Plus the long ball just disappeared from his repertoire.
The 9th game of 2004 was against Indy and Carr threw 3 bad INT's - after that it was like the offense shut down.

I think the league went to school on how the Colts were defensing Carr (basic cover-2 shell). Playing cover 2 forces the QB to throw to the middle of the field, and Carr was never able to do that consistently. Whether it was his sidearm motion, or that he just couldn't anticipate when a receiver would come open, or both, the cover 2 was Carr's kryptonite.
