So Kellen Moore is smart. Go Saints
Taysom Hill QB-1 , Spencer Rattler 🐍 QB-2 and Derek Carr QB-3 on the New Orleans Saints ⚜️ facts 😮
Saints won 9 games with Carr (up in one that Winston lost) his first year, yet the ceiling is 9-10 wins? Rattler’s ceiling is what? After going 0-7? Lol. Make it make sense please.
Funny how trace can say Derek Carr is not the reason u win games or lose games but then in the same sentence says saints didn’t win one game without him
To be honest it sounds like the saints fans just want drew brees back nothing is going to be good enough for them
Kellen Moore has to know how this fanbase works. This fanbase, will eat you alive if you lose no matter the circumstances. He has to go win enough games to give a proof of concept and not have everyone calling for his job.
Carr is terrible smh
People have a real problem separating Derek Carr the person/player with the CONTRACT that the Saints offered him. There's nothing that has ever indicated that he's a negative person or presence in any way. As a player every game was a steep uphill battle other than the first two, and we won exactly zero games without him under center. The Derek Carr hate is unhinged nonsense, plain and simple. If you want to state that his contract is way overvalued, then yes I agree.
Carrdashians are still stat watching in these comments. Carr had a 5-5 record last year and we went 0-7 without him. We went 0-7 without him because we were starting an inexperienced rookie qb behind a bad o line and practice squad weapons and 6 of those 7 losses came against playoff teams. People are still saying that carr succeeded cause of his stats. His stats don’t tell the whole story. We also had the 19th ranked scoring defense in points per game last year. How is it that Carr has top 10 stats but he doesn’t have an above .500 record with a mid tier defense? We all watched the games. Carr looked good mostly the first 2 weeks but then looked sometimes mid and sometimes above average after that. All Carr’s 5 wins this year are against teams with losing records. When he plays against better teams, he crumbles and doesn’t put up good numbers or good scoring. And Carr lost to the panthers as well this year. He needed the defense to close out the game against Carolina when any actual good qb would have blown Carolina out
I can’t wait to hear Carrdashians blame the defense, coaching, the OL, etc. again this year and how it is not his fault at all. I can’t wait to hear Carrdashians be delusional again. They don’t wanna hear facts and call it hate
I think they can be competitive if they can stay healthy and get some pieces on defense! O-line played decent last year/Kamara can have another decent year/Carr to Olave/Shaheed and MVS looks promising.
Seat him o. The bench! The organization did it to Jameis! Without giving him a full year like they gVe Carr.
Yes!!!! Thank God
This era of the Saints is just as bad as the Aints period fans should just boycott the team until real change happens
Derek Carr= Saints are ass.
Jamaes how dare you forget to put me in at QB5?? I gotta be better than haener
I gotta be 💯
You say Carr is best quarterback on the team played out of his mind last year BUT the reason he should not be the starter is a FEELING make it make sense like is the goal a quarterback that’s cheap (aka a rookie) so you don’t have to pay heavy into the position and instead pay into others, or knocking out all contracts(most maybe) and just refreshing the roster like what’s the deal with rattler playing behind carr for a year and developing more it’s crazy you want to change things and it shows how “wishy washy” NO is (at least the fans)
Why two videos on the EXACT same subject?? Is there something new here?
The real crime here is that the F@#&*ing Trizzler has more followers than “THE FACE OF THE FRANCHISE”. I wouldn’t have even watched this video if you didn’t review it.

If he ain’t playing in the superbowl why does he need to be there his season is over get over it man was preaching the word of god in cali
Ok
Prove you are worthy to not be cut
I’m no longer going for the saints f this team. Mickey knows damn well we don’t want this MF. He knows damn well he’s been in the league long enough and still can’t win as a QB, I’m done bruh
See 6:07 if that was also for the comments bc Ik you were looking that’s a given the fans are loyal as shit I was mainly talking about the cut everyone an blow it all up an everything that the haters an bay sayers say the saints should do we are not a bottom of the barrel franchise some people took what I said the wrong way I’m talking about how they construct the roster an they dont run the team like that they are built tough
I’m Die 🖤 Fan But I Might Take This Year Off
You are nuts if you think Carr is the biggest problem with the team
The face of the franchise has turned to the dark side. 😵💫😁
Derek pops is ill from my understanding. Don’t blame him for going invisible tbh.
15:13 see I think he is a good player to have in the locker room he’s just not what we need but he was never supposed to be our guy tho that’s the thing especially with how he’s acted the last couple months after the season it’s like he played nice until he had to an then was like piss off or I ain’t going to that an just acting snobby an that’s what runs me the wrong way
I'm glad Carr is returning! I think he will light it up if we can have a run game. i.e., jeanty.
It’s like waiting on that package to come in an getting the notification saying will be late or it just dont come in when you thought it would
Carr like a 79 rating out of 100. He need to at least get to a 84
Another bad decision, i don't think moore had much to do with this either, more front office politics, did they do some kind of crazy restructure?chance at a fresh start rattler just as good and stronger arm than carr cheaper with a draft coming up too yet you bring him back? Smh not good, hope we draft really well for the future and start putting pieces together now
Best QB the Saints could have got.
Stop listen to these dumbs ass YouTuber bruh time bout he was at saints games and they sold out no the fucc they didn’t easy research would tell you that. But he knows yall won’t go and look your self we didn’t sell out one game last year at all 3k plus empty seats and it will be worse this year
I’m glad he’s back!
Carr is a great QB
They would be to almost full capacity let’s just say that. But the saints never sell out games ever
Derek needs to be rolling on the river it’s going to be a bad moon rising since they are holding on to him, he definitely needs to feel fortunate son.
Dear fellow Saints fans. Carr is not a bad QB. He’s better than you think he is. Is he going to wow you with scrambling ability like Allen or Jackson? No, but he is talented and can make every throw. Just like any QB, he can struggle when being pressured. EVERY QB struggles without protection. Did you forget what “Magic Maholmes” looked like in the SB? Let’s chill on hoping for drafting the best QB in the league. I’m excited to see Carr and the team next season. Baring injury, things could be pretty fun.
Yes thank god best decision saints made so far this off season. Only idiots are mad
Speak for your self more fans want Carr then don’t want him
Dude almost won the division in 2023. I don’t like him but oh well
Quit buying tickets
Man… Derek needs to get out of that city asap before they witch hunt him down. That fan base is so toxic, please get out for your own sake. You can win elsewhere without giving that fan base a run for a SB.
