Reply to comment by Homers_Harp in [Garafolo] The Saints are closing in on a deal with QB Derek Carr, sources tell me and Ian Rapoport. After nine seasons with the Raiders, the four-time Pro Bowl selection is headed to New Orleans. The first QB domino is about to fall and one NFC South team has its starter. by BCLetsRide69

Not sure why Cam Newton is always the go to comparison. They have almost nothing in common as players.

It's like saying "well Matt Stafford is going to fall off like Joe Flacco did" because they're both pocket passers.

Who is going to play quarterback for them now? You? They don't have a starting quarterback on the roster now. Carr was the first legitimate starting quarterback we had since Gannon.

Reply to comment by Dry_Needleworker7504 in US teen Jordan Stolz is first man to win three individual golds at speed skating worlds | Speed Skating by carnifex2005

As is pointed out elsewhere, it's basically saying that globally, speed skating isn't as common or popular as other athletic pursuits. He then goes on to compare the speed skating Mecca to the track and field Mecca to illustrate its importance. You seem awfully sensitive about someone stating the obvious about what the vast majority of the world considers a fringe sport, and then trying to explain the importance of the place in terms they'd understand.

Carr can ball but he needs everything around him just right. That’s my main knock as a raiders fan. He’s not that guy that will lift everybody up, which imo is what separates the goats from the rest of the best.

He’s also turnover prone when the lights are the brightest and is dependably terrible in cold weather, which is a huge plus for NO since y’all playin in a dome 1/2 the season.

I hope he balls, and in that weaker division I think he’s set up nicely.
