Carr Watch

Not sure who you're referring to, but @Leaky_Faucet hasn't been wrong about anything yet.

They said we'd be calling Carr today to talk money. That was the plan. Fitterer himself said so at his combine presser. We never got the chance though because the Saints sealed the deal last night and early this morning.

Our other recent insider went by The Crown and the Claw, I think. They predicted that Jeff Nixon was going to be the tight end coach. Turned out to be wrong, but they said afterwards that things changed. It happens. To my knowledge, they never said anything about Carr either way.

On a related note, it's kind of nice to have some insiders around here again so I'm sure many of us would appreciate if guys wouldn't be a--holes and run them off like has happened several times before.

(unfortunately, this thread makes me think that might be too much to ask) 

So, who is @Leaky_Faucet then? What is their main account. Why is it this random account is trusted here with you guys? Even though they're wrong?

[Krovvy]

Just the yearly cycle of Carolina Huddle insider makes predictions, gets it wrong, disappears.

I mean, let's say it was only David Newton. He was still right.

Not really.

Newton said we weren't interested. Multiple other sources confirm we were. We just didn't land him. Not landing him isn't the same as not being interested.

I'd add that Newton is somebody I always take with a grain of salt unless someone else confirms what he's saying.

They weren't wrong. In fact, they've pretty much yet to get anything wrong. And they've said way more than what's been publicly reported.

Hence again why I'm hoping guys here aren't going to be a--holes and run them off, but unfortunately that seems like destiny here

We were so interested we let him go to our division rival. If he was a Jet right now I would be more inclined to believe it.

Okay, okay. I get it. Carr was the Panthers plan A, and they let him go to the Saints. Makes sense.

You think every free agent we lose out on is because we weren't interested? 

(I mean, it'd be nice if that were true)

Yeah, that's not how it works.

No, no, I get it now. The Panthers wanted Carr so much, that they lost out to a team with major holes, that's cap strapped, and doesn't have much in the way of draft capital. They also didn't throw a trade offer before free agency as well. Definitely Plan A, definitely.

So far the leaky faucet dude is sitting on a big 0-1 with his claims we were keen on signing Carr. There's no need to cape for wrong and possibly illegitimate sources.

I wonder who there main is. There's a reason posters here are going to bat for them.

You get that Derek Carr gets to choose where he wants to sign, right?

And here we go with the a--hole treatment again

He does, if a team doesn't trade for him, sure. He just wanted to be a Saint.

Who is calling them names or attacking them personally? Settle down lol.

And play again for the same coach he initially played for in Las Vegas.

(or Is that too rational to consider?)
