“Optimism” Derek Carr Starts For Slimy Saints
September 30th, 2023
Saints QB Derek Carr.
There is a fun rule of thumb Joe follows on late Saturday nights and early on Sunday mornings.
Joe is often up anywhere until around 3 a.m. watching #PAC12AfterDark. Joe will miss that next year when there is no PAC-12.
Look, Joe is a football fan and Joe inhales as much football as possible even it means staying up until 3 a.m. watching West Coast ball. But another thing Joe does while watching #PAC12AfterDark is monitor the Twitter feeds of the likes of Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, among others, who are working their team and NFL sources trying to find out who will and won’t play on a given Sunday.
Such was the case last night when Rapoport claimed there is “optimism” that Derek Carr, the slimy Saints starting quarterback, will play Sunday.
Naturally, if he cannot go or he cannot finish a game, then it is Mr. Excitement, America’s Quarterback Jameis Winston.
Man, meathead slimy Saints coach Dennis Allen must really loathe Jameis if he is going to play a one-armed quarterback instead. That’s what Carr is now with an AC sprain in his shoulder.
Against all odds, there is now optimism that #Saints QB Derek Carr (right shoulder) plays against the #Bucs, sources say. Dealing with an AC sprain, Carr did practice on a limited basis on Friday. The coaches will need to know he can protect himself. But there is a chance.

There was actually mention of this days ago.
But the comment then was that Carr my not throw. Whatever else he could do I have no clue.
Carr at full strength would be concerning…but he can’t be at full strength.

They know what’s up when it comes to ole Winston…
Better chance to win risking your quality QB than to just give up and play a health, knockoff at qb…

Maybe they’ll start either Aaron Brooks or Archie Manning.

Joe, You are aware that they will dope him up? Right?
Toradol does wonders.
Go Bucs!

After watching Philly run it down our throat my guess is they’re not planning on throwing all that much no matter who the QB is. We’re not sure what we have as an offense, but the defense was never a question mark. Is it now? If N.O. can bully our Bucs like Philly did, it would be the end of any hopes this season. We were supposed to be able to hang our hat a defense this season. Injuries are no excuse. Bucs D needs a big day.

Neither of New Orleans quarterbacks are impressive.

Jameis was beat out by a Tight end and a backup QB. Probably smart to go with anyone but Winston.

I almost prefer the wounded duck to the healthy spazz.
