derek carr ranks 25/25 in y/a on the list of qbs that have thrown for over 1500 passes since 2012. look at the people he's behind. i'm a little shocked how bad that is

[KBHoleN1]

But his TD and INT numbers are pretty good, which puts him middle of the pack in rating.

[Gryph]

Evident of Carr having better pocket awareness to be quite fair, considering the bulkhead of the raiders rb corps combined for 83 receptions last year for the 357 completions. Screens, dump offs, etc. I'm curious what those averages would be to other QBs on that list who don't regularly do that if nothing is downfield would look like.

DangerRuss at the top.

It's from Carr's rookie year when the OC wouldn't let him throw down field (because of talent level of the team, James Jones and like Denarius Moore were the top two WR and MJD/DMC was the RB [MJD like 1ypc and DMC was like 3ypc, Murray played the KC game and was awesome, but left hurt]). Just watch any of those games to see it. It's gone from 5.5 his rookie year to 7.0 the last two years. Seven is pretty good given our system as a west coast power blocking team, Favre is 7.1 career for example with a similar offensive scheme. The zone blocking Shanahan/Kubiak/Gibbs type thing usually has a higher Y/A for example Matt Ryan went from 7-7.5 to a 9.3 last year. Matt Schaub was an 8-8.5 under Kubiak/Shanny and went to a 6-7 when he left that system.

[Da Gyps]

Yeah all you have to do is watch Carr to know he is good. Also still super young.

Hey Hulky, wanted to say thank you to the raiders for a good stop gap back.
