Saints and Carr deal released $150M over 4 years $100M fully guaranteed
You’re also ignoring that Jameis put up numbers in garbage time in the Carolina loss. Which, since his 2022 stats are such a small sample size, skews it more than is representative of his actual performance.
Carr is much better in a system like what the Saints run. The one Winston ran well with Payton calling the plays in 2021 and then ran very poorly in 2022.
Was it the injury? Was it the loss of Payton? Either way, the film showed what it showed. And the same coaches he struggled with in 2022 are coming back, too.
I know you’re a big Jameis fan. Hopefully he does well somewhere else. But making it seem like his benching was related to something other than how poorly he played just doesn’t fly when you turn in the film of those games.
Who said Carr didn’t get benched for performance? He Cleary didn’t perform well enough in McDaniels’ system. It’s a system much different than he operated in in the past and it didn’t work.
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.
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 play on the field didn't warrant any benching.
