Rumor Control - Derek Carr

[Vanguard83]

per Scott Erickson - reporting Vikings have inquired about Derek Carr / Saints

If true, this would make me feel even sicker about the JJ injury, because to me it would demonstrate that the team is not sold on Darnold and JJ had a shot at playing. If they really think Darnold is the definitive starter then why any interest here. Would not see them making a trade to upgrade the backup position.

[Bullazin]

Holy crap. Only if the saints are tanking, and he would cost our first next year.

I don’t see why or how we would do it, unless someone believes we can make the dance and Darnold is not the guy to get us there.

Second thought. I don’t see the saints tanking and they won’t win 4 games without Carr.

meh...

A replacement for JJM is how this is being talked about?

Doesnt make sense. 

They paid Darnold $10mm and they have been praising him, at least publicly.

I'm not a Derek Carr fan anymore. He can sling it around, but his accuracy tanks HARD when he's under pressure. Don't see why the Saints would get rid of him and roll with Rattler.

[Kentis]

I’d prefer Uncle Rico…

[RS_Express]

I'd rather start Mullens.

[StickierBuns]

But why?

[comet52]

Pure bullshit.

[StickierBuns]

Pure bullshit.

Agreed. This has to be completely made up. Its dumb.
