Who Should I Start? Derek Carr or Mitch Trubisky

Monday, January 13, 4:36 PM

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said on Monday that he still has a high level of confidence in quarterback Derek Carr. In his second season in New Orleans, Carr missed the final four games of the season due to a concussion and broken hand and missed a total of seven games due to injury in total. In the 10 starts that Carr did make, he completed 67.7% of his 279 pass attempts for a career-low 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. The four-time Pro Bowler has played in only 17 games in his two seasons in the Big Easy and carries an absurd $51 million salary cap hit in 2025. The 33-year-old doesn't have any guaranteed money left on the final two years of his deal, but it will still be tough for the Saints to move on given his salary cap hit. Carr's $30 million base salary and $10 million roster bonus for 2025 will kick in in the middle of March, so we should have more clarity by then.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Mitchell Trubisky completed 15 of 21 pass attempts for 101 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots. He also rushed four times for 12 yards. The veteran's passing touchdown was a two-yard strike to running back Ray Davis. Starting quarterback Josh Allen played one snap to extend his consecutive starts streak. Then, Trubisky entered the game and played for about three quarters before third-stringer Mike White finished the action. The Bills had clinched the AFC's second seed before the game began and utilized the entire roster to keep their stars healthy.
