Geez you guys are crazy.
A Qb should make people around him better, but can he improve the GM, coaches, o-line and defense? It all plays into his development.
Furthermore, with all of the needs we have at this point, what moron would also create a QB mess on top of things? It would be even more of a disaster then it is.
Kitna and BJohnson? If you gave all the GM's the choice between Carr, Kitna and Johnson it would be 95% votes for Carr. He's young, tough, has a live arm and has had absolutely nothing around him in this organization. Kitna ran a couple second rate teams and was replaced once people realized he was holdin them back, and Brad Dilfer has made his name by allowing coaches to win games around him while he makes sure not to screw it up for everyone else. The question is, would Carr have outplayed Kitna in Cinn? I think yes. If Carr spends a year holding a clipboard and then learns to play with those dynamic players he is probably thriving by now. Kitna had that opportunity and was sent to the bench permenantly.
