I like Derek Carr but I gotta admit I wouldn't be that thrilled if we signed him and I'd be pissed if we traded for him. It's time we jump off the vet retread carousel.

I kinda feel like we would just be the Titans. We may win 11 games each season but we will always lose to a better team in the playoffs.

I'm not a big fan of Carr. I don't have a dislike for him either. I'm sort of indifferent exactly. But, I think it's pretty evident that he's better than any QB we've had since Cam's last healthy season (2017). We probably would have won our division by a couple of games last year if Carr had put up the numbers he had in Las Vegas last season. (24 TD, 14 TDs, 3,522yds and passer rating of 86.3). If we somehow ended up signing him, I wouldn't be thrilled...but I wouldn't jump off of a cliff either. He'd immediately be the best QB in our putrid division. Under the guidance of Reich, McCown, and whoever we hire at OC I think we'd be the odds on favorite to win our division in 2023, which would guarantee us a home playoff game.

Im with you. My issue with him is two different offense "gurus" have had their hands on him....... reports were neither cared for him. He never had the help needed, since he enter the NFL raiders defense ranked 32nd. OL has been poor, along spotty STs. Yes he did have all-world walker, whom carr helped. Jones is good RB too, but much of weapons came late. 

To me hes a less lucky Cousins, upper mid....

Carr isn’t terrible, SIGNED as a FA leaves our flexibility. Wouldn’t love it but also not pounding the table for it to happen. He performed better with less which leads me to believe, as I believed before, that ole Josh McD isn’t the offensive guru he’s cracked up to be 🤷🏾‍♂️

The Belichick coaching tree is a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

Yes, so much of this. Mind you, I believe it to go both ways. Not saying we should sign him so NO doesn’t or anything crazy like that BUT NO landing him somehow will diminish any breathing room for growing pains with the new regime. Have to get our next move at QB 1000% correct.

Mike Varbel is as good as any HC currently. B O B before he got GM duties was 2x playoffs and i thinks hes still got a winning record. Not the pros, but Nick Saban is the greatest college HC and still going top 4 strong. 

Now the others are petty bad, though Flores was on good path....

I honestly forgot Vrabel was a Belichick guy. Yeah, he gets credit for that. Yeah, Saban was his DC in Cleveland but the vast majority of his experience is at the college level.

You know, I really can't balme him for that. They decided to go in a different direction, which is well within their right. Carr responds by saying I'm going to pick where I go and I'm not going to let you get anything in return for kicking me to the curb. I love it!

I know Vrabel played for Bill Belichik, but did he actually work as a coach under him in NE?

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
