Quote:Someone posted in another thread a breakdown of how the various perceived top tier guys did and Carr's stats against pressure were alarmingly bad. In addition he was throwing tons of checkdowns and screens and didn't do well going down the field at all.

 

Now does that mean he can never be a good QB? I can't say anyone is ever worth writing off if they have the physical tools to actually make the throws, but the results for Carr against pressure and actually throwing NFL passes were shockingly bad. He really does look to be another Gabbert, but without the ideal size.

 

 

edit: Ahh, here's that thread. http://jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/top...wgraphics/

It was the @NU_Gap charting from the RW article a few weeks ago. We talked about it then w/ a forum topic too. It's a really good breakdown, but unfortunately it leaves a ton of context out...particularly for Carr. Like how the screen passes were essentially Fresno's run game, so naturally that's going to skew the %s to all quadrants. Also, Carr had by a good margin the lowest snap to sack time among the 4 (I saw the exact times in a tweet but forget where, sorry) because he was being protected by a line that is literally worse than some high school lines out there. 

 

And no I'm not knocking Greg at all he's one of my favorite follows and does great charting work, but even he admits it's, again, just a piece of the evaluation puzzle and by itself doesn't mean a whole lot.
