So before we go handing out roses let's get past midseason. Another note the deep ball to Ruggs was perfectly thrown I hope that means Carr has been working on his deep ball in the past he put way to much air under those passes if he has look out. But he wasn’t bad to end last season. That’s a laughable narrative that people continue to push. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like it even has anything to do with anything different happening on Offense or playcalling or Derek Carr or anything. It has everything to do with defense 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he was missing was a supporting cast. You don’t just grow nuts over night. He has weapons and a defense now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a death sentence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was bad in the redzone unless you just want to blame Gruden for that that's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Gruden. He drew up more plays for Witten than Waller in the redzone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t get there today, but he’s still on pace to break the single season passing record by about 1400 yards 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Not to make a bad comparison.....(but to make a bad comparison)....anyone who questioned Carr the last 2 years better be questioning Mahomes legitimacy, because he's going through some of the same team deficiencies Carr went through. They're 1-2. You can't win with a defense that allows 33 points a game and no run game. Just can't. It makes you do things you normally wouldn't do. (Don't get me wrong, the cheifs will turn it around soon). But Carr has been good, we just needed to build a decent team. I think we're getting there now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
