Derek Carr’s Passing Chart Is ... Interesting. Rarely throws more than 10 yds.

Ehhh, line has been so bad it's hard to attempt many further down field if you don't have the time for the WR's to get that far.

Carr is a qb that has the game to air it out downfield. I get that Gruden is a true west coast guy, but between the new offensively heavy rules and handcuffing Carr, he is trying to jam that square peg into the round hole.

Look at Tom Brady’s

Very few people chucks it 15+ consistently

Oh now you done it.

Ruined GOAT status.

Once people catch on to check-down NFL, pitch and catch...they'll have to go back and rewatch those old 80's NFL films of 20 yard outs...and rethink what they think about all these QBs playing today.

Rich Gannon made a career out of throwing it to the line of scrimmage.

hes got stone hands

He has pretty bad hands. I'm surprised by it too.

He's got one of, if the worst, contested catch % in the league.

After this game:
San Fran 24 sacks in 9 games, T-2nd
Oakland allows 25 sacks in 9 games, 7th

Wonder why they don't go deep? That's why.

if only they still had Mack...






Oh wait.

I'm not surprised by his drops.

He had a ton at Alabama.

The skill is there, is what I'm saying. When I think of stone hands, I think of guys that you can SEE that they have bad hands. They're stiff and you can tell the hand-eye coordination isn't there.

Cooper had drops, but it was overblown. He had 18 drops his rookie year, but only 4 the following year, and people still said he dropped it too much. There were games where Carr only targeted him once or twice a game, and he would be open. Some of that is attributed though to a lack of chemistry and the offensive line playing poor.

Also keep in mind the unimaginative offensive coordinators. Todd Downing pretty much destroyed anything good the offense had going for them.
