Where do you rank Carr as far as NFC quarterbacks?

It puts into perspective how horrible the NFC is. Doesn't matter where he places on that list. It's a horrible division right now for QBs. Come playoff time he'll get bounced 1 and done every year once he meets up with better defenses.

I also can about guarantee our defense will not be as good as this board thinks this coming season. 1 year too late.

When Dalton went against Cousins

Dalton 20/28 236 8.4 1 0 108.6

Cousins 25/38 273 7.2 1 1 84.7

So Red Rifle outperformed Cousins and Carr this year head to head by a pretty good margin. Why everyone wanted him gone so bad?

No doubt. Which is why getting Carr was a smart move with the current NFC landscape. May not have been as prudent in other years. But just get into the playoffs and you have a chance of getting hot and going on New York Giants (Eli) type run. Certainly unlikely, but at least possible. And it wouldn’t have been with Dalton.

Maybe. It’s possible Cam, Davis, and Tyrann regress significantly. But if they give us anywhere near what they did last year, I don’t see why we’d not field a good defense. You’ve got to expect corner to be a lot better with Taylor coming into his 2nd year, Adebo with another year of development (I really think his camp injury bothered him all season—he was the star of it before he got hurt), and assuming we get a healthy Lattimore.

Could add a safety in the draft, but you have to think Maye will be healthier and better (or at least not worse). Kaden Ellis looks like a beast at LB, and Werner was playing great before he got hurt.

We’re losing Davenport, who’s great when he plays, but never does, so not really gonna miss much production from him. Hopefully Turner figures it out and gets healthy, but he had almost no
production last year, so anything he gives us this year is just a bonus. DT is really the only glaring hole on defense, but the way Carr’s contract is structured we’ve got a little over $20 million in cap space if we want to use it. Should be plenty to address DT, and then we can supplement with BPA in the draft.

You may be right and the defense may take a big step back, but I don’t think there’s any reason to assume that happens unless we’re plagued by injuries or our vets just fall off a cliff.

Murray wasn’t very good last year.

He had a Oline decimated by injuries and then tore his ACL. He was a pro bowler the two years prior.

We’ve held Brady to similar point scored but we’re not shitting on him? Lol

Ranking could mean a lot of different things.

How would a list look if you ranked:

you need one win.
you play the most games
you win the most
you win /go to the most playoffs
best value
best for Saints

Carr is around 6th for me.

honestly, I think its Hurts right now, then everyone else.

Even the bigger names are guys on the decline. There doesnt seem to be a clear pecking order.

For now, Hurts is really the only QB worth noting in the NFC for the next five years. And his health will be volatile given his playing style

The rest are all jumbled together. Carr with CSP would be contenders. With Allen, let’s just start by setting our sights on the division

Finally, someone with logic on this board.


You’ll see most analysts, who aren’t exactly huge fans of Carr, admit he’s in that Dak, Cousins tier.
