The saints are the only team on that list that has won a Super Bowl in the last 30 years. Actually the saints and cowboys are the only teams on that list that haven’t been a revolving door of coaches every 5 years. Very Hot Take but The saints job should be the most desirable considering you’ll get all the credit for any success and any failure will just be blamed on Mickey like always.
Winning a sb 20 years ago doesn’t mean anything now.
@ winning a superbowl takes a lot of Time,Skill,Money and most importantly Luck. you can’t judge a team purely on winning championships. My original comment was to highlight how poorly run every team on that list is and I know it’s hard to believe but the saints aren’t even close to the worst run team in the league. It’s not a coincidence that you never see players say they want to leave the saints.
@@KermitTFYT
Hey! It was 15 years ago, darnit!
Loomis doesn’t get enough blame
@@1001011011010it being 15 years ago makes me feel way too old 😂
I don’t believe we’re the worst , even with our cap situation. Aaron Glenn is going to regret going to the jets
We by far the worst, No QB ,old RB , no WR core , weak oline and a Old defense , Jets second worst but we the worst by leaps and bounds, it’s no positives here

Yes we are. 😂. The worst salary cap. With no decent quarterback on the roster. Who do you think was the coach that?
I agree, even though Mina Kimes in the preseason thought Pete Carmichael was still our OC
(Damn)
From a political view it's easy to hold the Saints to a lower rank but from a realistic view I say it's hard to say we're the worst. 🤔⚜️
I thought so too going into it but it’s kinda hard to find a team that’s worse.
It's hard to see the up side. Too many questions about injuries and age. Some players seem to mentally checkout.
@1B2B-ReyA You have to count what's best on the team. Alvin when healthy had a career season, Hill and even Fuaga was a hit in the draft. It's true we have to get younger and draft better but the right coach can flip the script.
@@divineeternity7268 take what you see to be true and put it to the side. Now put yourself in a coaches frame of mind.
Cap issues, injuries are yearly and plentiful. Who's returning and for how long. How to fix the depth chart. From the view outside, shit looks horrible.
i agree with her
We should be one point lower
We need 2 yrs to get cap straight and top 2 pick then get a permanent HC
Love you James
@@Onelightonly There it is
Mickey Loomis needs to go please!
Smh no one views us as a worthy franchise anymore how did we get here
Low market team that was somewhat relevant during Payton/Brees, faded by into mediocrity by the front office.
General Mismanagement
It’s crazy how Washington was so bad changed ownership, coach and got their QB and their right back in the mix
@@jarelljenkins3392I think mostly QB
Micky loomis brought us here
Correct!!!
With Gayle as the owner and a front office that will provide job security and time. I believe a coach that wants to build from the ground up and create a team with his own recipe would see our team as one of the top landing spots.
Only time Carr has preformed above average is when he plays a bad team. Otherwise he fakes injury to avoid criticism.
Raider fans will get mad and comment below how much they love Carr. Never fails.
Faking injury is a wild take, I think you need to get on some Zoloft or something with how much you think of carr lol
@ I think you should get on Zoloft for as much as you care about my opinion. It’s like it causes you physical pain.
@ carr is a fraud qb.
That’s just a dumb take
@@magmahawk583 chiefs
Carr has to take a pay cut or leave
He was a top 10 graded QB, also the highest graded player on the entire team, being paid like the 17th best QB, and will be the 20th highest paid QB next season with a restructure.
Saints are extremely lucky to have a QB willing to do that. It's on them to put a competent team around him. It's not his fault they haven't.
@@jessegardner134 He played in 10 games and didn't finish them all. Tua is doing that on Miami, he is younger and better than Carr and their team is still imploding. That lucky feeling you are getting when you look at Carr as the QB is known as copium.
@ I don't think hes worth the contract tho
@@theshaadcast7346 I don't think he wants back on the saints.
@ nah he’s not all that he’s gotta go we need someone better if we gotta suck till then oh well but we gotta find em
Agreed
Absolutely not. Everyone hate on the saints so badd bra 😂
Carr grade should be a 2 he is the problem. He's not good, and until they get a new QB, they will struggle. Rattler played with backups across the board. Another thing that hurt them was the O-line guys like Patrick and Ruiz, and the backup lineman was terrible. On defense, Pete Werner sucks at LB, I think if you had better pass rushers, the CBs would play better position coaches, which is also a big problem. I hope whoever become the new coach should fire some of them and they need a new medical staff
Yea we just have so many flaws on both sides of the ball ! Both o line & dline be non existent for us ! Would love to see Rattler with a oline to protect him & actual true WR starters ! The poor kid was set up to fail each game he played and still showed some flashes
we were promised a playoff win, or one step close to winning a SuperBowl. When we signed Carrbage, not only has he underperformed but he brought a stick to a gun fight. Look at how many times we got blowout this season. You are right, carr when you gave credit to Dennie Allen and Loomis, they deserve all of it and you too.
@@stew-dent1922 it's funny you bring up the blowouts to criticize Carr, when he wasn't involved in any of them. Every single blowout happened with the backup QB's. The saints were competitive in every single game Carr played. He hasn't underperformed, in fact hrs played at a top 10 level while being paid like the 18th best QB. So he's outperforming his contract.
You're the kind of fan that doesn't even know who the QB is in a given game, all you know is that they lost, and that Carr is normally the starter. I can't think of a better example of casual fandom, besides maybe using records to judge QB's (and you know you do that too).
First off I’m a little biased Derek Carr along with Marcus Allen Lester Hayes and Charles Woodson are my all-time favorite Raiders. With that being said I remember when many of my fellow Raidernation fanbase wanted anybody else to start a football game at quarterback other than Derek Carr…… and then it happened
I'm the oddball Saints fan that lives in the Dakota's ... could ship you guys in NOLA my snow shovel. Maybe even my snowblower. Crazy times.
@@neugey We need the snow shovels right now fasho
PFF has Carr rated the highest Saints player at 85.6
Carr is trash
@@respectatheart3893anyone who says Carr is trash doesn't know QBs or football.
The team was trash. Carr made them competitive despite that. Don't blame the QB for the team.
Carr is dog water
Carr is dookie
@@JoeExperienceShorts Carr is the best thing saints had going for them the last 2 seasons, and was the only reason they weren't one of the worst teams in the NFL. W/o the good passing game that Carr provided, Saints would have been dog water.
I love you james 🤍🖤💛⚜️
I don't agree with the grade or being the worst.. True the Saints are in bad situation but hopefully we can turn it around in two years. Saints are better than teams with bad owners that seek total control or don't have the patient to let the new coach do his thing.
Any coach going to the jets is insane. 😂
She's probably right Sean Payton is probably right about the trainers the Saints have it's not just the talent on the team the players are always hurt for past 3 years who ever the coach is they need put together a great staff
Saints are far from the worst. Best owner, patience, plus we’re the Saints.
I agree ……no cap space very limited talent old veterans
I mean we are the worst HC opening in the NFL. We need at least 2 years (at minimum) to fix our cap alone, forgetting any other problem we have.
If you remember the last several years, we always miss out on great free agents because we cant pay them at the moment. And when we fix it and get into the positive Cap, all the good free agents are gone and start going into the old past their prime players.
Aww James- you got it for the lady
I respect her analysis!
the saints have a very tough decision to make regarding carr.
True
What will it take to get the Saints to get their finances straight? Who are they paying thats not on the team? Outside of Carr, who's getting all the money? Just a football fan , asking
Disagree. We’re actually the best coaching job even considering the issues. The idea in the NFL is to win. Starting with the division. If you chose OAK you will never win the division. (Reid,Harbaugh,Payton). All with solid And great QBs. Same goes for the r3 at of the openings. Chose the saints and win the division with 10 wins. Or go somewhere else and have to get 13.
The only reason is because micky won’t fire you if you suck because real gm will fire coaches after one year of sucking . Not micky though he’ll let you suck it up until your contract is done. That’s great for a coach with his job security
People Think Mina Kimes is the Worst Analyzer in the NFL
Yea we are the worst in salary cap. That’s on Mickey.
How do you get rid of him? Dead cap hit of 51M... nobody is teading for that either i wouldnt think?
@@swanksthetiger1169 Exact same way LVR did it. Or how Atlanta will with Cousins.
Carr is due a $30 mill roster bonus if he’s on the team when the league year starts so NOLA will want to save that if they can.
@JamesSkrmetta Doesnt that 30M just go into his cap hit tho? As in, they don't save the 30M.. they still have the 51M dead cap hit.. it's not like they can cut him and spend that 30 on other players right? If I'm not mistaken.
By far the worst coaching opening. Owner generosity aside. It was a bad roster last season and even worse now with age and injuries. Derek is a "C" student at QB getting 50 mill to be meh. AK is getting a year closer to the wall. Defense is bad, offense is bad, money is bad. GM is bad. Outlook is bad. There's no reason to sugar coat it. It's bad
James, care to explain how the jags and jets have a better roster than the raiders?
I notice you downplay the raiders a lot but I’m not sure you’re basing it off of fact, Just feelings
He doesn't watch the games and the box scoring.
I mean once you get away from Crosby and Bowers things get ugly quick. No one else on the team has a higher grade than 80 on PFF. The Jets have 9 players > 80.
@ I watch every second of every game and grade every box score during the season.
@@JamesSkrmetta pff has grades locked behind a paywall but may wanna check Jackson Powers Johnson, Jakorian Bennett, Jakobi Meyers, adam butler, Nate Hobbs, Kolton miller, Robert spillaine…. Doesn’t seem true to me
JPJ - 63
Bennett - 58 (86th out of 118 CBs yuck)
Meyers - 77
Spillane - 68
Butler - 56
Hobbs - 61
Miller - This one is an 80. 80.6
Loomis rewards loyalty instead of performance because he has no backbone. One example of many, extending and raising Werner.
If we're being honest, the team doesn't seem to believe their good. By week 6 they lose all interest in playing.
I don’t buy the idea that the saints are the worst job to take temper in the first 3 weeks we were the hottest team in the league before all the injuries I know there’s a coach out there that looks at the saints right now and says you know what I can keep that team healthy and win with them we’re in cap hell because we payed a lot of play makers that ain’t nessisary a bad thing the only contract we should regret is Carrs even cam started coming on towards the end of the season the only thing the saints need is depth we can fix a lot of those issues in the draft and also need to start implementing more stretching and maybe some type of yoga to stop some of the injuries. Jameis was winning with this same team and his best receiver was Marquez Calloway a guy that’s on the Bucs practice squad we picked the wrong QB and Coach this teams failures had more to do with coaching than anything else they weren’t discipline that says more about coaching I’d cut Carr and get Justin fields and let him and rattler battle it out. We had half a team running out a pre season roster most of the season we were in a shoot out with both teams that are in the nfc championship. With a rookie QB we had accidentally won 5 games. And had a interim head coach mid season all that being said I think you’d be dumb to over look the saints watch a new coach come in here and win
QB should be 2 tbh
You get good QB play out of Carr SOMETIMES...
He was a top 10 graded QB this season, and was the highest graded player on the entire saints roster.
So no one on the saints roster played as well as Carr, as often as Carr.
@@jessegardner134 5-5. Those are the grades that count.
If he's the best player on our roster we are utter trash, you know it
“I think Derek Carr is good, average to above average”
“I think trevor Lawrence stinks”
“Lawrence and Carr are about the same”
Bro what are you talking about.
Trevor Lawrence stinks which is different than bad. Stinks is somewhere around 16th, which is mathematically average. Keep up.
@@JamesSkrmettanah James Carr and Lawrence are both overpaid backups. At least Lawrence is young and could turn it around. Carr is washed and retaining him will ruin the franchise more than it has. We will continue being bad if Carr plays next year. Every rookie qb playing now is better than Carr.
@@JamesSkrmettaI say Carr is 18-32. He’s not better than the usual top 18 qbs. Average to below average. We need off this contract.
@@JamesSkrmetta that’s not what you said, James and I think you’re backtracking.
When comparing the two, one is far less accomplished and young while the other has a lot of experience. Apples to oranges but you said what you said!
Lawrence does stink.
@KermitTFYT what rookie quarterbacks? Jayden Daniels, who is on a team with very good coaching, good offensive weapons, and a top 10 offensive line? Maybe Bo Nix, who has very good coaching, good offensive weapons, and a top 10 offensive line? Carr still had a top 10 passer rating, a top 10 touchdown percentage, and a 3 to 1 interception ratio. That's far from washed. That's a good vet behind a horrible line and with poor coaching. Not to mention the injury situation. Jayden Daniels had a better season, hands down. Bo Nix did too, but again, he was in a much more favorable situation.
I like Nix and especially Daniels. JD looks like he's going to be a superstar for years to come. It's also true, he is in a good situation.
There's also Penix, who has a solid offensive line, decent coach, and good skill players. He did decent but not better than Carr. Who else we got? Caleb Williams? No, not even close. Drake May? Forget about it. Which leaves Rattler. He did have a few moments where he had yo@KermitTFYT what rookie quarterbacks?

What does "128, RUSTGL, and E7L" mean? 😂 She seriously needs to work on her penmanship
This not a hot take, it’s obvious
I don’t agree with it. If Carr didn’t get hurt the Saints most likely would’ve won the division.
Delusion. Carr lost horribly to the Failcons, beat up
On lowly panthers and dodged the Bucs so the rookie could play. No way in hell we was winning this year. Why can’t you understand a 34 year old qb who gets hurt every year will continue to do just that. Delusional fans.
@ you forgot to mention that the defense caved in the last 2 minutes and lost the game for the saints. Panthers made a field goal with a few seconds left after the defense stunk it up. I believe the defense did this 3 or 4 times this year.
You smoking dope
@@stevebetker829 you also forgot that we’re paying someone 50m$ a year to throw 15 tds the entire year and play 10 games. Thats the BIGGEST area of concern whether people admit it or not. If we are paying him that much he better throw 3 TDS a game and he hasn’t done that at all. He garbage. He’s an 11 year vet he should be cutting the defenses up nmw the OLine looks like. He’s garbage. I’ve seen Joe Flacco play better ball than Carr in recent memory.
@@nolabrooks9906 top ten quarterback rating. Look what happened when he wasn’t playing
“The Death Star”? You know they play in a Roomba!
Not possible, the jaguars exist.
she's right. this franchise is a disaster.
If trevor Lawrence is ass then how ass is Dereck Carr then? Cause Lawrence is better then Carr
@@respectatheart3893 One is a much less expensive piece of ass….. wait…… phrasing?
Sorry James, I can't watch Minah, I dont think she has any original idea on topics she talks abouteven though you church it up with your presence.
I’ll take it! 💪🏻
We have the jets declining 1000 yd receivers based on a video game, the cowboys with Jerry as your GM, Jacksonville actual wasteland on defense with an impatient owner and a terrible GM that somehow is immune to being fired, and don't forget Vegas where all 3 of the other teams in division will give you a guaranteed 0-6. Saints aren't even close to the worst. Mina Kimes is dogshit. The clickbait titles are getting pro James, I can't last 30 seconds into your vid without crashing out in the comments XD.
