Maybe it is the only game he's watched.....its also probably the only game Carr's played in that really gave him a real test. Not surprised that he failed it miserably. 

 

Quote:Then you have a very strong short term bias I guess. Carr's ball placement was not good this game, but has been stellar all year long...and he does get antsy footwork at times, but I have never seen him crumble under pressure and he didn't crumble under pressure today either. 

 

A lot easier to have good ball placement with a pristine pocket which Carr had for the majority of his season. You don't get that in the NFL much if ever. 

 

Quote:Derek Carr is no Teddy Bridgewater, obviously, but he's still probably a first-round pick as of now based on his arm talent.

 

I hope Carr is a 1st round pick of any AFC team but us. Let someone else bust with that selection. 

 

Quote:I like that everyone is bringing up the quick bubble screens and short passes that he has been using all year. Against lesser opponents you can run these all days but not against the better college Ds and definitely not against NFL Ds. Once you take away those plays from his aresenal and make him go to the intermediate and long throws his game suffers. Add on his issues under pressure and the fact the aforementioned routes take time to develop and our Oline play this year it just wouldn't work

 

Yep, good post. :thumbsup:
