Carr is the new Romo

[Fletch]

Carr has the charisma of Romo, almost the same athleticism as Romo when Tony was in his prime (almost), the confidence of Romo, the fanfare within his own fan base as Romo, Nationally well-known like Romo was, without the vitriol Romo received, the hope to win it all like Romo, the talent like Romo, and now the big injuries piling up like Romo.

The latest, Carr suffered a transverse process fracture that eventually ended Romo’s career.

Carr, like Romo arrived to help elevate and put out a dumpster fire. Like Romo, Carr is now under the microscope nationally, to see whether or not he can help ascend Raider Nation back to prominence. So far, the set back is real!

Romo missed one game from the traverse fracture. Two of them.

Agreed. Both are very overrated.

 

[Idgit]

He's got one of those brittle skeletons that starts falling apart in your 30s, too? Only his is falling apart in his 20s, even. That's a terrible sign for Carr fans.

I wonder if he's got the trick collarbones, too?

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Carr is a good young QB. It's awful if he's going to be injury prone.

One of the keys to being a great NFL QB is durability. You look at all of the greats of this generation - Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers - all those guys usually played 16 games a season.

A rather well known Scout said this once

"I use Tony Romo as a way to test someone I do not know as regards football knowledge. If they understand he is a top QB then I listen to them. If they are dumb enough to say otherwise I ignore them."

Apparently, paying your quarterback $25 million per season will buy you six wins after 13 games.

And the one you forgot played more consecutive games then all those guys put together. 211 ring a bell?
