Great article on Derek "the franchise" Carr.
Im sure Carr Lovers (zuby, jumpboy, iceboy, stillin hating) will ignore the proof and focus on his great attitude, useless arm strength and potential... those rascals lol
View media item 1287227Carr wisely doesn't throw to his No. 1 option, but he missed his second option deep left and picked up only a few yards on the pass short left. A big play was left on the field.
View media item 1287228Defender kept eyes on Carr and was quick to react to short pass, but he was out of position to cover seam route which would have resulted in a large gain.
View media item 1287230Lest you think this was a problem exclusive to the game against the Rams, here’s an example from Carr’s best game of the season against the San Diego Chargers earlier this year. In this case, Carr targets his well-covered No. 1 option and never makes it to his second read over the middle who was wide open for a first down.
There are dozens of examples of Carr either forcing the ball to his first read or taking a short completion underneath and not enough examples of him moving through all his progressions to find the open receiver.
Carr is hoping his top option is open and when he isn’t, he’s checking it down for a short gain. This comes at the expense of a second and third receiver who may be open on a play. Take away Carr’s No. 1 option, and he’s in trouble.

Waits for Carr lovers to give valid arguments for why Carr is awesome.
