And Carr's rookie year was bad. Carr has better offensive weapons than Dak from my perspective, and you should agree if I have read all your anti-Dez posts correctly. And with Free at RT, I'd argue Oakland had a better pass blocking line than Dallas. And while Witten is a first ballot HOF for sure, he's not even in the top 10 receiving TEs right now. Dallas certainly runs better, but Oaklands receiving corp is superior to Dallas. Even with a better receiving corps, Carr wasn't as good as Dak, even if we just talk last year.
When you have a devastating run game that can pulverize a defense and grind the clock down to nothing, it makes playing QB so much easier. Dak only had to keep the bus on the road, which he did brilliantly, and make a play here and there.
Carr has a decent set of weapons, but he has to make all the throws and all the plays. His run game comes and goes. It's all on him.
Dak will experience much more of that this year. The book is out, and teams can see what the Giants, Eagles, and Vikings did to make him uncomfortable and ineffective. He's working on that right now, no doubt. We'll see how the battle ensues next year.
But Carr is on the verge of true elite-level play. He's ready. Dak is 2-3 years away most likely.
