Derek Carr was a top 10 QB in 2023
If your QB sucks but the rest of the team is good, your ceiling is 11-6.
If your QB sucks and your OL is awful but every thing else is good, a team is like lucky to be 9-7.
If a QB sucks, the OL is awful, AND the OC is trash, your team is 8-9 at best. Probably 7-10.
If the QB sucks, the OL is awful, the OC is trash, AND the HC is pathetic, the team is going to top out at 5-12. I mean, really that team is 3-14.
People get so hyperbolic with their whine. It can't be all of the above. We were good enough that some of those weren't the problem. I'm of the mindset that Carr and DA and good to great. We've got our new OC.....just fix the OL and replace anything we lose in the off-season and I'm happy.
