Last year, Carr simply was not Carr. He seemed more tentative and did not have that confidence that made him aggressive and successful in both 2015 and 2016. Yes, there were drops but that does not explain everything that happened. Hope he is far enough removed from his injuries to play with some fire and hope that Gruden can take him to the next level where he commands the game like a field general fully in control of the offense. Last year, too often, he looked more like a victim of the offense.CarrKnight » Thu Jun 07, 2018 11:06 am

Downing got cute and tried to install a WCO, which detracted from Carr's strengths with respect to vertical passing. A whole new system of reads and progressions that went from short to long. Bubble screens, flat routes, dig routes, cross routes. Downing thought he was smart and that his horizontal passing game would eventually generate some breakthrough plays. An important concept in today's game is to have a set of ever changing read progressions. Don't get into any patterns one way or the other. Downing wanted a ball control offense, which I am sure Del Rio signed off on. The offense lost it's teeth and became oh so predictable. Gruden will want to control the ball as well, but he will attack all areas of the field. At times, it will not produce those long, time consuming drives, but it will showcase Carr's arm talent and keep defenses honest.toobscruiser » Thu Jun 07, 2018 11:43 am

Put him in good positions and not bad ones. All this article needed was this paragraph.Southshield wrote Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:19 am:Creating hope for Raider Nation, if Gruden can implement his new system to take advantage of Carr’s undeniably valuable skillset, his franchise quarterback could get rolling again in 2018 and beyond.

I loved what Derrick Johnson said about the offense looking like Andy Reids with a lot of shift and motions.
