There was also a great film study posted on how his receivers let him down. And Underhill talked today about how they went away from the stuff Carr did well in the last, even removing certain plays that Renfrow ran well.

This is the nuance I mentioned would be afforded to Carr. He will get a thorough evaluation on what went wrong and what he does great. I expect multiple articles pointing fingers at receivers, coaching, defense, etc and then highlight everything Carr does great. It is the nature of the beast.

And honestly, I think by your post you’re inferring that Jameis was benched because of something other than performance? I was a huge proponent of Jameis last year and thought he played really well with Payton.

But this season, outside of the 4th quarter in Atlanta, he was really bad. I do think the injury played a major role in it. But even so, his play on the field more than warranted the benching.

Actually, when you actually break down the Carolina game, it looks a whole lot different that folks wanted to make it. Instead of looking at the totally of the game, we took Underhill's mention of not being able to read a blitz (mind you, with a close bunch formation with no motion) and ran with that. Not Kamara's fumble, not penalties killing 80% of our first half drives, not the blocked and missed field goals, none of that. The next week, we all talk about how much better the offense is moving with Dalton even though both weeks accounted for 19 first downs..but I digress.

If we can say that Jameis with a broken back and ruptured tendon got benched for performance reasons when putting these stats up:

But at the same time, say that Derek Carr didn't get benched for performance when he started the season like this:

(not too different)

And ended the season like this:

So can you tell me, with a straight e-face (lol), that Derek Carr's play on the field didn't warrant any benching?
