Film Study: Derek Carr was better than people realize last year 

Carr was overall a top 10 qb in a season considered a down year and was top 5 in every stay the last 6 games, he led the league in tds, rating and td/int ratio once michael thomas wasnt on the field demanding targets

That first game vs Tampa was brutal tho

He is really good WHEN he has a decent receiver AND doesn't have to worry about his protection

He also was playing through broken ribs last year

Carr isn't the best but people kept saying he should have been benched for Jameis, Mariota etc. The hate is weird. Especially with how god awful Jimmy G was in his footsteps. I will say Carr is allergic to the redzone for some reason and makes some head scratching throws when he's behind late in the game.

To be fair no QB was successful under Josh Mcdaniels as a head coach. With the Saints he had his struggles and you could see his frustration . But the entire team seemed to be having that same issue. The defense gave up a lot of first half points. Kamara was getting tackled pretty easily, Thomas was going Antonio Brown on social media, Winston didn't seem like he was a team player. I dont think Dennis Allen is a very good head coach, but coaches coach and players play...there was enough blame to spread around accross the board for their struggles.

Carr got so much better once Michael Thomas was off the field.

I love DC and I think he was a great quarterback and maybe still is. As a Raiders fan though I did feel like it was time to move on. I expect him to be better with the saints next year and shut down some of the haters. The fact that renfro hasn't signed there yet is shocking to me

So not booty juice just booty

Much ado about an average NFL QB.

On that interception, he was getting pressure and couldn’t step up in the pocket and that linebacker gambled underneath and made a play. All QB’s throw interceptions. But Carr has always been low in interceptions. He is not an interception machine like Allen.

Hes now the 3rd best QB in the South

Dc is the GOAT

Saints in 2022 were so bad their season was over before the bye week. They were 5-9 and had lost to the Bucs twice. Season over by December. Carr made them competitive again.

I tell people this

Carr is what he is. If the O-line can give him time and he's comfortable in the pocket, he plays like a top 10 QB....if he's under pressure he folds like a cheap suit.

Im here to tell you he wasnt bros

He was fine, but his ball placement especially on deep balls was really bad, he limited a ton of explosives with his accuracy alone. He had a bunch of bad mistakes in big moments. O line didn’t help early but I can’t think of a single really big play from Carr himself. Most completions he had this year were ones you’d expect
