“had”, not has.

His intangibles were abysmal.

Everyone knows this around the league, he’s done.

Reports were that both Cincy and Indy reached out to him last year after their starters went down with injuries. Kellen Mond said that the Vikings wanted Carr back in 2023, so if there is any smoke to Minnesota looking at him now, it would make sense.

quote:

---

for the games he was targeted much less this year and the offense is different.

---

Lawrence targeted him as much this season as last. The thing is though that Mac Jones peppered him with double-digit targets every game down the stretch last year after Lawrence got put on IR.

quote:

---

He got this team to .500 last year when he started with no receivers and Dennis Allen as the coach. That’s quite a feat.

---

Carr was saddled with horrible defenses while in Oakland. He darned near turned Hunter Renfrow into Michael Thomas in 2021 though on route to making the playoffs.

He probably will play, but there is certainly a rational argument to be made in regard to Shough and the team for why he should sit.

From the meme thread on the Politics board

The then 3-12 Raiders travelled halfway across the country through two time zones, walked off the plane 12 hours before kickoff, and proved themselves superior to this Saints team. The Bucs could play with their eyes closed and still probably cover the spread.

It's hard to access him with this on-line, but he doesn't look good. Nothing looks good right now. The run game is just as terrible. I stopped watching in the 2nd quarter.

Kamara averaged 6.7 ypc yesterday.
Miller averaged 5.3.
Taysom averaged 5.0.

In college. Not the nfl. The average is 74%. Grupe was below average all season. 81% average verses the league average of 84%. That's the difference between a game or two.

It absolutely is for the good to great fg kickers in the league. Unless you want to bullshite to me that Grupe is good you don't know shite about NFL football.

You are a bonafide football idiot. No one with a football IQ over 50 refers to a 46 yard FG, not to mention an outdoors one, as a chip shot. That is reserved for short FGs, which 46 yards is definitely considered not.

Why Is It Called A Chip Shot?

The reason that a short field goal was given the name chip shot is because of its similarities of a golfing chip shot.

When a golfer puts his ball close but not onto the green he must then chip the golf ball. When chipping a golf ball the golfer will only swing his club roughly a quarter of the way through his backswing.

Since the distance to the green is so short the player does not need to utilize a full swing. Additionally, the flight of chips is often a short high arching shot.

There are even golf clubs called “chippers” the create a short high flying shot with only a light swing of the club.

This is almost identical to the situation field goal kickers find themselves in on short field goals. They are not quite in the endzone so only a small amount of yardage is required.
Yet they still need to raise the ball above the defenders in order for it not to be blocked. To do this the kicker will hit a short but high arching kick through the uprights.

How Short Is A Chip Shot Field Goal?

Though there is no set distance on how long a chip shot field is it is safe to say it must be roughly twenty-five yards or less.

A backup quarterback..

Exactly. They had a much higher priced backup QB last season who couldn't hold on to a 17 point lead. Peterman is a guy who could not hold on to it for much cheaper. :lol:
