And drafted a rookie qb like Hooker, or simply tank if it didnt work out and go after a qb in 2024. Would've been easily the best play. Helps the cap, etc. If it works out you make the playoffs in a bad division then upgrade at qb next year.

Too bad we didn't have a qb like that, let's say 29 years old, familiar with the system we run. Won here more than he lost, big arm, great teammate.

Too bad we never had that choice.

Theres no qb out there better than Dalton/Winston that will take a 1 yr prove it deal. Outside the AK suspension, we are built to win now if we stay healthy.

Don't be surprised when the Saints are on the clock at pick 71 if Hooker is on the board the Saints pick him.

Are we though? Our O line is pretty meh, our defense is aging on the back end, our line is getting thinner. I guess it depends on what you mean by winning now.

this team is too good to tank, especially when you consider the division. We would have still backed our way into 7 wins with our roster

We will put you down in the "they should have tanked category" when they still have a good roster.

Saints management decided to go the "we still have a good enough roster and need the best qb we can get category"

Hopefully your dead wrong and the Saints management made the right call.

If the Saints make the playoffs next year, will you still think they should have tanked? The tank makes me uneasy because there is zero guarantee you will return to form or that you will draft a good QB. Tons of drafted QB's flame out every year.

I'm of the opinion that if you think you can still win then you do everything possible to still win. This moves puts a very good NFL veteran QB under center for the Saints.

I hope I'm wrong too. Carr is a good qb, I'm just worried our ceiling is 1st round of the playoffs

Hasn't Winston signed like 3 "Prove It" deals? Has he ever "proved it"?

Bump.



Winston could have done the same shite Carr is doing for a fraction of the cost.

I’ve been calling for this for two years now after Brees retired. Woukd have saved us from giving that stupid extension to Winston.

Bridgewater, Baker Dalton, Minshew….

You’re not winning shite with Carr under center, especially with these coaches.
