The Carr brothers have been chewed up and spit out by the NFL, yet they've made a fortune doing it. It's got to be an odd love-hate relationship. [Reply]

At this point, Carr needs a stud RB, stud TE, stud OL, and at least 3 reliable receivers if he's going to anything more than a 15-20th best QB.
Of course, having a defense that could actually get a stop here and there would help as well.
Like hell he was.
At Carr's best he was still a checkdown artist. In 2016, before his injury and with the best pass-pro line in football, dude average 7 yards/attempt. Smith averaged 7.2 in his Chiefs career.
Carr was never a gunslinger - he was a guy who's throw underneath regardless of the protection you gave him. He was a risk averse, skittish pud. Last year's the frist season he's ever really been a viable weapon as a passer. [Reply]

I always had a theory Tiger was his wife, Liz. She vehemently defended Alex from KC figures on social, which, I actually admire. Her and Gary Lezak had some memorable exchanges. [Reply]

Nope. His weaknesses today are the same as they have been coming out of Fresno. Big games he comes up weak and folds. He gets scared after being hit once and is rattled thereafter. He is captain checkdown. He’s great in junk time when the game is over. He has admitted after games that his number 1 priority is to go home safe to his family and he feels the same after a game whether he wins or loses. He’s a pussy [Reply]
