New Orleans Saints special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi has named Derek Carr as the team’s starting quarterback for the upcoming game, solidifying the veteran’s position as the leader of the offense. Rizzi’s announcement, made ahead of the game, comes as the Saints look to build momentum with Carr under center following his offseason signing.
Carr, who joined the Saints after a decade with the Las Vegas Raiders, brings a wealth of experience to New Orleans. Over his career, the 33-year-old has passed for over 35,000 yards and 200 touchdowns, establishing himself as a proven starter in the league. This season, Carr’s leadership and familiarity with the Saints’ offensive system have been critical in earning him the starting role, which had been the subject of much anticipation throughout training camp.
Rizzi, typically focused on special teams, spoke to the impact Carr’s presence has had on the entire offense. His leadership qualities and ability to manage the game will be crucial for a team aiming to contend for the NFC South title. The Saints have struggled in recent years to find stability at quarterback, but Carr’s arrival is seen as a key move to solidify that position.
The announcement positions Carr to lead the Saints into their next matchup with confidence, offering fans hope for a strong season ahead. As the team continues to gel under his direction, expectations will be high for Carr’s performance on the field in this pivotal game.
