What’s Derek Carr doing differently in New Orleans?

Derek Carr is in a new uniform for the first time in his NFL career.

A second-round pick in 2014, Carr played 144 games for the Raiders over nine seasons, first in Oakland and then in Las Vegas. And for most of that time, he was essentially the same player: a consistent, mid-tier quarterback who executed well and made plays when they were there, but rarely seemed to take the Raiders to the next level.

That consistency comes across loud and clear in his stats. Over his nine-year Raiders career, Carr threw fewer than 20 touchdown passes just once, and after his rookie season, his passer rating dipped under 90 a single time.
