All Encompassing Carr Thread

Or Weaver would have one hell of a game with 4 sacks.

Wow. The mind wobbles.

This would be like the exact opposite of an irresistable force meeting an immovable object. This paradox could actually create a rift in the space/time continuum if it ever came to pass.

...throwing us all into an alternate universe where David Carr made Brett Favre look like Oliver Luck and Bob McNair has a jet black goatee because he's really our owners evil twin.
 
I'll beat people to it...Carr in 4th preseason 20-29 192 yds, 2 TDs and 0 ints. From what I read Anthony Wright had nailed down the backup job until hurting his back and Dave took over. The preseason warrior does it again. Now wait until they need him in a game.
 
Well I officially empower myself to strip Kelvin Cato of his nickname.. (he was the one that had like 8 blocks in a preseason B-ball game and then the Rockets signed him to an outrageous contract and disappeared after that when the games meant something)

Kelvin your nickname is now gone

David "The Hallucination" Carr

Sorry Hook 'em I know you where hoping your giants would kick him to the curb
 
Matt,

Nice game. I laugh at you. I laugh at you in my sleep. I laugh at you on my way to the bank.

signed,
your pal David.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — If Tom Coughlin decides to give Eli Manning some rest during the New York Giants' regular-season finale against the Vikings in Minnesota, David Carr is ready and waiting to take over at quarterback.

Carr might be in the huddle before Manning even takes a step toward the sideline.

"I'd love to get in there and throw the ball around a little bit," Carr said. "It's fun watching them go through everything and prepare, but there is something you miss at the end of the week after you sit there in the meeting rooms and talk about the same things that Eli is talking about."

This has been Carr's strangest season in almost two decades.

"I learned a lot just being around this group," Carr said. "I think I said it when I got here, just watching them through the playoffs, they were a group of guys I wanted to be around. I didn't know anything about them, but once I got in here, it was how it should be. This is winning football."

Carr learned a lot about losing football games earlier in his career. He endured five seasons with the expansion Houston Texans before being released and hooking on with Carolina for six games last season.

He has started 79 games overall and thrown 62 touchdowns. However, he also has been hit more than most quarterbacks. He has been sacked 262 times in his career, including an NFL-record 76 in his rookie season.

Carr called that an experience he would not trade, although he wonders what things would have been like had he played for a good team.

He admits to some jealousy seeing what Manning has accomplished in his five seasons, leading the Giants to a title last year and earning a Super Bowl MVP.

"Just looking around the league at different guys and different situations guys get thrown into, it's the luck of the draw," Carr said.

Nice spin by the writer. Carr needs to shut his pie hole and wonder what the Texans would have been like if he had been a good QB.
 
wow, what was in the holiday treats I had yesterday, I thought I put this was under the All encompassing Carr thread

and I didn't drink either :thud:

I might have to get my eyes checked
 
Mods PLEASE move Wolf's quotes into the correct thread... there are SO many comebacks off what HHSNBM said (probably nothing new than what's been said before) but don't need to derail Vick's thread. Wow... what a hole, not you Wolf.
 
Carr, a seven-year veteran, joined the team this season as a backup to Eli Manning. He has appeared in only two games and has thrown one pass, a completion for a touchdown on a 5-yard play.

But it is not out of the question that Carr, 29, could play at least part of the game Sunday in the Metrodome so that Manning is not exposed unnecessarily to danger and so that Carr can sharpen his skills. At the very least, Carr is fit and ready.

“Physically, I feel as good as I have since I was, like, 12,” Carr said. But Carr has not played since Oct. 5. When someone asked if he had ever gone this long without playing, Carr said, “No, not since I was 4.”

We all know Dave would have been another John Elway or Peyton Manning if
he'd got some descent coaching when he was a rookie coming into the league, but he had the misfortune of ending up with the Dom Capers crew.
Anyways, looks like he might get some snaps this weekend.
 
Er, David Carr has the leadership skills of a fax machine. He could have had the greatest coaches in the history of the universe, and he was never going to remotely approach Manning or Elway.

Of course he is in great shape...being in the fetal position so much will take light years off of you. I have to see the game. :tiphat:
 
I wish the best for him and hope that he does well.

Another mean-spirited Carr-hater(s).

I was NOTHING of the sort until HE started blaming the Texans for all his failures. I backed Carr to everyone who said he was garbage. I said all he needed was a good offensive line, and he would be just fine.

Then when he left Houston, he talked into any microphone in front of his face about how the Texans didn't coach him right and how it was a bad situation. He RARELY put any of the responsibility on himself.

From that moment forward - I became a Carr hater. But ONLY when he showed his true colors.
 
David Carr is ancient history. I hold no animosity towards him. He did his best while he was here and took a pounding that shattered his football career. You can blame the coaches, front office, and David himself for all the shortcomings. But I wish him the best for the rest of his life at whatever he does.
 
they would be begging for Rex Grossman

LOL

Carr is an interesting topic. I've always though he had a ton of talent, but he was never on a team that had a good running game and he was sacked more than any other QB in his career with the Houston Texans. So the question is are the 262 sacks he took and the 70 INTs he threw in his 6 years with Houston and Carolina more of an issue of him being indecisive with a slow delivery and poor pocket presence or was he not given proper protection and enough weapons? We can give him a run game, but we don't know if we can protect him. We certainly cannot give him a weapon as good as Andre Johnson. Carr has throw for over 14,000 and 60 TDs in his years with the Panthers and Texans.

Carr is currently the backup with the Giants. He has no shot at being a starter again behind Manning, so he certainly would welcome the change of scenery.

What is your take on Carr?

It's really slow around here.... From Profootballtalk.com and NY News.......

So, he signs another 1 year - $1 mill contract with the Giants.

http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/giants/2009/02/carr-re-signs-to-be-elis-backu.html


“Last year was just such a positive experience for me I wanted to try to do it again,” Carr added. “Just try and kind of get another one of those years under my belt just learning and continuing to better myself.

“Honestly, there are spots out there and starting positions and there could have been some things where it would have just been my Houston situation all over again and it wasn’t really something I was looking forward to, to tell you the truth. (Some of the starting possibilities) it is just difficult to win. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t love the challenge of doing that, but it just wasn’t right for me, the spots that were available.”

It's difficult to win when you are the starting QB Dave. Again Dave disses the organization he helped ruin.

Too true, nothing better than a bit of idle chatter to pass the bad months of the year, where nothing happens except for summer...

So...which number 8 is the better QB, Schaub or Carr?
