QB come of age

Yeah, but the majority of the times that this happens is when the D- line is all over him and he must get rid of the ball. Our O-line, while steadily improving, still leaves a lot to be desired on pass protection. I mean, have you EVER seen Carr have the kind of time that Plummer, Roethlisberger, Maddox, etc etc has had against us? Even Once?
Better (imo) to hope that your receiver can make a play with the ball in their hands than to try to force something that is not there. Also, the receivers can improve on cutting off their routes before the first down marker.
All in all, I think that Carr has made excellent decisions this year.

A few posts dogging the D-line... while yes, there's room for improvement - how soon we forget the pre-season opener. Did this defense not get to the boys QB a few times... even a 2nd stringer defense?

The Pit game... I'm not even gonna count, a majority of the team didn't show up.

Agree... good call.

Flip side, don't call him Davie Franchise... sounds too close to a basketball player we had in town that didn't impress me on the team aspect.

and if Carr would have roped that one a bit more instead of floating it, I think Bradford would have had a better chance of making the reception.

Exactly what I was saying.
