There's plenty of reasons why statistically Carr rates as worse. The Chiefs had a horrendous pass rush for most of this season. The pass rush didn't step up until Houston started to emerge later in the season. The Chiefs had horrendous safety help all of this season. For most of the season, especially during the Palko era, the Chiefs' defense was on the field for entirely too long. That drains the hell out of your defense. That tires out Carr. More importantly, it tires out your pass rushers, which again goes back to the problem of Carr having to cover for longer.
Carr is a better player and his upside makes him even better. In 2012, getting Berry back and having Houston all year long as well as getting great coaching, he'd only get much better.
