That hamstrings any QB not allowing them to get that definitive read on the defense. Offenses from the Shanahan/Kubiak tree design led the entire league in pre-snap motion. If we had even a halfway competent play designer and/or playcaller we would have easily won an additional two to three more games, walked away with the NFC South, hosted a home playoff game, and had a chance to do some damage.

We have one of the best defenses in the league and it will only get better with an offense that can spend more time on the field.

Who Dat!!


Again, Carmichael was in way over his head. JMO.
Having Kubiak here gives me optimism for this offense. Hopefully he can get results out of Carr and others that Carmichael just didn’t have the ability to do. If he doesn’t then that begs the question, did we misjudge on Kubiak or is Carr as bad as a lot of people say he is? Only time will tell.

Yeah. Also, I for one don't get the narrative that some have that Carr is bad. Even while crippled by Carmichael's play design and calling he still managed to have the 6th highest completion percentage, 12th in TD %, tied for 3rd lowest interception %, 10th highest passer rate and 7th lowest sack rate among other respectable numbers. He had the 10th most TD passes in the league and 21 other starters threw more picks than his eight. It's like some people are so lazy they judged him before he ever took a snap as a Saints QB. But, haters are gonna hate.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those who thinks he’s the worst QB since Ryan Leaf. He’s put up some good numbers in his career. I agree with Rez, there are concerns but they are overblown. I think with proper coaching and a good offensive line we could see a different Carr. Getting the O-line in order will be key.
