NYRaider Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 One of the things that has really stood out to me is the value of continuity. Carr is in year 4 with the same head coach/offensive coordinator and you can just see how much of an impact that has had on his play. Plus he's playing with guys that he trusts, Waller (4th year), Renfrow (3rd year), Moreau (3rd year), Jones (3rd year), Ruggs (2nd year), and Edwards (2nd year). The most impressive thing about the last couple of games for me has been Carr's trust in guys like Ruggs/Edwards in key moments, he has trusted them to show up and they've made plays. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I wanted to keep everyone around. Continuity is the key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying changing OC and/ or HC every year is bad for a QB? lol glad people starting to see Carr was never our problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilshark69 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Holy turdballs Batman!! I haven’t been on here all weekend and all of a sudden there’s a carr appreciation thread! What in the name of turn-arounds is goin on? Lmfao!! In all seriousness, glad to see it. Hell, even the pick yesterday wasn’t his fault completely. Glad he’s getting some love, but winning cures everything. Bring on the dolts! Time for a home game in LA. Lol! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCOUGHMAN Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Carr led the Raiders to a 3-0 record while throwing for a league-high 1,203 yards on 88 of 136 passing. He also had six touchdowns while compiling a 101.4 quarterback rating. He downplayed the significance of the honor. “It always means something nice, but after three weeks it’s just like, ‘Thanks, cool, thumbs up,’” he said. “I appreciate it, but it will be cooler for my kids someday than it is for me. … I hope me putting that stuff off isn’t a dis at any of it, but at this point it doesn’t mean much.” 💯 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not say he was ever our problem but there where definitely years where he was not the solution. Carr is not the same player he was in 2017-19 and there where a few games last year he was horrible. Its nice that he is putting up yards this year but we need to figure out the redzone. It is not all on him this year because our running game is garbage but he definitely regressed in 2017 and has been slowly improving since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many QBs in the league would’ve been successful with those rosters? The two best rosters DCs has had he’s made some noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were games last year were TB was horrible, or Mahommes was off, Wilson has bad games. Watson has bad games. We need to stop expected QBs to perfect week in and week out. Players have bad games. Carr will have a bad game this season, hopefully this board doesnt start the get rid of him talk then. Our D needs to step up when Carr is off, and so far they have. Its been amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
