Carrs 1st Win With Sub 70 Passer Rating

Derek Carr got his 1st career win while having a passer rating under 70 in a game. He had previously been 0-25 in such games.

His 65.5% passer rating in Monday nights game against the Panthers is the worst passer rating he has had in his career while getting a Win.

If you can get a win while posting a sub 70 passer rating I'd say things can only get better. It speaks volumes to the overall team play including the defense playing at a very high level. After a mediocre overall performance in week 2 Carr is still at or near the top in several QB statistics. The one that counts the most is winning. Everyone should be happy about a 2-0 start, no matter what it looks like.
Carr's ability to play "clutch" fooball was talked about b4 the season started ( think he has most comback wins of all active QB's) and it's rang true. That's two games where he hasn't played GREAT, but when there's a play that needs to be made late in the game, he'll make it. That meshes very well with a Dennis Allen defense that has the occasional lapse (like giving up that late TD).

Hopefully he and Carmichael can continue to mesh and they look better in October then Nov
