NFL MVP Watch: Is Saints QB Derek Carr’s early production sustainable?

foxnews.com

Derek Carr has turned back the clock and is playing some of the best football of his 11-year NFL career to start the season for the New Orleans Saints.

The 33-year-old Carr & Co. lead the NFL in points per game at 45.5. The Saints have scored on their first 16 possessions and already have an impressive 14 plays of 16-plus yards this season.

New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, the son of offensive guru and former NFL quarterback Gary Kubiak, has installed his father's scheme, which he sharpened for a season coaching under Kyle Shanahan with the San Francisco 49ers.

The scheme is centered on running the football, thereby creating play-action shots down the field and clean pockets for Carr to operate from.
