A microcosm of Winston’s career

I am not saying to start Jameis and while yes it was definitely encouraging to see the offense doing better with Carr for a couple of games there.. I think the struggles before and then after those games probably speaks towards the odds of Carr being able to sustain success here, at least with this coaching staff.

Look, we were sold the idea that Carr was essentially the missing piece in lifting this offense and this team to a higher level than we've seen the past couple of seasons. And thus far it just has not worked out that way.

Agree on the first line. They don't do a good job of getting him settled with easy throws early on and Pete moves away from the run way too often in drives. The fact that AK was destroying them up front and we didn't see PA was insane. The coaching staffs gameplan to start the games have been abysmal. Their 2nd half adjustments, though, show me they can put something together to blow this thing open for the Saints. Will they? Doubt it, but we've seen they can do it.

I think Carr is lifting the offense from last year. The problem is our defense isn't nearly as dominant as it has been. Our offensive stats are all better than average and are better than last year. We let QB's dominant the first half of a game and expect this team to crawl back. We're not built for that, especially on our OLine.
