Interesting Stat Line

That stat comparison is missing context. Carr didn’t complete 2 quarters of one game. He played injured in the following game. Dalton also had a lot of garbage time yards in his 4th start vs Arizona last season.

The pass yards would look like 1550+ vs 1385 if Carr was available and healthy in that 1.5 game stretch against GB and TB. It’s really 1299 in 5.5* (4.5 healthy) starts vs 1385 in 6 starts.

Dalton did have better RZ efficiency through 6 games. We utilized a healthy TE in the RZ a lot more with Dalton. Taysom’s runs also helped Dalton get to inside the 10 a lot.

The pass plays called with Dalton last year doesn’t look the same as the plays for Carr this season. There were more shorter-intermediate routes ran for the first down sticks with Dalton, compared to these nonstop deep vertical routes called with Carr on short downs and out of range for the first down marker.
