Has the Carr family hired you to be PR manager or something? You’re making excuses for an almost 10 year vet like he’s a rookie. And there’s no bias against him from me, I was on here quite happy when we signed him. Difference is I’ll happily admit when I’m wrong.

We all know there have been too many instances of receivers being bunched together but it’s happened a couple of times a game not every snap, so no that isn’t a good example of why he holds onto the ball too long. It also doesn’t explain his wild inaccuracy on throws to open receivers or just not seeing them. Another thing, we never saw this issue with bunched receivers last season and Carmichael was OC then so why the sudden difference?

As for the part about not being liked, I was referring to Michael Thomas live tweeting during games taking shots at Carr and McCoy losing his sh*t which we’ve never seen before.

On a separate note, Carr lacks football IQ. His explanation for the Bates pick 6 confirms that. A 10 year NFL vet who doesn’t know what the job of a free safety is. Would be hilarious if he was on any other team. Best bit about that play is, according to Underhill, the exact same thing happened in practice the week before.

Ok, so he's a mediocre QB on his second team because he wasn't good enough on his first team. Was that supposed to make the Saints a winner? How was he supposed to come improve what we were also terrible at last year? How was he supposed to overcome bad play design and play calling? How come nearly nobody else on this team has shown an ounce of improvement under these coaches?

So it's not excuses for Carr, it's setting the record straight about who he is, what the expectation should have been and who is responsible for it. The answers are that he is a mid QB, the expectation should have been roughly Dalton level play and who is responsible for it and much much more are the coaches and the GM. He's not stealing money here. He's being paid market value for a mid QB. That his contract is hard on the team because THEY missed on a free agent signing and manage the cap in a completely inflexible way is a problem of THEIR own making, it's not on Carr.
