daineraider Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 He threw passes in today's practice. He won't play this weekend, but hopefully he can be back next week or the week after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2016, Carr produced a passer rating under pressure of 70.0, which ranked near middle of the pack among quarterbacks at 15th. This season Carr has produced a passer rating under pressure of just 26.5, which is the second-worst mark in the league. He's clearly struggling under pressure and he's rarely pushed the ball down the field. 1 You mean by design of the offense? Watch his deep ball placement this year. It's been excellent. And a lot of Oakland's pressures have turned into sacks. I've been watching him each week and a lot of it is on the design of the offense. It's not like he's laying an egg out there against the rush like you're implying. His passer rating under pressure is also the result of a lot of receiver drops and nullifying penalties, not him crumbling under pressure. I see a far bigger problem with the coaching staff than Carr. When you watch what he's capable of doing when allowed to check in and out of plays in that offense and allowed to be aggressive, the product is a lot of fun to watch.

He's 31st out of 32 QBs(only Flacco has less) in air yards without drops. 336 on the season(Flacco is an abysmal 273). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what he's capable of (I drafted him in fantasy...:) ) he's a good QB. I'm just seeing a slight regression from last year, is all. Especially confidence throwing deep. The drops certainly push his rating down, true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Imagine if they had only traded up to get Teddy Bridgewater.. that's tough. I'm a big fan of Carr. I hope he can come back quickly and keep Oakland in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the regression talk, but I think the transition from Musgrave to Downing has slowed Carr's progression in that he hasn't been allowed to push the ball down the field consistently. I think if he could, he would be more than happy to. He loves to take shots when he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
