At this point, Carr needs a stud RB, stud TE, stud OL, and at least 3 reliable receivers if he's going to anything more than a 15-20th best QB.
Of course, having a defense that could actually get a stop here and there would help as well.

Like hell he was.
At Carr's best he was still a checkdown artist. In 2016, before his injury and with the best pass-pro line in football, dude average 7 yards/attempt. Smith averaged 7.2 in his Chiefs career.
Carr was never a gunslinger - he was a guy who's throw underneath regardless of the protection you gave him. He was a risk averse, skittish pud. Last year's the frist season he's ever really been a viable weapon as a passer.
