Derek Carr was a top 10 QB in 2023

Regarding the last 5 games of the season, in wins, our defense gave up an average of 10.5 points per game, including 2 games where the opponent didn't score a TD and another where they were held scoreless for 3 quarters. I'm not saying that QB play didn't matter but if we are being honest, he didn't need to do much for these wins..lol.

The offense and defense work off of each other. If a QB has a good handle on the game , he usually doesn’t put the defense in bad spots. Turnovers, clock management, situational awareness, clutch plays all matter more to me than box scores. If that wasn’t the case why even watch the game?

For example if a QB throws a pick 6 , and then gets the ball back and drives 80 yards for a TD it looks ok on a stat sheet, but that’s not at all ok. Also what if the team scores on special teams thereby not allowing the quarterback to put up numbers?
