Derek Carr's accuracy on deep balls a matter of 'rep after rep'

OAKLAND -- Working on accuracy down low and on short and intermediate passes is one thing. But to put the ball in the absolute perfect spot on a deep throw?

"Reps," Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said. "Rep after rep."

As a kid, Carr said his father would have him fling the ball from 38 yards away, then from 40, 42, and 45 yards as he grew older and stronger.

"He wouldn't let me leave until I threw three perfect ones," Carr said.

Two perfect strikes followed by one off the mark?
