Shout out to Derek Carr (2 Viewers)

[DaveXA]

It's from where I think a lot of the distaste for Carr comes.

Probably. People need to adjust their expectations for what a normal Sunday is for an average to above average QB.

Like we could have kept this thread about Carr, and instead Brees is brought up... it's as if people seek out negativity.

Great ball placement for Johnson. Great throw all game.

Brees was brought up as a means of pointing out that Carr is unfairly maligned by the fan base due to having to follow the soon-to-be Hall of Famer. It's actually not about negativity.

Why is it even a thing when they aren't on the same team, situations aren't the same, and both of them played great today? DC4 played a great game today but it's crazy trying to downplay a player accounting for 400 yards of total offense. Let us enjoy this beautiful win.


Facts....been saying for years that we (as a fanbase) suck at QB evaluation because we were spoiled on Drew and even then, we looked at the totality of Drew through tinted shades.

Let's also keep in mind that once Derek Carr's career is over and thoroughly analyzed and reviewed, he'll be remembered as being a far greater, more successful Pro Bowl QB and more efficiently vindicated his first round draft status when juxtaposed to his older brother, David's, runaway train wreck of a career.

Then again, he was drafted as Texans first overall pick as an expansion franchise in 2002 with scant decent players, and Andre Johnson didnt arrive until his second career in 2003, most can sensibly argue David Carr was drafted and put into a position where failure was a near-certainty and he suffered such a beating getting sacked and hit during his stint as Texans' first franchise QB he never recovered his confidence (or another starting job) after Houston released him.

Carr was rocking today against the Browns.

He’s been good all year! I’m shocked at how he’s turned MVS into Shaheed 2.0.

 

[saints4eva]

I know! He played really well.

Could have just said that instead of unnecessarily comparing him to Drew.

I did so to point out how the fanbase's seeming distaste or discomfort with Carr (including mine, when I do it) is unfair.

You know you stop that? You don't bring it into a thread shouting out Carr for a good game. Every Carr thread doesn't need this discussion in it.

Edit: This type of sheet is no different than confronting people about jokes. it is a JOKE... let it just be a joke.

I don't do it in every Carr thread, so crisis averted.

we really have to look at him as an all-time great not easily replicated. When the team had historically terrible defense that couldnt stop rookies, he willed us to no less than 7 wins basically by himself. When the team was complete we ranged 10-6 to 13-3 and a Super Bowl and he pulled off those big win seasons far more often than not.

That said, Derek isnt bad hes just kind of average. He is a step slower than Brees was and it hurts a lot of plays Drew would make routinely. He was just ridiculously fast and efficient at decision making.

I saw nothing in your post about the unfairness of comparing Carr to Drew. It is unfair and completely unnecessary.

But you've since seen the other posts, so you could assume that I'm telling the truth when I tell you what I was doing.

My point stands. It was unnecessary to bring it up period. All you managed to do was derail the thread by interjecting a completely off topic subject.

Edit: Congratulations to Carr on a game well-played
