David Carr MIGHT win bronze at the special olympics....might

 

[Mansta54]

Hell naw!!!!! You are kiddin, right!!

 

[dalboy]

:insane: :enough: :tantrum: :angryno:

 

[Achozen]

Hell no.

This guy was released while an Undrafted FA that didn't make our team last year takes over his job.

Parcells will most likely pick him up anyways.

 

[Yeagermeister]

When he was released last year I thought he'd be a good backup for Romo until I actually saw him play. I was actually glad we signed Johnson instead.

So no thanks

 

[skinsscalper]

When I can HONESTLY say I'd rather have Brad Johnson, it's not good.

I'll pass.

 

[Nors]

Matt Ryan

Thats not to say we didn't want him around...

Carr is a perfect example of the importance of pocket presence in a QB. Here's a guy who has a cannon for an arm with uncanny accuracy and a lightning quick release. He's got the size and mobility (his yards per carry is quite good). But no pocket presence means he gets sacked and can't use those great attributes that he has.

I actually think he would've been great had he been with a coach like Parcells to start off his career instead of Capers.

I take Johnson because he's a good place holder. Unless McBriar learns how to placehold, it's important that the backup can place hold.

Matt Ryan

good luck with that

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Right...we want the guy that Houston shipped out cause he couldn't start and then when he was given the backup role on another team managed to suck so badly that he moved from the starter (after Jake went down) to third string behind Vinny and a rookie?

Thanks, but no thanks.

Two problems with this:

1. Please post more than just a link next time so I know what I am going to look at if I click on it. I would not have clicked on this one if I had known what it was.

2. Just say NO to David Carr!

I was very pleased for the Panthers when they signed Carr last season and thought he would beat out Delhomme for the starting job. Boy was I WRONG! (I was right on Matt Moore though and still wish we would have kept him instead of Johnson.) Carr was terrible last season and I wouldn't want him now. I thought his problems in Houston were due to the porous O-Line they had but apparently he had a lot to do with it.

This fool has become a head case, what real QB wears gloves in good weather????

 

[ajk23az]

This is what you want him to be doing...:a-team:.....This is what he SHOULD be doing.... :hammock:

 

[Chuck 54]

Won't happen due to money, but I'd take him over Brad Johnson, whom I have zero confidence in.

I wonder if he has ever had a QB Coach like Wilson. Carr was great in HS and College. I think his time on a crappy Texan team hurt his development

250+ sacks behind what was unanimously considered the worst O line in football for the first 3 years. Its only been in the last two that there has been a real improvement in it. There is no way you can figure how Carr might have turned out if he had not been pounded into the ground like he was. I watched a fair number of Texan games his first two years= he was getting hit before he could set up.
