Wonder if the Saints knew this and still passed on Shedeur 4 times?

The Saints are really going to suck this season, but I never thought Carr was that great anyway and he clearly wasn’t the answer for the Saints. But the Saints will have either Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shough starting at QB this season, yikes.

The Carr brothers are the Temu version of the Manning brothers.

Lol the carr brothers needn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the mannings

Really? I wonder if it occurred to people that personnel departments didn't see Shedeur as a high end prospect. Could that possibly be the case and not some conspiracy?

This makes no sense. Carr is still good enough to play. Why would he retire over surgery.

I had to look back at my thoughts on the Saints getting him in the first place.

Best I can tell, when Derek Carr has Darren Waller then he is about the 10th best QB in the league and without him he is about the 18th best QB in the league.

I believe that going from Gruden to McDaniel hurt him but...man...I think its Waller. Id be very skeptical of him moving the needle for anyone outside of the Jets
I think in some ways I was a bit too low on Carr. He was 17th in QBR his first season on the Saints and 13th in QBR in 2024 before getting hurt. I think he is really close to being a league average QB just as a whole. It kinda seems like he could come back at age 35 in 2026 and still be a factor for a good team.

Carr was always just adequate and average IMO, not a bad QB by any means but he would never lead a team deep in the playoffs. He can keep a team afloat and put up decent numbers but he’s not going to make a team a contender or be a top tier QB.
