You can't cut Carr next year, so who can fix him?

But the root of it all still lies in a single place


Who laid it all at the feet of Carr. McDaniels is a great OC but horrible people person, like most from the Belichick tree, but everything points to Carr's performance being a problem. I believe that the system was too complex for him to get in a season because he has played in a particular type of offense since coming into the league. JT O'Sullivan said that coming from a WCO, everything about that system is foreign. And keeping it real, I've been one of the only ones honest about his actual history...from the jump.


But to answer the overarching question, fixing Carr would be realizing that he was never a good fit for this system. If DA is to stay another year, tell Pete it's been real but he can now go enjoy Denver and see if we can kick the tires on Musgrave.
McDaniels isn't a great OC, he coached the best QB in NFL history. A good OC would build a system that wasn't too complex for the most important position on the field. They would build one that suited that player. McDaniels thinks he's great and isn't. Gruden designed a system that fit Carr and Carr had his best years in the NFL as a result.

Your last point is actually really good. He isn't a good fit for a system that they won't alter to fit the players they have. That was literally the reason they had Gruden come in during camp, to help them fix that. Unfortunately, that died when he left the building and Pete went back to what he knows. Which IS the problem we've had with all of the QBs over the last two years. A refusal to adjust to the players we have, and coaching as though we have the players we want.
