One of the biggest flaws I see on the Offensive side of the ball (1 Viewer)

I believe the issues that the OP states is due to the system they Klint Kubiak runs. He basically calls a play and that’s the play to be ran. There is very little in audibles to be called.
Carr is as his best when he runs the offense from the line like Drew and Peyton Manning had the freedom to do. Gruden gave him this freedom and Derek was very good in getting the offense into the correct play. This is just the OC wanting control over every aspect of the offense.

That's not entirely true. DC has every chance to audible if he sees something and has done so. Last yr PC treated DC like he would DB and it didn't work out so well.
It's not KK wanting total control of the O it's taking as much off the QB so he can concentrate on execution . It puts more on the O coaching staff.
It's how QBs like Purdy and Darnold have been successful

It has been multiple drafts we entered in dire need of a competent tight end and young qb prospect, talent evaluation is lacking big time on the offensive side of the ball.

We have 2 young QB prospects in the most QB friendly systems in the league. Talent evaluation on the O side is not a real problem except maybe Saldiveri . Since 2020 we have only had 5 offensive picks in the 1st 3 rnds. Fuaga . Olave . Penning,Miller and Ruiz . Which one of those are bad picks?

Bad talent evaluation for backup OLine.

Not evaluation, but they had to add guys from the scrap heap because of salary cap issues

The intentional grounding happened when top rated RT Penning was driven all the way into Carr’s lap, no one blitzed on that play. Kamara was open as the check down, but Penning was driven so far back that Ruiz’ pass rusher blocked off an escape to the right.

That's why you step up in the pocket.

Though I see your point, in real time it appears right decision, but two things I noticed.

Penning did eventually establish his anchor, Carr panicked prior to Penning stopping the defenders momentum. He could have stepped up into the pocket. Penning had the defender locked up as far as grip strength

Now having watched this about 10 times, I can only say that Penning is a big, strong dude.

That DE hit him square in the chest and he moved 2 yards and then stoned him. He overpowered him from an out of position stance and off balance. If he could get his mechanics to a higher state he'd be a perennial all pro.

Gone are the days of reaching for the Rick Leonard types at least, thank heavens.

I don't equate a 4th round pick that didn't work out as "reaching".....

When the Falcons or any team blitzes against the Saints so far this season, I don't think it's handled well at all. Most of it I'll put on Carr. There were times yesterday he would change the play because I assume he saw a blitz coming. Yet when he gets the snap he seems indecisive, rolls out of the pocket and heaves the ball out of bounds. He ended up getting an intentional grounding call doing something like that late in the game. My thing is when the Falcons blitzed they were leaving the middle of the field WIDE OPEN!!! Yet no receiver was schemed to take advantage of that. If I could see that from my tv, you telling me no one could see that on the field!!!

McCoy was a major reason Carr was able to "play more Free" in the 1st two games. Carr had less responsibility at the LOS w/ McCoy identifying certain things pre-snap. His return isn't going to solve all our problems on offense, but it'll help a significant porition of it. MVS established himself as a potential playmaker along the perimiter that could help make up for the loss of Shaheed, but someone else needs to step up among the new look WR group.

Getting Miller back would help open Alvin up as an additional receiver more often.

A back-peddling qb is recipe for disaster

That's why you step up in the pocket.

Look where the LG's and the C's legs are when DC plants his back foot at the end of his drop, and tell me how he's supposed to step up in the pocket

He dropped too far initially and instead of stepping up and to the left he got washed.

Stop defending it.
