Would you rather have Brandon Carr or Stanford Routt?

[Hoofbite]

According to profootballfocus.com, Routt gave up the most TDs of any corner last year.

Don't worry theo, they are almost all in goal line situations.

So as long as Dallas can keep the opposing team from getting inside the 10 yard line, we're good.

Routt is the most penalized defensive player in the league. Adding that to a team that already kills themselves in that area? No thanks

Our defense was 2nd best in the league in # of penalties on defense and best in the league in terms of yards.

Don't worry, I didn't believe it either..

Carr is easily the more polished corner, and he is younger to boot. Routt has some crazy measurables, so has the higher upside. But he is 3 years older.

Routt might be cheaper, but Carr is better value.

Gimmie T-New for one more year!

He is actually down to a more manageable sum this year, $6M. Draft replacement for the section, and see how he owns up with a ton of pride on the line. That won't change cap pictures as well.

Same here. I don't get the love for Routt, he's not much of an improvement over Newman IMO.

The most interesting current story line in the AFC West is the Kansas City Chiefs’ flirtation with former Oakland cornerback Stanford Routt.

Routt’s visit in Kansas City extended to a second day Wednesday. He has already visited Buffalo and others are planned. But there is no doubt Kansas City is considering signing Routt, who was cut by Oakland last Thursday.

Making Kansas City’s interest in Routt even more intriguing is that one of the Chiefs’ top free agents is cornerback Brandon Carr. With No. 1 cornerback Brandon Flowers locked into a long-term contract and both Routt, 28, and Carr, 25, commanding starter’s money, there is only room for one or the other. The Chiefs are obviously comparing both Routt’s and Carr’s skills along with their contract demands.

Don’t discount the positive impact signing Routt would create. The Chiefs — who have $62 million in cap room — can virtually lock in two priorities and then concentrate on other needs on the open market by signing Routt now and giving the franchise tag to receiver Dwayne Bowe. They can’t franchise both Bowe and Carr. Securing Routt and Bowe before the start off free agency, which begins March 13, could be appealing to Kansas City.

I asked Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. who he would rather have, Routt or Carr? He said he likes Carr just a bit more, but he’d have little problem seeing the Chiefs opt to sign Routt.

CARR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is injury prone and cannot run. If Woicik and the trainers notice something that can be remedied I would not completely be deadset but failing that there is no reason to keep him.

He was joking....

Couldn't agree more

I feel like I'm the only one who thinks this, but Carr has all the makings of a disaster of a signing to me. A "great" young corner whose numbers look far better than they are given the conference he plays in and the fact that he sits opposite Brandon Flowers. Nothing like playing against Tebow twice, Rivers on a down year, and Oakland to make you look like a pro bowler- particularly when you don't even have to match up against the other team's top wideout.

If Carr is paid like Scandrick, then sure. If he's paid like Joseph...no way.

I put a thread out here and pretty much everyone though Carr is better than Routt if so why would KC do the flip flop on them ? and really for those that have watched Carr play is he really better than what the Cowboys currently have ?

 

[cowboys1732]

I live in Kansas City. Rumor is that Carr wants Revis type of money and that is why Kansas City signed Routt...again that is the rumor because not very much get leaked to the press since Pioli took the reigns. IMHO, Carr is better than anyone we currently have, but I don't think he is worth that kind of money.
