A Ridiculous QB Question

[Bruce]

Seeing how Carr went to the Giants and looked marginally better in his short playing time (in preseason and in relief of Manning) leads me to believe this coaching staff can't do poo with QBs except make them worse.

Carr's throwing mechanics are extremely flawed. He has a very long, exaggerated delivery and brings the ball way back past his head. It not only makes for poor passing but is more susceptible for fumbles and strips.

I remember coming into the 2007 season, everyone talked about his sidearm delivery and how it would lead to knocked down balls at the line of scrimmage. We designed roll-outs and dumpoffs for him. Worked pretty well without a legit running game.

Sadly, I think it would help us right now. Moving Pocket + Roll out to complement the running game. Additionally, Whatever happened to audibles at the line of scrimmage anyway? Remember when a QB looked at players who might blitz and would audible to another play or for diff. pass protect assignments?

Carr is worse than anyone. I'd rather have Gman at QB.

[RockyTopVol]

You amazingly just made me a Delhomme fan again.

It could always be worse!

[davos]

there ya go! I was hoping that type of optimism by making this thread.

carr was horrible but jake is trying his hardest to reach that suckitude

[LelouchBritannia]

I wonder how many quarterbacks in the history of the nfl have thrown 15 picks through the first 6 games and have kept their job? Hell even ryan leaf, the biggest draft bust of all time, managed to only throw 18 interceptions in his worse season. Delhomme is on pace for 40, second only to george blanda's '62 season. AND BLANDA COULD KICK!!!!

At this point I'd like to have another look at Carr at QB.

Good lord people need to stop with the whole "we shoulda kept this crappy player instead of this other crappy player" attitude and instead say, hey... shouldn't we have actually brought in a GOOD player.

thank you for adding common sense to this thread. David Carr sucked, pure and simple, the worst QB I have ever seen. He would not have improved if he sat on the bench, played behind a better line, had the backs we have now, etc. He's terrible. We are all so desperate for a good QB that it has clouded our reality.

[top dawg]

Never should've cut Carr. He's better than Matt Moore, and the fact that he had a porous line, no time to recover from the beating he took in Houston coupled with the fact that he eventually got Jake-itis and lost his confidence due to underwhelming results and constant boos by the Panther faithful would be overshadowed by the fact that his arm is stronger, he's more mobile, and he had nice gloves.

I was feeling you on this until you got to the "nice gloves" part.

I was feeling you on this until you got to the "nice gloves" part.

Wasn't serious about that part.

[Henne Given Sunday]

Wasn't serious about that part.

you should have been.....those gloves are orgasmic.

[slideez]

if he had the running game we have now,...i think he wouldve had a lot less pressure and if need be..wouldve done alot better than jake...but...it is what it is
