Carr is forced to throw too early on nearly every passing down.
Haener and Rattler were running for their lives more often than not.
Just my 2 cents

This is the result of our getting spoiled with Brees whom could speed read defenses. His arm/body gave out toward the end. Of the three QBs we have, Haener is probably the fastest reader, then Rattler, then Carr.... then our former QB Jameis.

Carr tends to force it in sometimes ill advised, or he won't throw the WR open or in a manner that will allow the receiver to get lots of YAC. Haener did good in the first outing on a long ball, but missed a wide open throw a couple of times in game two. Rattler looked rattled in game 2.

This is the reality of the current Saints team.
