"He [Carr] doesn't play college quarterback... he plays NFL quarterback."

I saw this from ESPN analyst Trevor Matich last week (re-posted on Pete Sampson's Twitter feed). He meant it as a compliment. I thought, that's not a feature, it's a bug. Saturday night did nothing to convince me otherwise. (I admit, I was traumatized watching Tommy Rees play QB.)

Can a college offense that depends on correct pre-snap reads and adjustments by the QB win against elite (or in the case of Saturday night, semi-elite) competition? I read or heard somewhere after the game the question asked, if the competition is between a college QB and a good college DC, how often is the QB going to win?

"He [Carr] doesn't play college quarterback... he plays NFL quarterback."

As you said, that was last week. CJ has some worked to do....i'd say it's 50/50 he's back next year

Matich is talking about the way he plays. Nothing to do with whether he comes back next year or not.

He won't be back. He won't have any receivers to throw to.
