0:00
we got the news before the draft that
0:03
Derek Carr is still dealing with this
0:05
and so that kind of threw the a monkey
0:08
wrench into the the Saints draft plans
0:10
it seemed like cuz it was suddenly is
0:13
Derek Carr going to be available for the
0:15
season and does that mean they need to
0:16
go into the Aaron Rogers sweep stakes
0:19
and that caught everybody offguard well
0:22
they come out of the draft with Tyler
0:25
Shock and now we realize that that was
0:28
not just a smoke screen that this was
0:31
severe enough for Derek Carr to retire
0:34
from and you know it's such an odd
0:39
dynamic considering that his brother
0:43
retired basically due to injury as well
0:46
you know both David and Derek will go
0:48
down in history as a duo a brother duo
0:53
that is synonymous with getting the
0:55
hellbeat out of him now for David it was
0:58
because he was behind an expansion
1:00
Houston Texans offensive line and he
1:02
just had the stop beat out of him from
1:04
day one and kind of never quite
1:06
recovered and has become a cautionary
1:08
tale of having a young quarterback and
1:11
not having an offensive line in front of
1:13
them how that can ruin him for Derek i
1:15
mean Derek played in the league long
1:17
enough as a starting quarterback but he
1:19
did end up collecting a lot of injuries
1:21
along the way and whether it was in
1:23
Oakland then Vegas now New Orleans it
1:27
did seem like there was always something
1:29
up with Derek Carr's body and it was an
1:32
assortment of different injuries and so
1:33
now the fact that he's retiring because
1:35
of it it just basically puts the car
1:39
family in the NFL dictionary as you know
1:45
cursed by injury and I don't know if
1:47
that was because of poor offensive lines
1:50
for Derek Carr or just because as a DNA
1:53
of their bodies they just could not take
1:55
the rigor and the wear and tear of an
1:57
NFL career but it is wild that both of
2:00
them basically have to retire before
2:02
they are ready due to injury and for the
2:07
Saints this is one of the
2:15
horrifying quarterback depth charts in
2:19
recent NFL memory i mean look at this
2:23
you're talking about Tyler Shuck who
2:26
they just drafted battling the
2:29
two-headed monster of Spencer Rattler
2:32
and Jake Hayner i mean look at these
2:35
guys hener had one start last season
2:40
spencer Rattler went 0
2:42
and6 he was a rookie and now Tyler Shuck
2:47
these are your options at this point in
2:50
time i mean if Aaron Rodgers wanted to
2:54
play for the New Orleans Saints would
2:57
they have to move aside and let him do
2:59
so just because those three almost
3:02
guarantee you a one or two win season
3:05
for a Saints franchise that doesn't have
3:07
a lot of talent anyway under the hood is
3:11
it not impossible to imagine any one of
3:14
those guys stepping in and winning more
3:16
than two games now I don't love the idea
3:20
of inviting Aaron Rogers circus into my
3:22
hometown either so if the Saints don't
3:26
want to go down that road I don't blame
3:28
them but that's I mean that really is
3:32
terrifying the idea that your three-way
3:35
quarterback position your three-way
3:38
quarterback battle is a rookie a
3:42
secondyear guy that went 0 and6 and a
3:45
third-year guy with one start by the way
3:48
none of them were drafted as a franchise
3:52
cornerstone none of which were were
3:54
drafted as a this is our future at the
3:58
position all three were brought in as
4:01
potential projects and so when you have
4:03
a quarterback competition and it's a
4:08
race my god and then that begs the
4:11
question is this history repeating
4:13
itself all over again where you would
4:17
potentially have a Manning getting
4:23
overall by a pitiful Saints franchise
4:26
because once upon a time 50 some odd
4:30
years ago Archie Manning the patriarch
4:34
of the Manning family was exactly that
4:38
he came out of miss after an elite
4:40
career in the SEC he ends up drafted
4:43
number one overall to save the franchise
4:46
of course Manning has you know all of
4:49
that goodwill in the South in the SEC
4:52
and so they draft him to be the the the
4:55
guy that saves the Saints as the Saints
4:59
and he ends up the face of the franchise
5:02
but getting the snotbeat out of him much
5:04
like the Cars and in doing so becomes
5:08
again cautionary tale
5:11
of brilliant talent wasted because he
5:15
was drafted to a terrible franchise
5:18
informs why he maneuvers his son Eli out
5:23
of the Chargers at that time in ' 04 to
5:25
the Giants he thought the Chargers were
5:29
2.0 and today Arch is going to start
5:33
this year for Texas and if Arch wanted
5:36
to he is now the requisite number of
5:40
years removed from high school
5:41
graduation where he could enter the NFL
5:44
draft and if he did would hypothetically
5:48
be the number one pick in the draft and
5:49
maybe to the New Orleans Saints and
5:51
history just cycling back on itself
5:54
which is wild now the flip side of that
5:59
is does the Manning family ever do
6:03
anything prematurely and the answer is
6:06
no so Arch after just one season of
6:10
starting this is a guy that went to a
6:13
place where he knew he wouldn't start
6:14
right away in Texas with Quin Quinners
6:17
there he's a guy that's patiently waited
6:20
his turn he has now finally risen to
6:23
that spot and after one year probably
6:27
Cooper Manning and the Manning clan
6:29
doesn't say "Okay Arch you should jump
6:31
into the NFL." But considering the New
6:35
Orleans roots of that
6:38
family considering how in the city they
6:41
are royalty and considering it just
6:44
might happen where the New Orleans
6:45
Saints are the number one pick in the
6:48
draft and so you could say if you enter
6:51
the draft you know if you knew that his
6:53
stock was high enough you could engineer
6:58
team that would be an amazing sports
7:01
story so now we have this watch going on
7:09
this generational quarterback tethered
7:12
to the city of New Orleans
7:14
forever is simultaneously finally
7:18
starting every week as we watch the
7:21
Saints crumble to a two- win season but
7:25
again trying to find more than two wins
7:26
when Jake Kirner Spencer Rattler and
7:28
Tyler Shucker your quarterbacks is a
7:31
tough project is a real tough It's a
7:35
tough ask so we'll see what happens but
7:39
the Derek Carr retirement news opens up
7:42
a whole hell of a lot of doors all of
7:45
them interesting some of them horrifying
