Derek Carr world tour thread (updated with combine visits)

There may be some truth in that but then I wouldn't put Lawrence in the same group you did. He's trending the right direction but there's nothing in his production so far that puts him within mention of Mahomes, Burrow, and Hurts other than he's young. In fact, Throw in Herbert and Allen with them, then a next tier of Rodgers and Jackson, (elite talent; one is in his twilight and the other has durability and playoff concerns) and I think there's a bigger group bunched together and Carr has a place among them.

All subjective, of course, but I think situations and supporting casts are the biggest differentiators among that group.
If an NFL was conduct a re-draft with all available players…I’m pretty confident Lawrence would go top 5.
Well, I had him in ffl a couple of years ago and he put up some big numbers. Watched several of his games and he's been solid until last year. And word coming out of LV is he had his hands tied by McDaniels and that led to the drop in performance this year. So, I'm inclined to believe his performance last year was an aberration and not his usual high level of play, which even then wasn't terrible.

He had issues when getting in the red zone, but I'd put that on coaching.

We disagree, which is fine, but I think the best thing to do is go with an experienced vet who can bring a high level of play and stability at the QB position. We get him, we can focus the draft on other key positions. Also, we didn't have to give anything up to get him, other than a contract offer.
Carr wasn’t particularly good two years ago…before McDaniels. I’m not particularly interested in getting a QB that can be good in certain schemes. Carr was good three years ago, if that was the guy we’d be getting I’d be fine with it. But there is no guarantee. Carr has only thrown for 25+ TDs once in the past 6 years. That’s while having receivers that are capable of getting in the end zone….Cooper, Waller, Renfrow, and Adams
