Let me get this straight, ya'll are arguing over a TD pass that was a bad TD pass?
All I care is that it was 6 points.
6 points = Good
INT = Bad

oh I'm very aware of what the play could have potentially been called as, but you seem to be certain that it was called that way, Hulk75. I mean, couldn't it have been a simple scramble play by Carr and he rolled out and was smart enough to know to read the corner to see whether to run it or pass? Yet you seem to know ahead of time that it was CALLED this way. That is what I am curious about. In fact, listing DD responsibility to block, simply supports the fact that you KNEW what the called play out of the huddle was.

So how do YOU, Hulk75, know that? How do you know what play was called in the huddle and who had what responsibility to do what?
by the way, I just looked up the word 'sence' in the dictionary, and it doesn't exist. But since you went to college I am sure you sensed that already.

You're point is well made Wags - even Jon Elway would have been focused intently upon the same receiver that DC was and it was either throw to him,wags said:
run it in yourself, or run out of bounds. Its not as if DC was standing deep in the pocket with gobs of time to survey the entire field in front of him - he
was on a dead sprint towards and at the goal line. Some people just can't admit that, "yea you're probably right about that one."

Admit what? Here is the original comment (below)....I just said I'd like to see him look at more than one guy instead of locking onto one option. Look at the game if you have it taped (Dom was just a few yards away)...just a comment about what my thoughts were on Carr. This is absurd.
Can't tell yet since we haven't had many plays where he drops back and scans the field. We need to see him in multiple series before we can tell much. He had Dom wide open on that TD to Swinton but didn't look at him (would have been a much easier TD, but if you look at the tape he never looked at anyone but Swinton). He still seems to zero in on 'one guy only' too much. I see Carr chunking for around 4000 yards this year though. 23 or so TD's...so I see improvement if he can improve his vision and pocket awareness.El Tejano said:

I don't know what the play call was. All I stated was I wish he looked at more than one guy as an observation. People are turning a simple comment into much more than it is....just me answering a question and giving an example of what I think he needs to improve on. Ridiculous.

DD has three defenders around him as Carr is scrambling to the right. Swinton and the corner of the endzone only had one. I'm sure Carr was thinking run it in or get Woodson to bite and hit Swinton. Good football instincts if you ask me. Now as Carr scrambles further right the defenders follow him and DD opens up, but that is only because Carr scrambles. To hit DD Carr would have had to look and throw across his body.

No, DD is behind 3 defenders who all have their backs to him (as he is waiving his arms around). I'm done on this one because I'm just making a simple comment with a simple example of how he doesn't look to second options, but Carr should go without criticism here (unlike the line or the coaches or Palmer - I forgot about that rule). Go blow my simple comment out of proportion as much as you guys want. I can't take this kind of "football talk" any more.

I'm sure most of us remember the TD pass AJ caught last year when he flipped over the defender as he brought it in. I know on that play one of the other receivers, I can't remember who, was standing all alone. It was "funny" to watch on replay, especially since it was one of the plays that raised AJ into the national consciousness and helped with his Pro Bowl bid. Good thing Dre made the play.
It's a complicated game; everybody messes up. Some just aren't allowed to be called on it.

I'm really just answering a question about my thoughts on Carr. I said we haven't seen enough, but I gave an example of him not looking at an open receiver to finish off what I would like to see improved in Carr's game this season. Good Old fashioned objective football talk - "hey Vinny, what do you think"....I gave an answer and an example. It's not something that most of the posters here put up with. We only like hysteria and finger pointing.

Curse you Vinny and your wanting to share your thoughts on the performance of a player in a preseason game. This is no place for that. 
Why can't a person just state an opinion with out getting ripped? I think it is ok to disagree with an opinion, but seems like some want to knock a person down, kick him 2-3 times before moving on. Wouldn't it be nice , if we had a back who could punch it in from with in the 5 yard line with 2 or three carries?

Because (a) there are a lot of bored football fanatics around here, (b) this is a message board and (c) looking at what kind of analysis Carr went through this time may be a prediction of what he will go through next time. But in the end, whoo hooo TD.
Can't think of many times Carr has had a chance to set up in a real pocket and check off his receivers. He seems to always be running for his life. When Carr runs to the sidelines half his options go away. I gotta tell ya, If most any of us had been pummeled by 300 pound NFL lineman for 3 yrs. like Carr we would look for 1 guy and pray too.
