Agreed. Seeking his best deal by playing the angles doesn’t make him a bitch. Teams have no problem fricking over individual players if it serves their interests…

The dude was receiving death threats and his family is hated. He tried embracing the city and he was hit with nothing but hate. Something is really wrong with you if you think him not being here during Super Bowl is an issue. His family comes first.

You need to research what elite QBs make these days and come back. Carr got paid mid-tier monies


He’s actually making one of the lowest salaries for a starting qb that’s not on a rookie deal. Now after this offseason, Wilson and Fields will be making less than him. But he’s near the bottom.

We don’t have a Carr problem. It’s a Loomis problem. Loomis had no business going deeper in the salary cap hole to bail out his horrible pick for head coach and then he doubled down.

Him and Griff have run these teams in the ground

Working Superbowl week is about self promotion not leadership.

I still don’t understand what being in New Orleans during SB week proves. Over 50 players , how many were front and center? Yet I only hear Carr singled out.

So every year we expect players to be front and center during the SB when their team is not playing…..

I’m not a Carr fan but I simply don’t like his play or attitude on the field.

This certainly gets overblown and out of the reasons to dislike Carr this ain't one i particularly care about. But you are the face of the organization and the highest paid. The expectations are completely different at the QB position. You are kinda expected to be a public figure of sorts. Fair or not

If it had anything to do with promoting the team then I'd agree but radio row is about making the rounds to launch your future media career like Cam or getting some bucks to promote a product.

Fair enough.

I just kinda view the QB as a spokesman/ambassador for the team in a way. I've even heard some owners kinda say the same thing...in particular Jerry Richardson. He didn't want Cam to get tats or piercings but was fine if other did it. He viewed the QB position as a higher standard.

I'm not saying Carr really needs to be everywhere like Drew was. But he is almost nowhere. People will question the dedication

Drew was there in a Crown Royal letter jacket cause he's dedicated to his money.

Tom Brady had Troy Brown as one of his WR’s for a few years. He almost never had a superstar to throw to with the exception of a few years when he had Moss. It didn’t matter who his receivers were. He still won. Carr is below average at best.

Our Saints program is not in good hands, period.

I’d trade him right now for a used washing machine. That guy is a pussy bitch and his shitty energy just casts a cloud over the rest of the players. Let Rattler suck arse or draft Dart but not at 9. If they traded back 5-6 spots and picked up a 2nd or 3rd then I would happily do it.

I don't blame him for seeking a trade.

Our offensive depth is trash and he'll be on his 3rd coordinator in 3 years here, and it's a 37 year old first time head coach.

He doesn't fit our timeline. Even with the saints not jettisoning players, some of these guys just won't be here anyways due to retiring (Mathieu, cam, demario) in 2-3 years.

Mickey wants to remain competitive but I would bet a lot of money we trade up for Shadeur or Cam

The closest thing we have to that is Cam Jordan and Kamara… it doesn’t have to be the QB if he’s mid

he's pathetic.

I've never seen a QB who has done so little with the constant need to have his ego stroked.

I hated the signing from the beginning.

DA/Carr as a head coach QB combo is about as fun as watching paint dry.

If Carr doesn't want to be here anymore then they need to find a way to get him out the door.

If not then he needs to stop being a whiny bitch!

He doesn’t want to be here. When has a QB who wants out ever been productive for his employer?

Season ticket holders who paid thousands to watch the upcoming shite show have my sympathy.
