This is a solid breakdown of Carr's performance (pre-injury) last Sun.

My key takeaways: 10 weeks into the season, he's still missing OPEN WRs & holding on to the ball entirely too long. The "check down" seems to be what he excels at & pocket presence & awareness are poor.

He's becoming a statue back there. Again, no pocket awareness. As you'll see, AT Perry and Shaheed (13:40) both had TDs that were missed. Makes you wonder what they are seeing & discussing in the film study.

Derek Carr ain't it folks. Let's not forget he was demoted in LV for a reason.

15-minute breakdown but a good assessment

Question: Has he always been like this? Or is he just getting worse? I just don’t understand. He had some good years for the Raiders. How has he regressed so bad?

K Major

No sir. DCarr was a decent QB before landing in NO. But watching him pre snap, I see a lot of confusion & the inability to read a defense. Notice he's still yelling at WRs? Is he capable, sure but right now his lack of pocket presence is going to get him injured ... again.

I'll say this J, having Pete C as his OC & a below average O line isn't helping either. So far, Carr has yet to prove that he was an upgrade over Andy Dalton.

Recurring theme - coaching.

Derek Carr has put up fairly decent stats during his career, but he has never been a player who elevates his team, and we are seeing that first hand watching him in a Saints uniform. His red zone woes and general decision making we are witnessing this year has been a problem throughout his entire career. I totally get blaming the coaching staff, but in reality players need to perform.

Danno

My guess is that with a poor O-line he doesn't get that extra second or two to read the defense. He probably had the time in Oakland.

We got spoiled with Brees's cat-quick reads.

Car needs that Vulcan mind probe thingy with Brees' brain.

ARCH on the horizon... 3 years.... can the Saints obtain the unobtainable?

See, we don’t need inconsistent, decent, okay, not terrible, mediocre people at the helm, including backups, and definitely including the people who COACH these people, unless we want to keep going through this sh*t, week after week, season after season.

cmike

He’s playing like the Raiders QB we shutout 24-0 last season.

I was glad that we signed DC but that may have been premature. He looks like a deer in the headlights on almost every play. I get that his Oline is porous but does that mean he has only a check down option?

K Major

About a 18 minute discussion but worth the listen.
Good to hear Underhill not sugarcoat underperforming play & bad coaching.
