Carr started off the season playing a lot better than he has the previous four seasons.
(I know it's very convenient for some people to forget that, also) It was speculated by some, (coaches, pundits, fans, etc.) that if David was given some better protection, then he just might play a little better. Well guess what, (argue with me about this if your game) he did.
Actually, he started the year with a few good stats..... QB rating(which don't account for fumbles) & completion percentage with no better protection than what he recieved in the past........ Philly 4 sacks....... Indy 4 sacks..... Miami 5 sacks...
Then against Dallas, where he was not sacked at all, barely even pressured, he threw the first INT (which wasn'this fault) then the second (which was entirely his fault).
Then on the first possession of the Titans game, he throws into quadrouple coverage...
If that's better than the previous four seasons, I'm so glad I've got this short term memory condition.
Then, as more games were played, the offensive line, due to injuries to (let's name them, shall we . . Charles Spencer, Zach Weigart, Mike Flannigan, Ephraim Saalam) started to . . .regress in performance. But for some reason, yet unexplained, David's performance is now beginning ro regress, after playing a lot better earlier in the season. I'm shocked. Absolutely . . . shhhocked! I just absolutely have no earthly idea why that could be.
I'm shocked that you think his protection was better earlier in the year..... protection wise, with the exception of Spencer/Salaam, every backup player is an upgrade in pass protection. Weary is better than McKinney... Winston is Better than Wiegart....... & Hogdon is better than Flanagan(okay, maybe not better, but he ain't worse).
I'm also shocked, that those earlier games, he played better against a healthy Philly & Indy Defense, but we can't seem to pass on a weathered Buffalo, NYJ, and Oakland(I'll give him a little slack here, but 34 yards?? c'mon) with the same poor protection.
Cheer up, Nighthawk. You'll most likely have plenty of reason to smile on Sunday.
Look, I'll make a prediction.... for the next three weeks, we're going to see a failry confident Carr.... he's going to be decisive with the ball.... he's going to be decisive taking off with the ball... he's going to be decisive about making plays.... he's going to have three typical good Carr weeks.....
But come Dec 31, he's going to nut up against the Browns.....
