Michael Thomas Come Home
I don't hate Carr like some do on here but I will call him out for some bone head throws. He has been making a habit out of that and it is frustrating to see that. Only needed 4 yards and a field goal to win the game.
Exactly, I was watching red zone when I heard Brady saying that so I am only half sure it was in the GB vs. Detroit game (
I gotta admit watching red zone for 8 hours just makes your brain mush) but I just kept thinking about the 4th and 4 play we had.
I am not a giant Brady fan by any stretch but he does offer cool tidbits of info from time to time. The thing that separates a good QB from a poor one is you have to be situationally aware. There is a time to take a risk, a time to play it safe and a time to simply pick up a first down. Whatever you choose to do should fit your situation. That low percentage prayer Carr threw up was something you do on second down not 4th and 4 with the game/season on the line. The only justification maybe for it was he was thinking he saw PI or holding but even if that was just a stupid throw to make. He would have been better off running it, honestly. He might have not gotten it but he had more of a chance on that than the bonehead throw.
I like Carr I think he is a good guy. He has a lot of the tools to be good but sometimes the mental aspects of the game kind of slip with him. Take the I am gonna throw the ball away play in KC that instead of throwing it out of bounds he just throws in the direction of a (very similarly bracketed) double covered WR. Instead of a throwaway its an INT. That just shifted the momentum of that one and it was a simple throwaway.
Bottom line QB is somewhere we have to do something. Carr is a good bridge QB and nothing more. We need to find a true franchise QB. Sadly, I think we are going to be picking in the top 5 for a few years here we need to just start taking QB’s until we find one.
Watching us with Brees and what our life post Brees and moreover watching a lot of games league wide if you don’t have a great QB your going nowhere. Injuries happen it’s a fact of life a great QB is a guy that can make that 4th WR look like a game buster. If you have a crap line a good QB can make quick decisions and get the ball out that hides your flaws on the line.
Also on the original topic I retract my earlier statement Mike Thomas needs to stay on his couch. We are going nowhere this season or the next few we need to develop young guys we have in house or even go digging for young WR’s that are available. Young developmental players should become a mantra.
We are officially in new territory now so it’s time to start behaving like it. This is going to be a long hard road back up the mountain.
