Hmm, anybody notice that David Carr played Well

He was crisp and accurate with his passes and was getting them out quickly with no hesitation. He was going thru his check downs and audiblizing at the line. Sure he got sacked twice but those were on his line because we were back there as fast as he was. Looks like Caughlin has settled him down and improved his technique...

Actually, I think he showed the same old problems. Like always, he holds on to the ball way too long, and when things start to break down, he panics.

Yeah there were times last night when I wished he was our backup again. Of course, he would suck under our scheme like he did when he was here. It's a coaching thing for sure....but he did look like a solid backup.

He still showed some of his bad habits but he does look a lot better. He needed to ride the bench when he was here and now he's getting his chance. But I doubt he'll ever get to a point of being able to start for a team.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
