sorry but that isnt me...it was George Vreeland Hill....whoever the F that is....
pretty shrewd of the dude to use his full legal name to sign his posts, though...i guess that means he is serious or something
meh, even my girlfriend was like 'WTF, someone signed Carr?' When I told her it was the Super Bowl Champion NY Giants, she had this puzzled look on her face and I told her that some coaches have huge egos, and think they can be the one to finally fix someone. The crazy thing is that Carr already got Palmer fired once, why not go for the double? I will say that Gilbride's offense does dink and dunk alot (as we all know from the Pardee run n gun years) and Carr has shown the ability to do that but unless they change his mechanics especially his release point and trajectory, he will never be able to pull those throws off without him constantly getting his passes batted down (probably the biggest flaw in Carr's game...reliance on passing lanes)
Geez, I even think I know enough about football to attempt to address Carr's shortcomings and make him serviceable but the problem is that with the beatings he has taken and with him only getting older each day. By the time you develop him into something worth a crap he will be in his mid-30s.....no reward. I also think the Giants are forgetting about the value of having an intelligent and learned backup QB for signal calling and for practice. Carr is far from a student of the game, so what does he bring to the table. Granted, Manning knows more football than most of his coaches but I don't see anything for the Giants to gain by signing Carr.
I am just being real. Fix his trajectory and mechanics, fix his pace on his dropbacks, and force him to watch tape and study the playbook. If you do those things, you may have an average to above average backup QB. The problem is that there are a lot of QBs, even fat ass Lorenzen, who are better fits. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Another thing you could fix with Carr is his inability to accept responsibility for his failures.

"Chris knows me better than anybody," Carr told ESPN.com. "I'm looking forward to getting in there and working with him on what's right and wrong with my mechanics."
Carr, 28, spent last season with Carolina and struggled after taking over for an injured Jake Delhomme. Carr was the No. 1 overall pick in 2002 by Houston and spent the first five years of his career there.
He is expected to compete for the backup job behind Eli Manning.
"I have a lot of calluses," Carr said, according to The Associated Press. "I'm like an old carpenter I've been through it. If you let that stuff affect you, you're not going to be able to do your job. One of the reasons I'm excited about coming here is they protect the quarterback well and they have playmakers on the outside."
Yeah Andre Johnson and Steve Smith are just HORRIBLE playmakers on the outside....its always someone else's fault, huh, Carr?
what a freakin joke this guy is. truly pathetic professional.
well one day this thread will end...but it looks like it just got some new life...in NY no less. hahha. coming home from little league to hear that Carr got signed by the Giants and the Rockets won their 20th in a row, was a nice touch to the evening.
Good night, yall.
