Derek Carr is a Conundrum

We saw the best and worst of Derek Carr on Sunday, and despite the win and numbers, there are still many questions.

I want to believe that Carr is more like the person we saw in the 4th quarter and overtime who is making huge plays left and right, but then you look up and see he now solely leads the league in interceptions.

So who is this guy?

Obviously, we want the Carr from the 4th quarter and overtime, but we don’t want to be losing to teams for him to start making big plays consistently.

Carr now has 14 fourth-quarter comebacks since he was drafted in 2014, trailing only Matt Stafford of the Detriot Lions. On one hand, its great to see that Carr can dig us out a hole when necessary, but always playing catch up is very risky.

The turnovers are very big issues, but Carr overcame them against the Browns. So let’s hope he builds off this and becomes more efficient with the TD/INT ratio.
