The restructure means a trade can't happen because all the money pushed forward would go into this year. Carr is going no where.

You can never get enough Boobie.
All boobies that are primo are expensive.
there are many on this board that can attest to that.

Got roasted on this board when I said we should not sign him and that it would be a huge mistake. It is like Loomis and this board has not watched him play. We paid a fortune for a mediocre at best QB. Bucs fared better by not paying top dollar and signing a mediocre QB.

LSU can fix the traffic problem. I have been to stadiums all over the SEC. Ole Miss handles it best. They have shuttles that take people to the outer lots. If LSU wanted to they could fix the problem. They could have large number of buses that shuttle people. Shuttles could go from the stadium to Tigerland, Cow palace, Lod Cook, and possibly hotels on College. The key to making the traffic problem go away is getting people off campus en masse faster. They will never spend the money.

He is a well respected coach with little to no experience calling defensive plays on his own at a professional level. I believe that if given the right personnel he will thrive. I have less faith the front office is good enough to provide the talent needed through the draft.

One reason - President Kamala Harris
The new way to ensure you don't get impeached is to make your VP horrible.

I keep reading how he is mocked to go in the top 10. Last year Willis was mocked in the top 10 along with Ridder. Mock drafts do not mean anything. It would not surprise me if Richardson goes in the 3rd or 4th round. That is what the tape says. People keep saying you have to take him because his is so athletic. Well the tape shows he is athletic. It also shows him throwing to the other team way to often.

I agree with Saint EB's assessment. The defense is too good, the Saints personnel dept to good, and the division is too bad to finish in top 5. I still think avoiding the high cost free agent QB for one year is the way to go. It will put us in a better position next year to not have to add voidable years. Some of these players that have voidable years added will have performance decline and we will be sitting on more dead money. We need to bite the bullet for a year IMO. That was the point of the post.

Is it likely that Loomis and company do this - NO. Probably Hell no. I still think this is the prudent move for the long term.

I never stated there were no good QBS drafted after the top 10. I said most of the current top QBS were drafted in the top 10. Since we will not likely be in the top 10 we will need to try our luck drafting a sleeper. Hooker could be the answer. Maybe Richardson falls. regardless - AVOID the free agent QB unless you are looking for a back up like Bridgewater.

"Top 10:

Lawerence
Z Wilson
Lance

Burrow
Tua
Hebert

Murray
D Jones

Baker
Darnold
J Allen
Josh Rosen

Trubisky
Mahomes

Goff
Wentz

Winston
Mariota

5 out of 18 since 2015 considered Studs. Not a good track record and definitely not "most"."

I said most of the top QBS were drafted in the top 10 not all QBS drafted in the top 10 were locks to be all pro. True most starting NFL QBS were not drafted in the top 10. Most of the ones drafted outside the top 10 are mediocre with a few exceptions. If you look at the QB position as a whole - low number of hits versus misses.

I still think we need to draft a QB outside the top 10 because there are no assurances we will ever be in the top 10. Can we get under the cap. Sure we can restructure contracts and add voidable years and keep having this conversation. My point which many seem to miss is - NO free agent QB is leading us to the Super Bowl. so why spend the money. Instead draft QBs until you hit on one and ride Taysom. He is not the permanent solution but neither are any free agents.
