I don’t think we were seriously interested in him at anywhere near the price he ultimately got. I think we were set on drafting a QB from day 1 of the offseason

Well day 1 of this off-season. Would’ve been nice to have that kind of conviction earlier and give up less for Herbert or stop winning meaningless games.

But Tepper sure is like hell trying to get that ‘good job’ from fans that he figured it all out despite most of it already being known, by even the biggest idiot arm chair owners on this forum.

Nevertheless it is finally happening the right way and way fans with a clue have been screaming about for 5/6 years while the franchise looked for cheat codes.

Finally excited for a season.

It would have also been nice to have this kind of coaching staff when we had generational talents in Cam and Luke but that is neither here nor there. 

Tepper fuged up the first and second time around, first by trusting Hurney and second by trusting Rhule. He might have it figured out now in a shorter time than it has taken some owners.

I'm just glad we finally bit the bullet and understood that if you get spurned by the guys you actually want in FA, settling for second and third tier guys isn't a path to success. You gotta bite the bullet and draft a guy.

Carr was never worth what he got paid. These FA contracts are getting ridiculous.

Not even close!

 

I can't help it was the same 3 posters quoting me everyday about Lamar Jackson. Seems like the Lamar fetish was with other users.

 

I clearly said I would be fine with 3 options Lamar/Rodgers/Draft rookie top 4 QB's. For some reason people got mad I was defending Lamar and it turned into a everyday thing.

 

They made it seem like I was Lamar or bust which wasn't the case at all.

The topic was always about team building, and we disagreed drastically, especially about Lamar and Rodgers. Its all good. The sad part in all of this is how severely Lamar has hurt himself by not getting an agent. Going for a rookie QB has always been the best option as long as we didn’t ridiculously overpay, which we didn’t. Now it’s just a matter of getting it right.

Carr was never worth discussion either. Still people was fighting hard for us to sign him.lol

 

9 years 1 playoff appearance. But it was his coaches and defense fault the entire 9 years. No other QB's gets this excuse. Saints enjoy that contract he's taking you nowhere of relevance.

I always thought it was worth discussing if the terms were favorable and it gave a rookie QB a chance to transition similar to what Mahomes did. They weren’t even close to favorable, so yeah, we’re better off with him in NO.

Hell, Carr was second tier.

So many on here wanted Carr it was pathetic.  You know who you are

Saints will be historically bad with him, they’ll bench him for Winston by Week 9

I wanted him for sure

But the cost was way too high.Yes I know who I am.Im not scared.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
