Polarized quarterback discourse is common in the NFL. Those that spectate and those that pontificate tend to fall victim to the extremes when it comes to the position. Often times a player is referred to as either “good” or “bad” without much nuance included in the conversation.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is not immune to this environment. He faced it in both Oakland and Las Vegas during his time with the Raiders and has not evaded the situation in New Orleans.
While they open the year against the Panthers, they will then compete with teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs early. They will also travel to take on the new-look Falcons with newly-signed quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Those early challenges will make it all the more impactful if Carr and the Saints offense can pick up with the momentum that closed out 2023.
