Speculation about Carr to the Vikes?

And about a year from now, Vikings fans may be saying "once we get some help on the right side of the OL, Carr will be just fine." Birk, Hutchinson, and McKinnie can't do it all you know... "and Taylor really needs to improve his blitz pickup..."
 
So today I met a guy who is a diehard Vikings fan. I casually mentioned this whole trade scenario and he was really into it. If the price was right. He said, in his opinon, that TJ (Tavaris Jackson) is very raw and not ready to led a team. He might be ready in a couple of years. So there might be some truth to this rumor. I didn't take him to be a guy who trolls MBs looking for any gossip.

If we trade Carr to the Vikinings we need to get Tavaris Jackson from them....The kid is raw, but I think he's going to be special. In fact I don't even think Carr is better than him right now.

Reading that thread from the Vikings board, there were several guys who believe that TJ is their future, but isn't ready to lead the team. They are willing to just compete for another year or two, and they think Carr will do that for them, with a hint of upside.

Almost to a Tee, they all agreed that they'd have to do something about that $5mil+ salary.

It makes sense on their part, and I hope it does work out for them.

I'd also like to get Smoot as part of the deal.



But let me ask you guys this. How would you feel if David becomes a Pro Bowler in Minnesota??

Well, if the options that he stays here and continues to play bad or he goes to Minnesota and plays well, then I hope he goes to Minnesota and plays well.

I think it's more often the case that a guy plays well for a team, goes to another team and crashes than a guy plays poorly for a team, then goes to another team and flourishes. It happens but not very often.

well if no Pro Bowls is worth 5 years of starting, then one should be worth 10.

That means he would have 5 years in the scorching heat and ten in the land of a thousand frozen lakes.

That would be worth it to me for having to watch the Bush Bowl last year. EDIT two seasons ago

HOWEVER if Smoot is part of the deal. All bets are off. I don't have a problem with how strange you want to get in your bedroom, but the NFL is not the place for lame public antics. Mooning is a fine time honoured tradition... instruments in the act? No.

If they are crazy enough to want Carr, they may be crazy enough to trade Jackson.

Personally I don't think this is anymore than wishful thinking by a few fans. I doubt the viking mangement would consider it. In a way they'd be stiffling the growth of their young player, who has a chance, IMO, to be special. But if they are interested, we should trade Carr for Jackson and a 5th.

I would be happy for him as a person. I wouldn't regret anything, because I don't think he will reach those heights here in Houston.

It would be more system than Carr if that happened. He has shown over five years that he can not make others around him better over the course of four quarters. Ironically Carr's contract is what limits him as the team cannot get those needed players to make him into the great player that he potentially is. If he was paid in the 2-3m range then the team could acquire the necessary players. He is a scared player and scared players need to be moved for the betterment of both parties.
