Man I hope not, it is time to move on! Problem is you can't count on Claiborne to be healthy all season but I am not sure Carr is better than some of the players we have on the bench. I think you could put Jones over there is you had to and be better off and put Wilcox back to FS.
CB and DL priority in the draft if they are there.

I believe last April Carr agreed to renegotiate his contract and took a pay cut, different from a restructure. Also, looks like this is the last year on his 5 year deal that originated in 2012.

Seeing Carr and Heath on the same side terrifies me. I don't know why teams don't throw to that side every down.

I have long been a Carr hater, but I have to admit, I'm starting to change my tune. I don't think he's great or anything, but he's been solid at least. I wouldn't mind keeping him if we can work out a fair deal.

Did you like when he gifted the Bucs a touchdown by trying for an interception and bobbling the ball into a Bucs receiver's hands instead of just knocking it down and forcing them to punt?

He wasn't too solid last night.
In fact, he almost cost us late again. Go back and watch the pass that Winston overthrew Evans on the 2nd to last drive for Tampa. Carr had deep responsibility and yet he bit on the WR running a short route WHO WAS ALREADY COVERED. Evans streaked past him and Winston airmailed him.
I want no part of Carr anymore. I've seen enough.

He is a free agent. It shows 2017 as his final year but that was a dummy (voidable) year.

The receiver made a great play. Carr made a good play and the receiver made a better one. Some of you are impossible.

On that play that Winston missed, looks to me like he had help over the top and Jones got there too late.

It's because he isn't a *bad* player. He's just paid like a great one which is why everything he does is blown out of proportion.

10000% wrong, did you watch the play? He did exactly what I said bobbled the ball and knocked it right into the WR's hand for a TD. It was Carr's job to do anything but what he did and you're defending him. You're impossible.

Carr clearly bit on the shorter route, you can see him start forward and then stop and run back as Evans ran past him. The short WR was already covered by Scandrick, I believe.

I think people hate Carr because of a reputation he built 2-3 years ago, and it has stuck.
Sure, he's not Deion or Revis, but he is solid. And reliable.
He tried to make a play on the ball last night, and an unlucky bounce landed right in the offensive player's hands. Oh well.
And there were a lot of guys on here criticizing him for trying to get the INT rather than just bat the ball down. How ridiculous is that? If he HAD knocked it down without trying to catch it, they would have complained then, also.
I'm not a huge fan of Brandon Carr. But he's good value for the money he's now making. No reason to run him off.

The one time I've ever seen Carr make a play on the ball it ends up in the receivers hands for a TD. That about sums it up for Brandon Carr.
But he had been solid for us. Always on the field and always covering the best WR.

I see receivers being criticized all the time for bobbling the ball into a defender's hand for a interception, but the same doesn't hold true for a corner? He should have just knocked the ball down it was 3rd down he was trying to pad his stats. This has nothing to do with how he performed the last few years to me, it was a low IQ play and it could have cost us the game. I don't care if it was Deion I would have said the same thing.
