This isn't to crap on Carr

I get it. He is what he is. It's not his fault to an extent.

But if you told me before the season started

sign Jimmy to a whatever year deal it was with an easy out after 1

Or Carr to a 4 year and guaranteed year 2 restructure that kept him on this team for looking like 3-4 years based off a 1 year sample size

I would have rather signed Jimmy.

By week 6 Jimmy would have probably been on IR with out OL. Saints would have easily been top 10 in round 1...possibly top 5

After the restructure is finalized for Carr we aren't drafting a QB for at least 2 or possibly 3 more years

This year we might have had a chance at Jayden Daniels...no IMO for whatever that is worth not the QB Burrow is, will be, over the course of his career but an infinite upgrade to what we have or will have for years to come.

I am not a fan of Caleb or Drake personaly...but even in that spot with a team that is...you pocket 2-3 firsts plus additional capital to move out of that position for a team needing a QB...what is more valuable to the Saints right now? Carr or Daniels? Carr or multiple early day assets...

Well kind of but not really. Ideally you want a QB to wait a year to adjust. Some QBs can come in and play and some can’t.

Restructuring only buys Carr 2025. We’d be able to cut him after ‘24 with a low penalty now. After restructure it would be after ‘25, according to the article I read on it.

So you could draft a QB now (if one drops that you like) and sit him year 1. Then play him in 2025 and let Carr mentor him (despite what some of you think about Carr’s ability, he’s a good dude who’s been in the NFL for a long time) or draft one in ‘25 and let him go in ‘26.

The main issue is Loomis is ridiculous and just needs to stop punting money down the line. Both quantity and frequency.
