For anyone who says Carr is just a stat padder and don’t win:

Exactly…these past few seasons have been a masterclass on just how important supporting cast and coaching staff are on a QB. We have seen several QBs that were deemed busts as of late suddenly become good once they found a spot where all things aligned for them.

Stafford years ago, now Darnold, Mayfield, Geno, hell even Bryce Young has suddenly figured things out under Canales and his system.

Young’s success can MAYBE be attributed to experience, but these guys didn’t suddenly figure out how to play football again, no, they just found the right circumstances to thrive.

Carr has certainly not had that most of his career, except for that brief moment where he had prime Michael Crabtree, a young Amari Cooper and Coach Gruden on his way to finishing third in MVP voting and going to the playoffs.

Nice post, I mostly agree with it.....Carr is really the least of the problem with this team right now and if we release him then our only option (assuming we don't draft a QB) is Rattler, who may not be ready or another high priced marginal QB who probably isn't as good as Carr....

At this point, I really don't see the downside in keeping Carr around for one more year....
