Porky said:I'm not only talking about holding the ball too long. He has zero pocket presense. Want an example? Okay, in the last set of downs on the last drive against Jax. I forget if it was 2nd or 3rd down. Carr drops back, and has plenty of time. Holds the ball, and his first read is apparently not open, (which is debatable in itself, as guys have to be wide open, or he won't throw to them) He starts to think about taking off running (there was still no real pressure on him, he has his usual happy feet) and he starts running to his right, looking like a panicked deer being chased by a hunter, which takes him right into two pass rushers, and he is sacked.
Hmmm, would that be in the things I saw due to preconceived notions Jags game? Carr was touched on two plays in the last drive--once at 2:46 on 1st & 10 when Wand gets roasted and Carr without moving has the ball knocked out of his hand--Bruener quickly recovered the ball because he was laying on the ground behind his man who is about to hit Carr. The 2nd time occurs at 1:11 on 3rd & 4 when Wade and Wells allow the LDE and a LB to pincer into the backfield. Evidently the deer you are familiar with (by the way who hunts deer by chasing them?) only panic one or two steps, because Carr steps forward into the pocket to allow Wade and Wells more room to deal with their guys--they still don't get it done and he is hit from behind and sacked.
I blame about half the sacks on Carr.
If those were definitions of sacks that were Carr's fault, then you should probably go ahead and blame them all on Carr.
He isn't at all "instinctive", and the coaches trust him so much they even let him audible from a running play designed to go right, to one designed to go left. Maybe by his 10th season, they will let him feed himself, and change his own diapers too.
It is hilarious IMO that anyone who thinks the coaching staff should be fired would use the coaches judgment as an indication of anything. These coaches also have Bradford as a starting WR, put Riley at LT, let pro-bowler Foley go as not talented enough for the team. Yeah, I am going to rely on what they think.
