A vast majority of Saints fans who wanted Derek Carr gone got their wish this past weekend when the 34-year-old QB abruptly retired. Now what? Well, there’s no question the team is entering a rebuilding era, although General Manager Mickey Loomis and company don’t want to call it that.
How long will the honeymoon period last for both Coach Kellen Moore and his rookie quarterback Tyler Shough? And will they bring in a veteran to help in a QB room that is the only one without an NFL victory? Indeed, there’s plenty to discuss on another Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 373) presented by Evangeline Securities, including the interesting timing of WHEN Carr and the team announced the move.
Also, we hear from Shough, Moore and No. 1 pick Kelvin Banks after a weekend of rookie minicamp, and Gabe Henderson is here to help fill us in on the cap situation and what free-agent QBs are available. In “The Last Word,” Jim wonders if the ump who tossed LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson was a little quick on the trigger Sunday afternoon.
