Average QB Stats
2004: 59.8% Completion, 210.5 passing yards/gm, 7.1 YPA, 1.4 TD/gm, 1.0 INT/gm, 82.8 QB Rating
2020: 66.7% Completion, 249.8 passing yards/gm, 7.5 YPA, 1.8 TD/gm, 0.8 INT/gm, 96.5 QB Rating

It's kind of pointless to compare QB stats from different eras.

Fair enough. On the other hand, just looking at the two, carson had a season AND a preseason. And a better team around him. He still had things going in the right direction. That makes me feel good about Joe and where the team is heading.
