Derek Carr has definitely looked more comfortable recently.

Especially considering this O line 3/4 backups

Panthers and the Bucs are both sucking enough to allow us to make a statement right now.

I honestly couldn’t imagine spending so much time bringing so much negativity to a place when it’s obvious I wasn’t a fan. Embarrassing and outright annoying. Just a sad person.

Two things the Saints are missing are accountability and competition. So often the starters don't know they need to improve and the backups are better but don't have a chance to play.

In the case of Carr, Michael Thomas helped hold him accountable on social media when the coaching staff would not on the field, and that feedback really helped him to improve and was a generous brave thing for Thomas to provide.

In the case of the oline, injuries forcing backups to play has actually made the line better, because it has given backups a chance and created competition that would never otherwise occur. Many of our starting oline are replacement level players, but with competition you get a lot more out of replacement level players than if you give one a safe job.
