The saints without Carr-Carr could be putting themselves at a clumsy quarter-rear decision between a faithful son of their city and a faithful son of one of their coaches.
Carr’s surprise retirement on Saturday leaves the saints with three young quarters – the Tyler Shough recruit, the second year professional Spencer Rattle and the third year Jake Haener – Fighting to start.
Rattler and Haener are a 0-7 combined as beginners.
It is possible that Shough – a second round choice of 25 years which would have been the best quarter of certain NFL team teams during the 2025 draft – finds immediate success such as recruits Jayden Daniels (Commanders) and CJ Stroud (Texans) have in recent years.
It is also possible that Shough is struggling and that saints are becoming solid competitors for the n ° 1 choice of the 2026 recovery.
And it would be very interesting because it could lead to a choice between the quarter-arre Arch Manning of Texas and Garrett Nussmeier de Lsu.
Manning is the grandson of the legend of the Holy Archie Manning, from New Orleans and a graduate of the famous Isidore Newman school in the city which also produced its uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning.
Archie remains the last quarter of the first round written by Les Saints (1971).
Thought in football circles is that – like Peyton and Eli – Arch will spend at least four years at the University, which would put it in the Restchage class of 2027 instead of 2026.
After all, Nil opportunities balance the financial remuneration opportunities and Arch still has only two career starts to his credit.
But the appeal of playing for the holy hometown could be difficult to resist the family if everything was aligning perfectly at both ends.
Again, the offensive coordinator of the saints Doug Nussmeier should have his say in the quarter of the future.
And Nussmeier would think of being partial to his son Garrett, who is also a common choice of the top 10 in simultaneously silent projects.
Nussmeier could have entered the recovery of 2025 after having completed the dry by completion and attempts by passing for 29 affected and 12 interceptions during his first year in place of Daniels.
But he chose to return to LSU and solidify his draft.
Asked by the post during the Super Bowl week about the possibility of training with or against his son in the NFL, Doug Nussmeier said that his mind had not yet been there but that he “would always be a resource” for his son.
Doug stressed by responding to adversity as one of the greatest forces of Garrett.
“This is a large part of the success in this position,” he said. “The more you go high, the more difficult it is. Each day will not be great. You have to stay neutral. You have to realize that when you think you are at the top, you are going to be brought back very quickly. When you think you are down, put your nose and you beat and you are well.”
Carr, 34, retired rather than undergoing surgery to repair a tear of Labrum and damage to his headlines of rotators who would probably have sidelined her for the full season and would have left his career in doubt anyway.
