Jake Peetz made Derek Carr a good QB. And the MVP favorite when he was in Oakland.

Jake Peetz was going to be Josh McDaniels OC in Indianapolis before Josh changed his mind on them.

Considering people in the NFL want Carr to get “back to that level” like 2015-2016. I would say so.

Max Johnson is gonna make any OC look good. Just watch.

Who the fook is this guy-Connor McGregor

How do we know for sure he was a big contribution to Carr's development? Any history of him doing that elsewhere? Comments from the coaches/players? Or is it just attributing it to his success by seeing he was there when it happened. Big difference.

I don't think Derek Carr was an MVP favorite.

What are u talking about? He literally was the mvp front runner before he got hurt...

Peetz may turn out to be an excellent OC. But the lengths some of you are going to make it out like this is a 100% home run hire are absurd

Many of you don’t know about this. But in 2016 Peetz was assistant QB coach for the Oakland Raiders. In 2016 as the season went on Carr turned into the MVP favorite for the Entire league.
Carr didn’t win the award ultimately because he had injury problems than broke his fibula later that season.

He was injured late in the second to last game of the season and finished a VERY distant 3rd in the MVP voting (6 votes) behind Matt Ryan (25 votes). And it would not have matter even if he didn't get injured. Ryan threw for 1000 more yards; had 10 more TD's and had a six point hire completion %. The last two seasons have been Carr's best as a pro, having a 4-5 point hired QB rating than his 2016 season. shite, using Derek Carr as the barometer it appears LSU may have hired the wrong "senior offensive assistant." Is the Raiders current senior offensive assistant available? Did we we ask him?!!!

Again, Peetz could and hopefully will be a tremendous OC. He's never been one, nor called plays, so none of us can say with any degree of certainty whether he will or won't be. But suggesting that a "senior offensive analyst" may have been the biggest reason for Carr's success (it couldn't have been the fact Carr, by that point had more experience as a NFL QB, right?) is hysterical

How about we just give the guy his shot to prove his ability come next fall rather than try to nuance stats and leap to absurd conclusions to "prove" why he will be the greatest OC in LSU history...or worst OC in LSU history

*sigh* I never once said Peetz would be a good hire or “homerun hire”. Never said he would be a bad one either. I listed stats of what he accomplished with Carr when he was there.

No. You listed Derek Carr's accomplishments and suggested (insinuated) Peetz was/may have been a big reason for that...with no evidence/justification for that opinion other than he just happened to be the "senior offensive assistant" at that time.

Peetz was promoted to "QB coach" in 2017 and Carr had one of his worst seasons as a pro. If Peetz gets the "credit" for 15-16, shouldn't he get the "blame" for 17?

Point being, the causation argument is silly...in either direction

I mean Carr came off a pretty bad injury.
I will give him (Peetz) the benefit of the doubt there.

And it’s not a silly argument because I’m not making an argument. What am I arguing? I said Peetz made Carr into a good QB/ MVP favorite which is all true.

It’s just stating what Carr did with Peetz. And that he was pretty successful when Peetz was there. Kinda Blossomed him.

And if I’m remembering correctly didn’t the Raiders have a bunch of key injuries that season? I remember Carr carrying a short handed team and still getting them into playoff contention causing big optimism for the following year.
