Saints could be making a move for Carr

Carr to the Saints doesnt really scare me all that much, feels like a bandaid on a really rough situation. We need to get a QB regardless but i'd be more worried if the saints wanted to lean into being bad. 

Ideally the Bucs, and Saints try and stay competitive for a bit longer giving us a bigger head start before they finally realize they need to tear it down.

this does not make me happy.

don't want him in the division unless he's with us and i only want him with us if we can't get a legit starter out of the draft.

he's not a star, but he's as solid a QB as they come and will likely be the best available vet QB this year (assuming Rodgers retires). 

carr would easily become the best QB in the division and it's not even close.

This.  I don't get people wanting him to go to the Saints.  The dude can fuging play.  We need to go get him, period, regardless of what happens in the draft.  If anyone else in the division gets him, especially the Saints, they immediately become the division favorite.

I haven't seen anything to suggest that they're not. I could be wrong though.

The Athletic's Josh Kendall believes it is unclear if the Falcons will stick with Desmond Ridder as their starting quarterback because "no one inside the building is talking."

It's not exactly a ringing endorsement of Ridder's first four NFL starts that it is an open discussion. But the Falcons, picking eighth in the draft, don't appear likely to land a franchise quarterback without trading up. The Falcons continue to play things close to the vest under Arthur Smith, who is quoted as saying in the piece: “I know everybody wants to know everything right now, but there are a lot of moving parts to it. I don’t think it’s smart business strategy ever to give away what your plan is." We'd guess the Falcons will try to add veteran help at the position, but whether it is a challenger to Ridder or someone who outright is the starter is behind the Arthur Smith curtain.

Unclear. Got it.

 

Edit: But it does appear that the subtext here is indicating they'll try to bring in QB competition.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
