First you say it’s hard to draft a quarterback and now you’re like there are great QB classes every year lol. No they’re not man. You can’t spin it both ways.

1) It is hard to find a QB.
2) Every QB class is hyped.

Last year was a “great class” with Young, Stroud, Richardson and Levis. This year is a “great class” with Williams, Daniels and Maye. Next year will be a “great class” with one or two other guys. Truth is, only one of those QBs each year will succeed.

So let me get this straight you rather draft guys like Joe Alt, Trotter or Brock Bowers because in your eyes they’re less likely to bust than a rookie qb. You act like any rookie qb we draft will be shitty but if you draft any other guys that are not qbs- they can’t be shitty??? Its like you’ll take a risk with a highly touted TE but you won’t with a QB? Like wtf is your draft philosophy???

I’m not moving up to draft a QB like it solves all my problems. If a top QB fell to the teens, then yes take him. But that’s not happening. So build the team up to give your future QB a chance to succeed.

Now you backtracked from all your examples. We’re 8-8. How is that any different than the eagles, bills or ravens being 9-7 and drafting a qb??? Did Hurts, Allen or Lamar drown in aging talent.

This team is old and going to get worse before it gets better. Get your guys like Lane Johnson, Travis Kielce, T. Hill, etc in place before going all in on a QB.

Again, drafting a QB isn’t a magic bullet. You need a QB. But a QB with no offensive line, no WRs, no defense, isn’t going to do anything but get hurt.

Saints aren’t going anywhere next year and a rookie QB gets killed behind this offensive line. That’s why I don’t want a QB this year unless a great one falls to us, which isn’t likely to happen. Now if a guy like Penix or McCarthy or Cam Ward are there in a later round, I’m okay taking one there. But Carr isn’t going anywhere next year and trading future picks for a lottery ticket doesn’t solve our problems.
