Per PFT, quoting Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer (link)

 

Back in March, Derek Carr said that he had heard interest from teams in signing his older brother David to serve as a backup if they selected Derek in next week’s draft.

The younger Carr didn’t specify any of the teams that were interested, but his brother was a bit more forthcoming this week. David Carr told Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that the Browns were one of the teams that suggested there might be a Carr family reunion on their roster.

“Yeah, they’ve definitely been one of those teams that have expressed interest,” Carr said. “There are probably about six or seven teams that have been real interested in that scenario, so we’ll see what happens. It’s going to be exciting.”

 

Sounds farfetched to me.

It's also funny that I thought he would be Carolina's new franchise QB to lead us to greatness at one point.

 

I think a lot of us did, once he got out of Houston most of us thought he would shine, but the Oline in Houston damaged him beyond repair.

At the time, I said he needed to be rebuilt from scratch. Houston had coached him so poorly that he needed to be treated like a rookie and his best hope was not to have to play for at least a season.

Obviously, that didn't happen.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
