![]() But why is this? One possible reason is the offensive lines. ![]() By themselves they don’t tell us much about the differences between the two teams - only that the Saints were, in general, more successful when passing the ball. There are a lot of ways for teams to achieve these numbers. What’s important to note at this point is that they don’t quite tell the whole story. They are all different (but related) ways to measure how successful a team is on a per-play basis. If you don’t know what all these metrics mean, don’t worry. The Saints, by comparison, were a top-10 unit in every one of those metrics. ![]() According to the RotoViz Advanced Team Stats Explorer, the Raiders ranked in the bottom half of the league in passing points earned per play, points above average per play, percentage of positive EPA passing plays, passing points above replacement (PAR), and passing wins above replacement (WAR). There’s little question that Carr struggled last season as a Raider, even when you compare that to whichever QB the Saints were putting on the field. But does he represent an upgrade for the Saints? And is New Orleans a better situation for Carr? The RotoViz tools have a trove of advanced data to help us get a clearer picture of the situations in Las Vegas and New Orleans and whether Carr is a good fit for his new team. Carr is already 32 and is coming off arguably his worst statistical season since 2017. The Saints recently agreed to terms with Derek Carr, signing him to a four-year contract worth up to $150 million.
