Quote:When you say Derek Carr had a bad game, are you paying attention to what his receivers do? Were some so-called bad throws really miscommunication? Were any passes dropped or deflected?

I think if you break down his performance, He went 29-54, of those, no question there were some dropped balls, miscommunication on some of his fade balls, poor back shoulder throws, poor route running, and in some instances his receivers were just outplayed at the line of scrimmage. He also faced pressure in the first half.



But he threw it 54 times and only averaged four yards per completion. Lots of his completions were off of quick and bubble screens . Some of his passes in the first half when faced with pressure were off the mark.


I think that there was equal blame to go around, but he certainly was not an exception to the overall bad play.


Yes this is just one game. But as I mentioned earlier, i worry a bit about the system he has to play in and what he does not have to do, that he will be required to do next year.
