Someone posted this on the official board. They found it on an undisclosed Panthers board.
LOL. He hasn't changed. At least he is now admitting his brother is not going to be "awesome".

During this time Carr had the HIGHEST passer rating in the NFL. Higher than Matt Schuab, Higher than Jake Delhomme, Higher than Tom Brady, Higher than maybe like Peyton Manning maybe?
0 INT's, 40/53, 4 TD's, and 427 yards passing. Those are VERY nice stats and as you can see from the link he kept going pretty good for 2 more games, playing 2 crappy teams in Washington (6th Overall Pick last year) and Miami (9th Overall Pick last year.)
2 INT's, 41/58, 3 TD's, and 438 yards passing. So he's having a good year up to this point then he runs into a wall when he plays the Cowboys and only throws for 4 MORE TD'S AND 10 MORE INT'S.
Thats why I was shocked at his performance vs. the Bucs but to be fair it was his first start with the Panthers and the Bucs came ready to play. I'm not saying that he is going to be awesome but he was starting out really well until Spencer went down. A lot of it was the Defense couldn't stop anything and who asks a QB with his first career start with a team to throw 41 times? I think he will have a much better outing against the Saints (if for no other reason than The Saints D sucks) but don't let those Texans fans fool you, he started 06 out well and I was excited for one, but yeah thats what happens.
Seems to me against good teams with good teams he struggled and when the Defense's were on the level of his offensive line he was effective. Let's just face it the Bucs came to play, we need to get that fire back and stick it to them.
