From the episode

Derek Carr is a great example of this... The offense was not performing. But individually, you look at box scores and you watch him play and you're like, I guess he wasn't that bad.
Mentioned at 95:40 – 96:42

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Carr's conservative play masked poor team performance but limited upside.

The source uses Derek Carr as an example of a quarterback who, when his team was not good and the offense was not performing, still looked individually solid in box scores and on film because he was not making the kinds of mistakes that elite, risk-taking quarterbacks make. Carr represents the opposite of the elite quarterback archetype that the source values.
