Carr’s career td per season average is 24. He’s on close pace for it. Matt ryan, big Ben, Eli Manning, Dak Prescott, matt Stafford are examples of qb’s whose average tds per year are in the mid 20’s (24/25/26).

The problem with macro comparisons like this is you are counting guys who played many more seasons and most fall off at the end, also some did not play full seasons. Dak played 5 games in 2020, take that year out and he’s at 27 for example.

Compare their peak seasons. Carr has thrown more than 30 TDs once (32) and over 25 twice (28,27) Ryan has 3 over 30 (38,35,32) Stafford has 2 with 41. Dak has 3 over 30 and he’s 2 years behind Carr plus missed 3/4 of 1
Carr has 4 4000 yd seasons only 1 over 4200. Ryan threw for 4000 10 years in a row His lowest total was 4177 that would be Carr’s 2nd best season. Stafford had 7 straight over 4200 including a 5000 season. At their peaks all the guys you listed are easily better than Carr

Career passer rating for those involved...
Ryan - 93.6
Ben - 93.5
Eli - 84.1
Dak - 98.7
Carr - 92.0
Stafford - 91.0

I think these are all good comparisons for carr. Stafford esp. with stafford taking more chances (tds and ints).

Actually none of those guys “fell off a cliff” in any way that changes their career averages of tossing in the mid 20’s tds per season. No

Joe Flacco won the Super Bowl. Also a mid tier probably averaged around 20 tds a year or so.
