Baldy’s Breakdown: Derek Carr/Saints offense vs. Chiefs (1 Viewer)

[Sumdude34]

Carr's movement in the pocket has changed everything. Our Oline no longer has to build a wall like they did for other QBs. They just have to clear an opening and Carr will do the rest.

It's so good to see this young man developing and coming into his own. The coaching staff has done a great job with him. So many fans gave up on him because he wasn't awesome as a rookie. People want instant gratification with everything in this modern world and football is no exception. If a rookie doesn't come in and look great then he's a bust and he needs to be traded asap.

I'm old enough to remember the days when it was common for rookies to struggle. Sometimes it would take two or three years before they were ready to start. Some 5 star recruits aren't ready to start until their Jr year. Some 1st round picks aren't ready to start until year three. In fantasy people would keep an eye on WRs going into their third season. Year three was the breakout year for a lot of them.

What changed? Why are people so eager to label young players busts? It seemed like people were actively rooting for Ruiz to fail because the Saints didn't draft their draft crush. They had Ruiz going in the late 2nd in their mock draft v8.0.

You mean how Bresee is a bust after one preseason game? lol

Carr is SOOOOOOOO much better than what we had last year and what we have this year.

But but but Carr is supposed to be so bad in the redzone

Love to see his progressions and reading through them. Let’s hope Pete continues calling a nice game and when the real bullets are flying we are executing to almost perfection.

One of my favorite Carr throws was to Thomas, it looked effortless on Carr’s end, was put in a spot where only Thomas could catch it, and Thomas showed his ability to bring it in with a defender on him.

"He's got his man down to the ground eating grass".

"Watch the violent hands of Ruiz, BAM!".

Love Baldy's quotes

Just one slight, respectful correction:

"He's got his man down to the ground eating s....grass."

That little hesitation in his voice cracked me up

I've always liked baldy. Wish he had played for us.

As long as I don't have see that finger.

Meh, Carr is no Andy Dalton……..lol

Does Baldy do these for all teams, several teams, or does he have some kind of connection to the saints?

Thanks.

Nice to see that Carr's first read was taken away in the end zone, and he progressed to the next receiving option for a score.

Good stuff on the "first ever drive".

That play was very impressive. One Carr didn’t force it to CGM. He didn’t throw it up and expect Thomas to fight it out for the ball. Two he waited for the play to develop. He knew Kirkwood would be breaking behind Thomas. Instead of panicking that Thomas was covered he waited for Kirkwood to get open then made a great throw. He made it look easy.

Carr doesn't get happy feet, he just glides. Winston gets nervous and will force it in a heartbeat. Myself, I'd roll the dice with Haener and trade Winston.

Yes, all teams. No connection to the Saints.

He works for the NFL Network & is also an analyst.

The difference in QB play this year is not going to be as great this year as everyone expects. Not because Carr isn't a better QB but because Dalton is a better QB than he's given credit for. Dalton was exactly what we needed at the time. Hard to look good when you're working a practice squad O Line and WRs. We're just lucky Olave and Rashid showed up.

I think it's going to be a huge difference because Carr is built to run the WCO. Dalton can certainly run it but nowhere near the same level as Carr.
