Good analysis of Carr

Trey W. said
From what I saw last season, Carr struggled on long developing plays where Wr’s had choice routes. You could tell he had to wait and see what break the WR was going to make before he threw the ball, there was very little anticipation and confidence they were seeing the same thing.

On up tempo, hard route plays, Carr seemed to perform better, faster, and got the ball out with anticipation knowing where the WR would be.

I don’t know much about KK’s offensive scheme, but if it’s anything like the 49ers I think Carr will do well. The 49ers offense is all about getting playmakers the ball in space and letting them do their job. Lots of crossing routes, slants, screens, over the middles, etc. I think if Care can drop back in time and let the ball rip, he will do a lot better than last season.

This was something that I made mention of when he first signed. One of Carr's weaknesses is throwing with timing and anticipation and a part of his intermediate throw issues is due to his horrible footwork but honestly, in today's NFL, that is not limited to Carr in the least. That's why the "modern offense" requires less skill from a QB and just require them to be "accurate."

I agree with you 100% in the fact that Carr needs "static" routes and this is one of the key reasons why he struggled with Josh McDaniels. If anyone knows anything about that offense, it is E-P to the core. Each side has a route concept to beat a defense, the QB must read correctly both pre-snap and post-snap, with options and choice routes built into a lot of plays. Looking at the Vikings during Kubiak's season there, I think Carr will do good in the system but it's all about how he picks it up.
