2. Carmichael is worse.

I’m not so sure about that. And I think Pete is atrocious and can’t wait for him to be gone. But I heard a NFL offensive 3 and Outs stat this week (it was either on local BR radio or a Saints podcast, but they were reading a list off a site, so I assume it’s accurate, but didn’t verify it myself).

The Steelers have gone 3 and Out on 48% of their drives. Worst in the NFL. That is aggressively bad. It’s the Will Ferrell Anchorman “I’m not even mad” meme bad. You would almost have to go out of your way to try NOT to get at least 1 1st down every other drive. The Saints 3 and Out percentage was somewhere in the 20s. I’m not sure where that ranks relative to the rest of the NFL (I wanna say it was top 10ish because it was used as the 1 glimmer of hope for their offense, but not sure).

Regardless, the Steelers are twice as bad. I know that’s just 1 stat, but I was blown away by it. Like I said, that is aggressively atrocious. It’s so bad that I think it mitigates any personnel advantages the Saints may have. They both suck, but give me Carmichael over Canada.
