The 2018 season saw Derek Carr surpass 4000 yards for the first time. We also saw an offense that couldn’t sustain drives and wasn’t threatening anyone with their ability to score. Part of that is on Derek Carr’s shoulders, part of it is not.
The vast majority of Carr’s yardage was on dump offs and quick passes for short yardage. He rarely tested the deep part of the field and he rarely got out of the pocket and made a play with his legs. Both areas he is making an effort to change this season.
