Even still, Carr this season has a better passer rating, td%, int%, and yds/att than Brees had in any of that 3-year stretch.

Now to be fair, brees had full seasons of stats and Carr isn't done.

Agreed this is on Loomis. But why even waste money on Carr when hes not helping you win and still hurting your cap. Just walk away. There was no reason for us to sign Carr and then extend him as well. It was ill advised on many fronts.


There’s no point arguing with people like you. You’re utterly convinced Carr is the main problem when the reality is he’s a middling QB, paid like a middling QB, who’s helping keep the team afloat.

2025 has about 25% of the Cap tied up in players who won’t be playing again. Guess what? The Saints aren’t going to be winning anything that year either.

In 2026 you can start to actual rebuild the roster. Thats Carr’s last season with a big cap hit and they’re no longer carrying around a ton of literal dead weight.

Again why I say your reliance on stats is blinding you to how good Carr really is. Even you know this is an absolute bad comparison. Even in those years, anyone will tell you Brees was a much better quarterback.

The thing with Carr is hes always been great stats guy for the past ten years. But hes not a winner- never has been. At some point after ten years of this- you can’t constantly say well its not Carr’s fault that for the past 10 years with two different franchises its the players around him that have failed him.

The Raiders have made the playoffs 5 times since 1993 (That’s 30 years). 2 of those were with Derek Carr at QB.

Your argument is so lazy it’s kind of sad.

Imagine blaming Carr because the Saints have over $40 mil tied up in players that are no longer on the roster.


I explicitly stated I do not blame Carr. And you just unknowingly described the issue of giving him the huge contact AND reworking his contract. That is why his cap hit is the monstrosity that it is

People “like me.” Lol ok.

Why are we paying a middling QB to keep the team afloat where they cant make the playoffs or get a high pick?

I get all that but you really think Loomis and DA signed Carr to be a middling QB- that was the plan all along? That hey lets waste money on a guy who can’t take us anywhere. And then lets extend that same guy, play middling football, and reset in 2026. You think is the master plan?

Or what really happened is they got fooled by Carr’s stats with the Raiders, thought they could win with him by turning his career around, and they just continue what they had with Payton and Brees- and that all went to shite.

Not sure you understand how difficult it is to maintain the ratio stats Brees did from 14-16, given the volume. He had 1,959 pass attempts and posted a TD% of 5.2 and Int% of 2.2… 69.2% completion, 99.9 rating, 7.7 Y/A. His defenses were 28th, 32nd and 31st in the league.

Carr has 211 pass attempts please don’t ever mention Brees and Carr in the same sentence

Where does Carrs defense rank this season?

ETA... and again, I don't think Carr is on Brees' level. I can at least recognize and admit Carr is having a great season. I try not to let my feelings override my judgement.

Also, do you think if brees lost Colston and cook it would've affected him?

The playoffs aren’t out of reach yet. Have you seen the other teams in this division?

It all went to shite because the Saints had a head coach with a .329 winning percentage.

So, again, rather than just slinging shite at the QB who’s about 15th on the list of reasons why the Saints have struggled, maybe look just a little bit deeper.

Hows that working for them?

Carr chose to sign with DA knowing this. He was fired when Carr worked with him before. Last year I heard it was Carmicheals fault now its DA. Man “people like you” will blame everyone but Carr for winning wont you? Maybe stop looking so deep and just look at the fact in his ten years Carr has never won anywhere.

Great season? Ok man this is where you lose most people. So you think Carr should make the pro bowl and all pro teams then?

Carr had the 8th ranked defense last season and the easiest strength of schedule in the league. We yielded 19.2 ppg.

In Carr’s 8 starts this season, we have yielded 18.75 ppg.


And again, I don’t think Carr is having a “bad” season. It’s a Carr season. Ride the high of the first two games, shite the bed the next two. shite the bed vs Car. Squeak by ATL, light up CLE. Acknowledge the full body of work if you want to give an honest assessment.

Buddy, Carr is 13-12 here.

We went 9-8 with Jameis, Simien, Taysom, and Book throwing to Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harty, Trequan and Trautman. Read that closely

Brees and Taysom went 12-4 with Alvin Kamara as the leading WR in 202

That’s because he got hurt in 2016 smoothbrain.

They still made the playoffs with a 12-4 record. Carr was 12-3.

So you’re saying in around the ten years of football he lost a wildcard and didn’t play in the playoffs another year because of injury- and thats your reasoning hes a winning QB? You can call me all the names you want but thats an absolutely ridiculous statement.

He was playing for a franchise that has been to the playoffs 5 times in 30 years.

Excuse number 145 for why Carr hasn’t won. Not Carr’s fault ever. The Carr apologists never stop.
