We have a good team

I'm not seeing the "Good Team". Seriously, we do have good players but I haven't seen a good team. I've seen a team that needs everything to go their way in order to eek out wins. Poor coaching, and poor execution is what I've observed. But that can change. Will it? Time will tell.

I see a group of players that doesn't seem to know what is expected of them. No one seems to be on the same page on offense, and the defense can only cover for the inept offense for so long in a game. Unless an opponent hands over the game with self inflicted wounds like penalties & turnovers, there's very little chance that our offense will outscore the opponent.

What bothers me the most is that Carr looks very confused at the QB position. Maybe all the pressure by the defenses has gotten him rattled beyond what he can overcome. For example, when he makes a decision to throw a pass, he is either very late or far off the mark of giving his receiver a legitimate chance at the catch.

When I saw Carr in that QB Challenge competition, he was the only QB who was dead on with every pass he threw, and he was lightning fast with his decisions. I immediately started wishing that the Saints would make a play for him. But he has looked more like a 7th round rookie than a 4-time Pro Bowl pick. Maybe the schemes our staff is asking him to perform is going against his grain and/or talents. It's like he's trying to recall during the play what the coaches are asking him to do. Maybe he's just better at impromptu football. He sure isn't performing like he has a grasp of the playbook or our general offensive philosophies. :shrug:
