What big games, hasn’t Carr played in just one playoff game?

Exactly, he can't get them there 

[weepaws 2,452]

He’s been playing for a horrible organization. Surrounded with more talent, and a stronger supportive organization, I think Carr can be a Qb that can help a team be a playoff team.  

But he’s no first ballet HOF.

Derek Carr is a first ballot Average Quarterback.

NY would kind of shock me. That's a lot of pressure for someone who doesn't handle pressure well.

assuming Matt Ryan and Tom Brady both retire, Carr would rank 3rd in the NFL among active QB's in game winning drives.   

To me that doesnt feel like a QB who caves under pressure.   just sayin.

You're right, let me rephrase that, he's very sensitive, always has been. Can he handle the NY media if things go south? I'm not sure, we'll see.

The pressure of playing for the Jets would be something Carr would have to deal with, but if think that’s the best landing spot for him.

Nobody in NY has a Carr; he'll end up on the taxi squad.

I am surprised the Saints actually can pay him.

I'm pretty sure they still have cap problems big time.

They just renegotiated Taysom Hills contract and paid him a signing bonus to free up cap space.  And also with another player who's name I can't remember.

last I checked they were over the cap by a significant margin. 

you are saying these moves makeup for all that AND his salary.

I feel like I am missing something here.

Good for Olave owners.

I have him on my dynasty team!

So much better than Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston!

I was thinking about trading him but now I'll probably keep him

I think he is only making 1.5 million base salary this year, with his signing bonus spread over the 4 years...

[League Champion 1,593]

Derek Carr has a career record of 63-79 in his career.

He's ok, let's not get carried away.

I'm not saying these moves make up for all of that and his salary.  I'm with you.  I'm surprised they're able to sign him for this amount.  I don't know how.  Not going to worry about it though.

No.  its not our problem.

all we do is look at the moves and try to figure out which players will be fantasy studs and fantasy duds.

Derek Carr just guaranteed that he will be able to play well into his 70's by signing with the Saints. We all know that Taysom will make sure of it. What other team does the fourth string QB have more plays under center than the healthy #1?

2023 Stats for Taysom......

2,000 yards rushing

2,000 yards passing

2,000 yards passing to himself
