re: I have to admit, I think we crushed the offensive staff hirings

Play action, play action, play action.

Carr was 2nd in the league in completion % on play action throws in 2023. We just never committed to it.

The hope is he can have a Matthew Stafford type ascent. That is really lofty don’t get me wrong, but not impossible.

did a deep dive on play action passing via Pro Football reference with Carr and the playoff NFC teams for a shorter comparison instead of using AFC QB's as well for last season.

First up Carr:

87 attempts for 813 yards

Purdy- 93 attempts for 969 yards
Goff- 151 attempts for 1,415 yards
Love- 113 attempts for 1,105 yards
Mayfield- 95 attempts for 728 yards (Tampa struggled to run)
Stafford- 97 attempts for 1,013 yards
Prescott- 100 attempts for 613 yards
Hurts- 81 attempts for 646 yards
