For 14 years you considered Pete Carmichael to be an offensive coordinator so good you predicted his team would go undefeated. Then he gets together with Derek Carr for one year, has what you consider to be the 10th best passing offense in the league (against really bad teams), and you believe Pete Carmichael was never a 'real OC' and Carr will be elite now that we have fixed the offensive line by hiring the passing game coordinator of a team that was much more successful than us at rushing? I hope Kubiak is an upgrade but honestly nobody knows. His 2022 Denver offense was worse than the Saints offense that year. He was an assistant in San Francisco. Carmichael was never a problem until Dennis Allen came in, and the wheels fell off when Dennis Allen brought in his hand picked QB, now Dennis Allen is bringing in his hand picked offensive assistant. Forgive me for not taking for granted Dennis Allen's great judgement of character. I think its honestly quite possible that Carmichael is a better OC than DA is a head coach or Derek Carr is a QB. Only one has a ring in such a role.

There need to be no excuses for DA and Carr this year. Carr can have the first quarter of week 1 to adjust to the new system and then he needs to earn his veteran money and produce. Rookie coaches and rookie QBs are out producing these guys. No more excuses!
