00:00Derek Carr is going to the New Orleans Saints in the 2023 NFL offseason in the Saints

00:05Then become the odds-on favorite the frontrunner to win

00:09The NFC South was not a great 2023 and through a lot of 2024 poor play from Derek Carr

00:15But also injuries a part of that conversation there

00:19You see the stats this past year for car 15 touchdowns the five

00:24Ints and only ten games played we all forget that New Orleans was the best offense in the NFL

00:30The opening two Sundays of the year one thing that will always be funny to me Joe

00:36And we can do this as you reflect on a season and you get deeper into the year and you have those sweeping

00:42Reactions and takeaways as we always do even though we warn ourselves from doing so in the first few weekends of the NFL

00:49Week number three the Eagles start off one and one they head to the Saints who are an offensive juggernaut

00:55Who had scored at least 40 points at each of their first two games?

00:5991 in total in the Saints in New Orleans mind you but the Saints in that week three matchup against Philly

01:06We're a two and a half point home favorite for a five-win football team against the eventual

01:12Super Bowl champs all to say that

01:15They got off to a great start this year, but obviously things did not work out Joe you mentioned

01:22Do you think it would be wise for Kellen Moore and New Orleans to bring back Derek Carr?

01:27Do you think that is the eventual decision that is made?

01:30Well until you're offered up a reason not to keep Derek Carr, right Ben

01:37What what it's your option here?

01:39Keep are you just maybe he loves Taysom Hill and maybe Taysom Hill is gonna be your quarterback moving forward at which point they seek

01:47A trade or or you know, let Derek Carr

01:50Open on the market to see what they can get for him

01:53I think there are you know an aging quarterback with an aging defense? No salary cap

02:00I mean there's it's not a lot the Saints can do but one thing they can do is start shedding some salary and hopefully

02:07Be able to get some assets back and the guy that would bring the most of course is Derek Carr

02:12And I think maybe that's why they're so non-committal. I'll forget to taste some hills on this roster here, man

02:18So it's not like he can't play quarterback
