Who is the Most Important Player Going into the Saints 2024 Season? | NOF Network Reaction Video 

WHO DATT ⚜️ this is the mf year we all get to see the Saints back in the playoffs.!

Unfortunately Alvin Kamara can't break tackles like Christian McCaffrey, that dude is a bull

All the players are important in there roll of being successful!

Minus Carr, we really don't have another guy that can affect the win total do we? I guess if Young had TJ Watt numbers yea then if Olave had 1500+ yards maybe.We all know the main impact in a negative way for vegas line will always be DA

Derek Carr is definitely 💯 the most important player this season!

I look forward to seeing a better offense with Kubiak and Janoko but for me the defense gotta be on point *most* of the time. So Chase, Cam and Lattimore. I would love to see the defense close games out.⚜️

A single player impacting win or loss total in the NFL... with this new scheme I'd say Kendre Miller.

Its carr whether people like it or not

The question is a little bit ill-formed because it's too subjective. How do you define what a player's "ceiling" is? Everybody can reasonably have a slightly different definition. A player's ceiling is probably the best year he's had in his career, and maybe bump that up a little bit with the assumption that wasn't his peak. This would not be applicable to older players who are clearly past their prime. (But having said that, the rapist did have a phenomenal year in 2009, at the age of 34.) For rookies, you kind of have to base it on where he was drafted. Carr is the clear answer, I think, because he's the quarterback and also because his best year saw him in the MVP conversation, 3rd in voting, and his team went 12-3 in his 15 starts. I'm guessing he had a rest week getting ready for the playoffs. He had 7 game winning drives that year. He's older, but we've seen QB's in this same age range (mid to late 30's) have MVP type seasons many times before. This is not a prediction. I expect him to be more or less average, and nowhere close to being in the MVP conversation, but that's not the question. The question is which player is most impactful to the win total if he reaches his ceiling. With Carr, we also to consider what it will take for him to reach that ceiling. It implies the offensive line is getting the job done. It implies his receivers, running backs, and tight ends are getting the job done, too. It also implies the Klint Kubiak experiment has been successful. If Chase Young has a breakout year and gets 15 to 20 sacks it just means Chase Young is way better than I thought he was. I see his ceiling as more in the 8 to 10 sack range.

At this point i have no idea what Saldaveri looks like😂😂😂

The most important players for the Saints are: 1. Derek Carr 2. Demario Davis 3. Alvin Kamara

Saints ⚜ They will definitely shine this Season Let's Geaux

We believe in the players. We just don’t believe in the coach.

Break out year for Penning. Offensive player of the year.

Derek Carr unquestioned.

I cant wait to see how kubiak uses Taysom hill. I dont know that he affects the win total but a player as dynamic as him under a good OC can give other teams problems

15:20 I usually agree with your takes James, But if we look at it on a 1-10 scale penning is a 2/10 at best. Simply just another body. But if he is able to find his "Niche" and even become an average player or mediocre, then that effects Alvin Kamara, Miller, Williams. Jet sweeps and possibly pass rush. Which in his current evaluation from his last two years he made a lot of these not even possible...but if he becomes average, gets his footwork down and becomes that super aggressive player like in college he will help alllll of those things mentioned. Especially if we are going to be running 22 schemes and run the 2 te 2 rb.

A lockdown corner is very valuable and can add to win total. Why do you think they are paid so much?? You don’t win the same amount of games with or without a lockdown corner. He doesn’t need 15 pick to make a difference. Just lock down one side.

Trevor Penning (dead serious)

Let's get it.

Disagree on the penning point. O Line is still the biggest question for the saints. If you have two 1st round caliber tackles I would feel way more confident in saying that the Saints WILL win some of the games you marked as toss ups. Do I think penning will reach that peak, no of course not, but if he does… (let’s say ovr like 80ish, which is his max max). If we put a lot of blame on bad coaching (for carr for example) I am willing to give penning one more year

You forgot about breese? 😊

A player that can add a game or two to the win total is a kicker. Blake Grupe or Charlie Smyth.

So according to Nick it’s Carr!! If the line sucks again they lose again

Miller will be RB1. 1100 yards

I just wanna see koolaid play

I think Cam Jordan is being underestimated. People wanna blame his age and think it's drop off because he's older, but he was playing injured (this is common knowledge and he's not playing in OTAs even though he's still appearing because he's recovering from injury). Just in 2022 he had 8.5 sacks. If he doesn't get injured I could see his production being closer to that than when he was injured this past 2023 season. And sometimes a well-timed sack can seal a game.

Landon Young played well the end of the season at R Tackle

A healthy Marshon Lattimore playing at his highest level is 100% more impactful than any offensive lineman we have on our roster. A healthy Lattimore being able to lock down any number 1 WR is way more impactful then a decent Trevor penning season 🤣 As for our CB room Alontae is an average to below average corner at best, adebo is a very good corner I give you that. But We still have No idea how Kool aid will develop in the nfl. Bottom line is a healthy Lattimore and Adebo is the best CB duo in the league.

How accurate has Vegas compared to pass win/loss records? Derek Carr is definitely number on this list. I understand we want to have high expectations and that we will win the South but we still have unproven offense and rookies that will be thrown to the wolves the first couple weeks of the season.

Before watching the video- Carr Kamara Young If all 3 of them ball out we might win a playoff game Or more

I might be a pessimist but I don't have a good feeling about penning, feels like this is his last chance.

James your not the only one I heard talk about Kamara like he washed I think Kamara got alot left in the tank....... If he don't we about to find out with this new oc and new offense.....

Kamara can easily duplicate what MCCaffrey does. They’ve been essentially used differently the entirety of their careers.

If they can match or be close to the 49ers rushing 2,400 yards 4.8ypc they win 11 games
