Now that game is over and everyone has calmed down, should we bench Carr? Is it the right football move? I mean emotional frustration at his poor play aside, would it actually help this defense on the field?
 
No. Carr has his issues but Scandrick is the only CB who's actually better then him on the team. He's severely overpaid and probably should be a nickle at this point. But I don't believe Patmon or Moore is a better player at this point.

I don't believe Patmon is a better player at this point, but I feel fairly confident that Moore is better than Carr this year.
 
Bottom line is somebody is going to get caught on. Claiborne was the whipping boy, and now it's Carr. This is the nfl. Unless we're investing tons of resources into defense, then one of our corners is going to 'look like garbage' eventually. Carr played awful, but it's bound to happen. Should he be benched? Nah. Let go for next season? Possibly.

This is a fantasy thread (to be kind). That's never gonna happen.
 
Overpaid... He will be released after the season is over probably.

Yeah, he probably will, but what about right now? We have two probable must win games to close the season and he is a clear liability out there. He is a man with no confidence. Is he really the second best corner on the roster right now?

scandrick and moore are our two best corners.
 
Just ask him politely not to jump any more routes when there is no safety behind him. He will probably get better if we can get a little consistent pressure on the QB next year.
 
During game review the Maclin play needs replayed a dozen times at least. Then I would ask Carr what was he thinking? I love the signing at the time but now he has to go. Benching him sounds like a great idea but who do you put in his place?
 
Carr missed all of but a few days of TC and lost his mother this year. The guy doesn't look like he is mentally in the game and he's not playing to his strengths. (press)

That said, he is still way overpaid and he should be on the block or agree to take paycut if he wants to stay next year.

It rarely works out for us.
