Bad talent evaluation for backup OLine.I disagree, Carr wasn’t the problem yesterday. The man has zero time compared to most NFL qbs and still makes plays.

So, you're just going to discount the first 2 games of the season before the injuries started piling up and the next 2 that were competitive?I mean this is the starting OL outside of McCoy and McGovern was a 9 year vet starting at Center and he has started the last 5 games. And Ram is effectively no longer on the team. He would have retired in the offseason but stayed on the injured list and will retire in the next offseason to help the Saints' cap.

Carr looked really good behind that o-line and looks not so good behind this one. What changed? The o-line changed completely because of injuries. That's what changed.
Its true that a sack caused by an olineman being blown up shouldn't be on the Qb's. So its not a perfect measure. But i do like that the QB is being looked at as potentially being the issue for getting multiple sacks. In the past the QB wouldn't get any blame.In response to the edit. I think all that shows is that some sacks are the fault of the QB and others aren't. So I think if you want to have a QB stat for sacks, you need to look at each sack individually and decide if it was the fault of the QB or something else. Otherwise, I don't think treating sacks as a QB stat is really a useful analytical tool. Put another way, not getting sacked a lot doesn't make you a good QB, but it is true that lots of good QBs don't get sacked a lot. But, I don't think the stat itself tells the full story.
There are times that a QB gets hit from the blind side where he can't get rid of the ball. And there are times when a QB should move up in the pocket or roll out to make a play to avoid a sack instead of just throwing it away. Sometimes that move ends up in a sack, but I think you would rather that than a guy just throwing it away every time he feels pressure.
So while sure some sacks are the fault of the QB, not all of them are because as I said some are caused by scheme, play call, play design, missed assignment, OL getting beat, etc. and can not be avoided. It's why we now have advanced stats on how long a QB holds the ball and how much time he has to throw. It's because not all sacks are equal and not all sacks are solely the fault of the QB which is why I don't think it's right to call it a QB stat. And on the other side, a lack of sacks isn't necessarily because the QB is good. It could be that you just run the ball a lot, use a lot of quick passes, you have a great OL, or the QB is throwing the ball away too early.
And FWIW, some people also think wins and losses are QB stats to and I disagree with that for similar reasons.
Thanks for posting this clip Rouxble. It's admittedly easy for me to write this from a 30,000 ft view, but there's a potential void for Carr to step into. However he panics with the outside collapsing pressure.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.

FWIW, Kamara has the second most targets (20) on screen passes this year, only one target behind Achane for the Dolphins.I don't think this offense throws enough screens to Kamara. It's the perfect play call to offset a blitz and Kamara is just about as good as Pierre Thomas was at screens. USE IT.
Yes and no.Qb sacks are a QB stat, so Carr deserves credit.
McCoyWhen 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!!!
I liked the other kid too Austin. Was catching some passes.Right? And before about 2:00 or whenever it was into the game, I had no idea what the initials MVS were.
Yeah because if he threw to where FM was he would have gotten killed and MT and half this board would be spouting " Hospital Ball" SMHPart of this comes from playing with receivers that know how to adjust routes
And practicing enough so qb and receiver see the same thing and read it the same
The pass to FM that seemed behind him near the end zone on the first drive I think it was
Carr read for 87 to sit down but 87 kept running
Deuce stated after the play that Carr wanted him to stop as to not run him into the defender
DC also drifts slightly to the right , could be because Saldiveri was about to get beat to the left. Yes TP got driven back from an edge rusher with a running start but he did gain control of the rusher and pushed him back.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.
