NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Note to fantasy owners still alive....start the Niners defense.

Going to make a difficult call for me.

Been holding SF all year, but Dallas came available a few weeks ago, so I have them too.

Was locked in on starting Dallas against Willis, now not so sure.

The Dallas defense against Willis and the Titans offense is a smart bet.

Stidham isn't as good as Carr but he isn't a rookie project QB. He knows McDaniels offense, that's all I can say about him really. And he's not a rookie, he's been in the League a while.....LOL.

Both will likely run the ball 2 downs, check down on 3rd and punt repeatedly. Stidham might throw more picks (trying to keep his receivers happy), while Willis might fumble/get sacked more often, as he'll probably look to run more. Tough call (which is a good thing I guess?)

I don’t think anyone in the finals of their league was relying on Carr at this point lol

For me it was his inconsistency in making Adam’s work. He was feast or famine and he was rotten down the stretch. Adams always produced when AR12 was his QB.

Weird way to spell trash

 

[shopson67]

The Raiders managed to turn Waller and Renfro into afterthoughts though. Instead of adding Adams to supplement those targets, he pushed them aside. Sure, Waller and Renfro missed a lot of time, but they weren't involved well before that. Is that McD's offense, Carr's relationship with Adams or both?

It sucks they pretty much traded for one of the best WR’s and the team didn’t improve at all. While they don’t have the right HC. Carr has never been the guy to win big games. I wouldn’t call him a fraud bc most thought he was underrated. He just isn’t underrated, he is a good QB in this league that will never win games deep in the playoffs. And you don’t have to be a very good or great QB to win it all. Maybe he is weak-minded.

Hopefully he goes to a team that is young and has expectations so he can crush their dreams…preferably in the thick of the AFC.

Like DJ mentioned, the Jets seem like a great fit until they can find another young QB to groom.

McDaniels offense.

Carr has the 3rd most comeback wins since coming into the League in '14.

Having to do that because most years the defense was trash.

Texting my best friend who is a Jets fan. And he agrees Carr is being the scapegoat in Vegas.

He said Carr is an improvement over what the Jets have trotted out there at QB.

Yep pretty much described what I said. Young team with some expectations-time to crush those dreams in a city where they won’t take that lightly

A monkey is better than what the Jets have at QB. Wilson sucks and seems to have issues with mire than just playing QB and they have nobody else that can play. If the Jets draft Fields than maybe this looks a little different. Fields to G Wilson would have made sense too, of course Wilson was a year later

How many teams are planning on letting Carr and mayfield fight it out?

Adams numbers aren't drastically different than they were last season in GB.

GB last season: 123 receptions (169 targets), 97ypg, 12.6ypc, 11 TD's

This season with 2 games left: 88 catches (160 targets), 86ypg, 14.7ypc, league leading 12 TD's among all WR's.

1st year Carr has played with Adams as a pro and the numbers aren't much different at all.

Idk Carr will be traded. Baker is a FA unless the Rams want to sign him to a deal, which doesn’t seem likely. That depends on the $$$

That pretty much points straight to Carr. 55 comp % to Adams is awful compared to Rodgers. They were in the 70’s the past 2 years. For all the word in the offseason of these guys have a good connection from college, they struggled this season despite the numbers. You can’t complete 88 out of 160 targets. That’s bad

He won't be traded. They have to make a decision 3 days after the SB or his contract is guaranteed for the next 2 seasons.

The writing is on the wall with Stidham starting. If Carr were to get hurt these last 2 games his contract is automatically guaranteed for the next 2 seasons.

They plan on releasing him.

 

[Shanemansj13]

To compare, the year OBJ was healthy in CLE. Baker to OBJ had a 56 comp %. Not the comparison you want
