You aren't signing Carr then drafting a first round QB in 2023.

He's 32 in March - he gives you 4 years of high level play to find your franchise QB. It's a no brainer if he's interested.

Agree. If Reich ends up being the guy, Carr would be our Alex Smith. 3 years or so to right the ship and then we make a big reach for a QB down the road.

I’m not exactly sure how I feel about this. I think he’s a guy who could be a high level starter for another 2-3 years. Would you draft a raw Richardson to sit behind him or would you move towards another position of need? Next year’s crop of QB’s are good as well. Hence why I’m not exactly sure where I am with all of this.

REALLY good.  I'm down with a 2-year rental.  I'd rather go a cheaper route though, Minshew.

Yeah, I see this point, but Carr would not be the franchise QB--he would be the bridge--I get the feeling that they would still be in the market for a young QB this year or next.

And maybe they think they can get Darnold (if they re-sign him) playing at a decent level---I dunno.

I still think we draft a Young QB this year.

However, signing Carr and keeping your draft picks is a bit appealing---considering who we'd end up with at #9.

In Vegas, Carr had the weapons but did not have much of an OL.

With a Carr and this staff, I could see us drafting next year in the 16-24 range. Or we better be if we are dropping $40 million on a QB.

Anyway, how are we getting from 16+ to #1 overall? Especially when 9x out of 10 the #1 pick needs a QB and ain't budging.

If we are drafting a QB, if we want to trade up and want our pick of the class, this is the only year to do that. Otherwise we are moving up to 8-10 to grab someone that falls. I really, really do not see us picking in the top 10 next year.

A big part of me thinks this is Carolina  returning the favor that happened with them coming in and driving up the Watson stuff.  I'm pretty sure  the more we drive his price up, the less the Saints have to spend. Who knows but interested to see how this shakes out.

Wait why do we have to get to #1

And I’d bet Tampa ends up with that #1 pick and Caleb Williams next year. They’re going to be bad.

I don’t want Carr at all. Would rather go draft, but if the panthers bring him in, I hope it works. I doubt it, though.

I hear two qb names over and over here for next year. If they maintain their trajectory they aren't falling to 8 or 10. And if we are taking the 3rd or 4th qb next year, and trading up to do so ?? I think I'd rather go to 1 this year. Seems asinine if that is what people are thinking.

This is not a positive breakdown of his last game. Seems like he's regressed to basically Sam/Baker quality. Bad footwork, panic throws, check downs when he should be taking shots down field..We've had enough of that the last couple years

Yup, and iirc, off the top of my head, I think Smith was only the starter in KC for a year or two prior to them drafting Mahomes and then started Mahomes' rookie season and then was traded.  And all due respect to Smith, but I think Carr is a much more complete QB and a lot more dynamic than Smith was.  It would be the ideal scenario, imo.

Yeah, but I just don't know what all tou can take from last season for him...  McDaniels is a poo coach, the organization is dysfunctional, and he has how many years of good tape before last season's debacle?  I don't think a QB just falls off a cliff like that at 32 barring injury.
