The only garbage time stats Jameis has based on standard garbage time metrics (4th quarter down 2+ TDS) was during the Bucs game. Also, if it is such a small sample size, how do we use that to determine performance, especially when Derek Carr's numbers wasn't that far off. Makes you wonder.
I'm a big fan of Jameis' ceiling but that's besides the point. How can we say that Jameis ran an offense well with one coach and bad with another and what we see on tape is what we have but then turn around and say that coaching held Derek Carr back and ignore everything that tape shows us? Derek Carr played poorly to start the season and poorly to finish it.
Tape was out there for both.
He's ours now and let's just hope DA/PC can actually make this work
I did say that, and it's really simple. He was benched because a) he and McDaniels were never on the same page and b) money. That is all. The performance was mostly fine.
And fwiw, I felt the same way about Jameis getting the short end of the stick. Injuries derailed him more than performance. But Jameis needs the right coach calling plays. Payton was better than he got credit for.
I think Carr will be a better fit in the Saints offense than the Raiders. Pretty safe bet imo.
