literally showing that they had to reduce the playbook to one side of the field because this dude can't process the whole field quick enough.
Somehow the saints thought THIS guy is the future? not try to move up and draft/develop a QB? Same franchise that thought smart to keep Dennis Allen/Carmichael previous Quality Control guy for the Chargers.
That was the decision of the "genius" who drafted him when he "coached" the Raiders and specifically wanted him to be "the guy" here in N.O.:
Dennis ALLen a.K.A. Stinky Peterson from Hey Arnold
