All Encompassing Carr Thread

Great write up on Carr.......

CHARLOTTE, NC — The Carolina Panthers are hoping that a concussion suffered by quarterback David Carr might work to the team’s advantage. Since entering the league as the number one overall pick of the Texans six years ago, Carr has struggled to find consistency and success in the league.

“David’s problem is that he thinks too much,” Panthers Quarterbacks Coach Mike McCoy told SSNN. “With the concussion, obviously, the thinking ability of a player is likely to be severely hampered. It’s all instinct and reaction. We’re hoping that a spaced out David will lead to fewer questionable decisions.”

When starting QB Jake Delhomme was lost for the season, Panther fans hoped Carr would be able to step in and lead the team. However, Carr quickly reverted to his old form – panicking in the pocket and locking in on receivers.

Panthers Head Coach John Fox told reporters that Carr’s concussion could save his career. “He got the crap kicked out of him in Houston and it really messed him up. But who knows, with the concussion, he could become a totally different quarterback – one who’s not afraid to stand in the pocket and take a hit. Or at least one who has no idea that hit is coming and therefore no fear.”

“As long as Andre Johnson is out there, I think we have a real chance,” said a visibly dazed Carr. “Whether it’s me or Sage Rosenfels out there, with the defense this Texans team has, we can really stay in this thing.”

Yeah it's fake, but too funny and might just be true.
 
Not a homer, not a hater. Just an observer. And I think I may be observing the end of a career.



CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - For the past several weeks, Carolina Panthers coach John Fox has been careful not to name a front-runner at quarterback between Vinny Testaverde and David Carr.

On Wednesday, Fox made it clear: He's going with the 44-year-old.
"Right now, if everybody is healthy, Vinny will be the starter," Fox said.

The move comes after the Panthers gave Carr a two-year, $6 million deal in the offseason to back up Jake Delhomme. But since Delhomme was lost to a season-ending right elbow injury in Week 3, Carr has been ineffective.

He's had a back injury and two concussions, but when Carr has played he's struggled to find receivers and has appeared skittish in the pocket.

I'd say both of them, actually.

Vinny will probably hang it up for good.

Carr will probably get another chance but I'd be willing to be wager that he's out of the league by Jan. or Feb. of 09.

Maybe they just need some veteran leadership to mentor the young guys. Oh, and some WR's and a stud RB. Get all that done and Carr will thrive.

No,Carr is basically done with the Panthers.Vinny has been named the starter for the remaining few games of the season. This will be the end of his NFL carreer and not Vinny's. I'm sure most of you fine upstanding people will take this news with great glee.

"Glee"...what a funny word.

No, our "glee" was when the Texans released the player last off-season. Most of us could care less about the fellow outside of this water-cooler discussion.

I blame the owner.
Giving up on a player after a few rough starts?
A good owner would realize that it's gonna take several years to develop such a gifted talent.
Perhaps even half a decade or so.
How else would you know what he could really do if only given the chance? :shades:
 
http://www.gastongazette.com/sports/carr_13203___article.html/testaverde_panthers.html

CHARLOTTE — David Carr came to Carolina hoping to be a part of a winning football team and have a chance to resurrect his NFL career.
Needless to say, things haven’t gone well for Carr since signing a two-year, $6 million contract with the Panthers in the spring.

In three starts, he’s suffered two concussions and a compression fracture in his back and the Panthers are 4-6. He hasn’t enjoyed the protection he thought he would when he escaped the Houston Texans — he’s been sacked 12 times, which is more than Carolina’s other three quarterbacks combined — and now he’s been benched indefinitely for 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde.
And the season isn’t even over yet.

“This whole year has been a little crazy, to tell you the truth,” Carr said. “A little different than I had expected. At the same time, if my number is called I’ll got out there and have fun, try to do what I can to give the team a spark and try to win a football game. I support whatever (coach John Fox) decides.”
So what did he expect?
“To tell you the truth, I don’t know,” Carr said.
Carr isn’t into analyzing why Testaverde, whom the Panthers signed off the street last month after Carr injured his back, is playing instead of him.

“If I tried to think about that all night, I’d drive myself crazy,” Carr said. “I wouldn’t be too much fun on Thanksgiving.”
He believes injuries have had something to do with it, saying just this week he’s finally “pretty close” to 100 percent.
When Carr has played, he’s looked more than a little skittish in the pocket, especially since suffering the back injury on Oct. 7 against New Orleans.

You notice how he's still just going out there and trying to have fun? He was all about having fun out there when he was a Texan too.

One thing I think we can all agree on is that a football player who no longer enjoys the game is hard to watch and very rarely successful. We often hear that teams or players doing badly "aren't having fun anymore" and we all dread the idea that the "game" can become just a "job" to a player whose lost his desire to compete.

I think that this can go too far the other way too. I think that the way David is constantly talking about how he's "having fun out there", "trying to go out there and have fun", and "keeping things in perspective and having a good time" needs to maybe focus a little less on how much fun the game is and possibly try getting serious about his job. In a lot of ways he's got too damned much perspective. You don't want your QB to smile, nod, and clearly understand deep down inside that it's all just a game and not very important in the grand scheme of things. You want your QB to lose sleep at night when he has a bad game. You want him to obsess over timing with his receivers. You want him to worry about losing and to lust after winning.

David Carr just bounces a kid on his knee, smiles, and knows he's loved by Jesus. David Carr knows better than to sweat the small stuff. He might very well be right and that's great but that's also exactly what's wrong with him.

i agree, David is a pathetic excuse for a professional athlete. 'have fun'?!?!?! how the hell can you have fun when you are 2-14. the dude obviously doesnt care about football or care about competing....even after the guy lost his job, he still doesnt care. football is a job to him and a 9-5 job at that. he lacks all of the professional dedication that it takes and he has no pride in his game or skill at all. just a pathetic pathetic excuse of an athlete. wasn't it great when we won 2 games in a row this past week, we didn't have a parade or have some media expose of our QB getting his stupid freaking hair cut? didn't it feel nice not even hearing it mentioned as anything of merit? david carr is the curse of no expectations and a curse that has finally left the texans and will soon be gone from the league...FOREVER.

isn't it funny how we made no changes on offense (green hasnt been healthy so he doesnt count) and we go from being totally inept to being a quality entertaining offense that has big play potential and wins games for us? I can't remember ONE GAME that Carr and the offense ever won for us in our first 5 years of existence as a franchise. If I saw this guy on the street I would laugh my arse off at him. 'David, you suck. You are a loser. Go spend time with your family you pansy...oh and Michael Jackson called, he wants his gloves back.'

whoever thought this guy was EVER a good QB should be drawn and quartered and put in a blender....

....oh wait that would be half the board and Bumblin' Bob himself....never mind.
 
So what did he expect?
“To tell you the truth, I don’t know,” Carr said.

Let's remind Carr what he expected when he chose the Panthers over Seahawks....

"If I learned anything in the last five years, that is where football games are won and lost," Carr said. "You get to a point where you're in survival mode, which is hard for me.

"Honestly, in the last five years, we haven't had much spark. If we were stuck in the forest it would be hard to light a fire with what we had going on."

Not only did Carr want to play for a team with an established offensive line but he wanted to play for a winner.

"I have been on an expansion team and it's not fun," Carr said, noting that the Texans have gone 24-56 since entering the NFL in 2002.

"I've been on teams that aren't winning and it wasn't exciting. Football is a hard enough game when you go out there and you are battling everything and you go out and lose.

"It makes it hard. I wanted to be on a team that was fun and exciting and, whether I had a chance to play right away, it didn't matter to me."
Click to expand...

As long as he's on a winning team with an "established offensive line" and it's fun and exciting. Oh, and he can't start fires.

Great guy, but not the "NFL is priority" material.
 
"Honestly, in the last five years, we haven't had much spark. If we were stuck in the forest it would be hard to light a fire with what we had going on."

Dear David ... you were supposed to be the flint that made the spark .

Oh well times up and the slipper does'nt fit . The gloves do for what it's worth .
 
Chances are that Carr will get a chance to put his other foot into the grave:


BREAKING NEWS: Testaverde added to injury report as questionable after back tightens up
Written by Steve Reed
11/24/2007 12:37:36 PM

CHARLOTTE -- So much for quarterback stablity.

The Carolina Panthers on Saturday added 44-year-old quarterback Vinny Testaverde to their injury report as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans with stiffness in his back.

According to team spokesman Charlie Dayton, Testaverde's back tightened up after Friday's practice.

The Panthers did not practice Saturday.

Dayton said coach John Fox will make a game-time decision on Testaverde's status.

If Testaverde doesn't play, it's expected David Carr would start against the Saints. Carr's only win as a starter this season came in Week 5 against New Orleans.

The Panthers also have Matt Moore on the roster, but he is considered their third-string quarterback.

Fox named Testaverde the starter on Wednesday, saying he wanted to have some stability at the quarterback situation.
 
It is so funny how they are saying the same things that were said on this board. You can go back in our archives and copy some of the quotes and post them over there. The quotes will be a couple of years old but they still apply.
 
"It's not like we were purposely trying to not score points," Carr said. "They were chanting 'More' -- that they wanted more points. And we were trying to give it to them."
Click to expand...

Wow ... I'd pay good money to see the Carr clan vs the Hilton's on family feud .
 
When he only throws for 95 yards and has a completion percentage below 50% on THIS Saints' secondary.... that's downright inexcuseable

And how do you not throw at Jason David more often?

It's been a key part of offensive schemes against us - but Carr couldn't make it work

The paper today says it was a joke. "Made with a lopsided grin."

This is my favorite comment about his performance, from the always entertaining mjd in today's The Debriefing.

The Sinner: David Carr: 10-of-22, 95 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs. He's awful. Just terrible. No one can tell me that there aren't 10 quarterbacks in the Arena League, or playing in Canada that could step into the NFL tomorrow and be better than David Carr. I hate watching him play. I'd rather watch Mike Holmgren get a nude, full-body, hot oil massage from Dennis Green.

Sorry about that if you are eating breakfast. He adds this:

Saints cornerback Jason Craft on his team's strategy against the Panthers:

"We knew if we could go ahead and kind of disrupt [Panthers QB David] Carr a little bit, he would make some bad decisions."
Pretty good gameplanning by the Saints there. "We're going to use a defensive line today, so since we're playing David Carr, we should be in pretty good shape."

And they were. Carr was awful. Carr is awful. You really don't even need to disrupt him to get him to make bad decisions ... all you really need to do is get him to put on a football uniform Then you're all set.

I still can't believe that the Texans forced this hunk of garbage down our throat for 5 years and kept spinning his game to us as if we were too stupid to see how awful he was....the sad part is that a big chunk of our fans just bought it.

A lot of the league was stupid about it too. This is a league that Charlie Casserly does commentary for, and he's the guy that continued to maintain even after the season was going on that David Carr could be a QB in the NFL.
 
For the record I think I bought into him having the "tools" (arm strength, speed) and hoped that his vision--the single overwhelming reason he continues to be so awful--could be improved with coaching and a better supporting cast. There is little denying that Capers and his staff of goons were awful at developing talent and I hoped that Carr would improve with a change of scenery.

Having said that ... thanks for ruining Steve Smith on my fantasy team.

yup, and you and I were labeled as dumbarses and no-nothings and haters by the myriad throngs of Carr homers. The guy was no good and never was good. now everyone acts like they knew it all along, but we know the truth, Vinny.....and I have a laundry list of bad reputation to prove how much Carr myopia there was in this city and this board.

Oh, and to the people that say they like him as a 'person'? why?!? because he is white, good looking, and a christian? a good 'person' wouldn't blame everyone else for their problems and wouldn't let a whole city down by not being dedicated to football and spending more time in his living room than in the film room during football season. What is there to like about that other than him being white, attractive, and a good provider for his kids. That isn't anything special to like.

this guy crapped all over your franchise, yet you call him a 'good person'.....just pathetic.

Oh, I was labeled a big time hater who knew nothing about football because I stated a bunch of facts about his vision, staring down receivers and lack of progress regarding simple NFL QBing things like throwing the ball away and going downfield. Despite the fact that Couch was in a similar scenario with no backers and that it wasn't uncommon for a guy drafted that high at QB to be a bust. People wanted to just keep selling the excuses. In all honesty, I didn't whole sale buy into supporting the Texans until he left. I never could watch him and knowingly cheer his 4-5 wins when he was bringing the team down.

what do you expect him to say? he is the moron that drafted the guy (and heath shuler, I might add). it was obvious to most NFL people that Carr was and always will be a horrible QB.

during this past season it was painfully obvious that the league knew how bad Carr sucks. only two teams even considered him a quality backup and now even they know he sucks as a backup.

basically when casserley says something, you have to realize how much of a moron he is and what his track record is. the fact that he is collecting a paycheck is a testament of just how bad CBS's pre-game show is.....unwatchable.

Screw Carr and I hope he never plays another down in this league. Then he can have plenty of time to spend with his family and he can stop trying to pretend to be a professional athlete. oh, and if ANY pre-game show hires him as an analyst, i think I might have to puke. The guy should be selling bibles and snake juice out of the trunk of his car....not acting like he knows anything about football....just another mimbo that fooled a lot of you.

thank God he is gone and that his career is just about over....its been way overdue and that 'We Want Moore' chant was hilarious. I watched a lot of that game on Sunday Ticket and me and my friend were just laughing at how bad he was and how few fans were even in the stands. carr's career is over and Fox's might be over by hitching his wagon to that waste of space.

yup, you have always been in touch with reality as well. i just don't let the color of a player's jersey dictate how I feel about the guy. as a matter of fact, if a player on my home team is bad, I am even harder on him than a bad player on another team. Some people just don't like to admit that our team was stupid and that Carr's selection and re-signing retarded the development of our franchise tenfold.

and jerek, you were one of the biggest Carr homers in existence so don't be surprised if I don't shed a tear about Carr ruining one of your fantasy football stars seasons.....sounds like poetic justice to me :)

as for our current QB, he has a long ways to go but he has already made more progress in 11 games than Carr did in 6 seasons. At least our football is watchable and exciting now. The turnovers need to end but sometimes they are going to happen....you just have to limit them. I think Schaub has the dedication and professionalism to improe and progress as a NFL QB. That is what i look for in a QB, not just a strong yet flawed arm and a nice haircut.

Honestly I may have been a homer in that I believed--apparently wrongly--that he could be "fixed" as a player. So be it.

But it never ceases to amaze just how much of your time and this board's bandwidth you are willing to devote to trashing the guy. This page alone is a telling example--three nauseatingly lengthy, and extremely repetitive, diatribes.

Have you considered anger/grief counseling?
 
I have to say I was one of the biggest 'drum beaters' about Carr's lack of QB talent at the NFL level. I beat on him and his non-existant talent for years as the Texans QB. Hey, I started beating the 'TOM-TOM' about him when the Texans had a 7-9 record. More than one person wondered what I was 'smoking' to make those kinds of comments about him, at that time. Heck read my signature line that I still haven't bothered to change and put up there 3 yrs ago, it seems.

BUUUUUTTTT, come on people, let it go. He doesn't strap on a Texans uniform anymore, anyway. You'll live longer, I promise, if you ya just let him go on with his life.

He sucks.

we ALLLLLLLL know it. Really.

do we all need to reaffirm this??

After every game he actually does get some playing time in on a Sunday, however FEW games that is, being replaced with a 44 yr. old TesteMOSES QB is 'telling' enough.

Isn't it??

well when they got rid of Glenn yet kept making excuses for Carr, I knew that the Texans werent interested in winning. they were interested in trying to somehow justify their belief in Carr and force him down our throat. they were sold on his GQ looks and his awwshucks 'i'm a christian family man' tired stupid act.

yeah, it may have been difficult distinguishing good from bad but it wasn't impossible. I knew carr sucked. why didn't casserley? oh wait, because he is a total moron and I am not a homering member of the mindless stupid sheeple.

being a quality NFL Gm is difficult but not impossible.
 
Andre Ware was a terrible pro QB, but I enjoy him as an analyst. It wouldn't bother me if he becomes an analylst as long as he is a better analyst then he WAS a QB.

As to Carr, the first two yrs I gave him the benefit of the doubt. By yr 3, I started to have very serious concerns about his game. By that offseason I was ready for a change, but the Texans were not. By yr 4, I REALLY wanted a change and began to trash him pretty badly. However, when they gave him the extension and hired Kubes, I was willing to give him one last chance under the hope that somehow Kubiak could wave his magic wand and turn him into a QB. I quickly realized how foolish that notion is. You can't turn water into wine, not even Kubes is capable of that.

This year proves that my initial thoughts were correct. the guy has some physical tools, but has NOTHING else. The mental aspects, the leadership, et al are all simply missing. We have gone over his shortcomings ad infinitium, so there is no point in rehashing it now.

I could take today to continue to trash him, but I won't. I don't believe in kicking a man when he is down. It has to be so clearly obvious to even the most strident Carr homers that this man's career is over that there really is no point in debating it any longer. He robbed Mcnair, he robbed Carolina. Now, he can ride off on his white horse and spend a lot more time with his family, which is what he wanted all along. Many of us want that, but we don't get to rob our employers of millions of dollars and retire wealthy. So be it, and good luck to Mr. Carr in his future endeavors.
 
David Carr really didn't do himself any favors in a post-game interview.

Early in the game, the crowd was chanting "WE WANT MOORE!" as in backup rookie QB, Matt Moore. They'd had enough of Carr.

When asked about the crowd chanting, Carr replied:

"It's not like we were purposely trying to not score points," Carr said. "They were chanting 'More' -- that they wanted more points. And we were trying to give it to them."

just wow....

I will waste one more post on this sorry topic with you.

Let's visit a dictionary for a definition of apparent:

1 : open to view : visible
2 : clear or manifest to the understanding <reasons that are readily apparent>

As in, synonomous with obviously. I was obviously wrong about Carr being able to make it in this league. I'll admit it, happily. As for you, even a stopped clock is right twice a day--way to strike message board oil, dude!

Even if you were always right, I never asked for your sympathy or your garbage takes on why I or any one else liked him as a player, namely your as-usual, pathetic and totally off target insistence that it was his being white, handsome, rich, a good dad, a Christian guy, whatever. I'll leave it at that--good luck with your perverse obsession with both Carr and making the case for your apparent omniscience. While we're at it, maybe you could give me some stock tips or read my palm, Miss Cleo.

Honestly I may have been a homer in that I believed--apparently wrongly--that he could be "fixed" as a player. So be it.

But it never ceases to amaze just how much of your time and this board's bandwidth you are willing to devote to trashing the guy. This page alone is a telling example--three nauseatingly lengthy, and extremely repetitive, diatribes.

Have you considered anger/grief counseling?

Couldn't agree with you more. I thought Carr would be able to right himself while he was here. He wasn't able to and I was glad when he was released. But some people on this board seem to have complete hatred for the guy. Yes he sucks as a QB but there is no way anyone could give me a legitimate reason as to why they hate the man so much. And then some of these posters get all huffy when someone doesn't have the same negative view as them. Get over it all ready.
