Carr one of those QBs i could see turning it around
There's really nothing to turn around, he is what he is. Last year on a team with a bunch of turmoil and adversity he was solid when they were left for dead, this year they had real expectations and he shrunk.

I don't doubt that if he was in Kirk's spot or Jimmy's spot that he would be solid and win, but you know what it is with that tier of player. It's not the end of the world if they're your QB and in a certain year if the stars align with health and good synergy on the coaching staff maybe you can go all the way - but the ceiling is obvious and they're never gonna impose their will on the game.

Jimmy and Carr gonna be getting wined and dined and courted by a bunch of teams. :heh:
Definitely.

A team like the 9ers hit the ceiling with that tier of QB so that's why they took their swing at a talent like Lance (same with the Chiefs and Smith/Mahomes). But a team like the Jets who hasn't been shyt for a decade and has a roster ready to go would welcome them with open arms right now. They'll worry about falling short against Mahomes & Burrow every year when they get there, you gotta crawl before you can walk :pachaha:

Stid was trash in NE but Josh think's he's better in that offense that he runs.

Bill should try to trade Mac for Carr in the offseason. McD is dumb enough to say yes.

6 head coaches, 6 oc’s in 9 years, …Gruden Fiasco, shytty shytTY defenses, never had a defense ranked in the top 20 in career . He should consider it a blessing to get out of town.
Nothing but turmoil. Team didn't even believe in Jacobs half the time this season. A few of these losses this year was from not running the ball on 3rd-4th & 1 in crucial situations. Carr has definitely had bad games over the years but all the coaching changes, Gruden at the helm, the Gruden scandal, and McDaniels calling the plays have been disastrous

I can :manny: nikkas fukked up as soon as they thought the Chiefs fell off, then it got worse when the desperate moves came into play :heh: Chiefs took a step back, everybody else shot for the moon, and they still got gapped

2000 Washington Redskins

2011 Philadelphia Eagles aka The Dream Team

2022 AFC West

I know there's an entire industry built around offseason predictions and assinine hot takes, but above is 3 big, glaring examples of why doing this for the NFL is nothing but a fool's errand (with many more sprinkled in between).

And yet these fools shout these predictions into the spring and summer sky with ironclad assurances only to be proven wrong on a near annual basis. The NFL is not a prognosticator's league!

I guess "Guys, lets learn from the past and wait until midseason when we get a better read of how these teams are gelling before we predict anything." is too intelligent a statement to keep the attention of the average, mouth breathing pro football fan :unimpressed:
