Unfortunately I don’t believe that our franchise currently has any clue or plan as to how to find our “long term” answer at QB 😂
Carr has and always has been a middle of the road, definition of mediocrity of a QB. He looks the part and has some arm talent but I just don’t think he will ever have Drew Brees like ability to watch film, breakdown opposing defenses and retain that information and apply that to a game plan installation.
I know that I’ve had to readjust my expectations of that position since Drew retired. Not just Drew but as much as I hate to admit it guys like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were just on a whole different mental level at processing the game at the QB position which is why they are HOFs. They were perfectionists, their drive, work ethic, leadership, skill set, and rare ability to break the huddle 90% of the time and already know how the opposing defenses were aligned was just amazing.
I think that there’s some talented QBs playing right now: Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, Jackson, Allen. But I don’t think that they process the game the same way that Brees, Brady or Manning did at least not yet. I think all of them have more athletic ability though.
All I know is I wouldn’t want to be an NFL scout trying to find the next Brees, Brady, Mahomes, Burrow, or any of those guys.
