Since tracking their advanced stats in 2018, Pro-Football-Reference lists Derek Carr as having at least 7.0 intended air yards per attempt in 16 of 38 contests, or 42% of the time. Carr’s overall iay/a in that time is 6.8, so this is essentially the sample size in which Carr goes above the average.
Of those 16 games, four have already come over the Raiders’ first six contests of 2020. As you’d expect, Carr’s iay/a of 7.3 is higher than it had been in the previous two years and with Henry Ruggs III added to the offense recently, is sounds logical that Jon Gruden will continue to have Carr throw the ball downfield more often.
