NBC Sports' Peter King reported none of the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders or the Carolina Panthers "wants to scotch-tape a veteran like 39-year-old Aaron Rodgers and probably not Derek Carr."

Sounds like speculation on Carr, not definitive.

This link covers his statement better than the other ones I've seen so far. 


"I hear—though it might be smoke—that none of the four wants to scotch-tape a veteran like 39-year-old Aaron Rodgers and probably not Derek Carr"

Not really...

What King actually stated was that he heard a rumor, which he stated right up front "might be smoke" that none of the quarterback needy teams were interested in either guy.

That sounded like bullsh-t right from the start, but since it's now reported that all the teams in question are meeting with Carr this week, I'd say it's confirmed.

But the fine "journalists" at Bleacher Report decided to run with it as if it were but definitive statement.

From Albert Breer (Link)

The first quarterbacking domino could fall this week, with Derek Carr a free agent and Aaron Rodgers coming out of the darkness. As we reported this morning, Carr expressed to the Jets his desire to survey the landscape, and the Jets’ plan has been to do the same, but the mutual interest there is very real. On top of that, whatever decision comes from Rodgers could wind up greasing the skids for moves from other teams at the position, and the Packers—like the Jets—are staying loose with their quarterbacking plans.

And this week is important because those two teams, and the other 30, will be here.

So not only should we soon have answers on Carr and Rodgers, the market for guys such as Jimmy Garoppolo, Daniel Jones and Geno Smith could start to take shape in the skyways, hotel lobbies and quiet corners of the convention center in Indy. What’s more, what happens there certainly could (and probably should) impact how hungry certain teams in the top half of the first round are for Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Levis and Anthony Richardson.

Which is to say Carr and Rodgers may be the first one we get answers on, but there’ll be plenty of meat left on the information bone after we have those.

Peter King reports… now that’s an oxymoron!! Must be nice… getting paid for quoting “sources” and not be held accountable.

King didn't really report it. He mentioned it as a rumor.

Bleacher Report incorrectly reported that he reported it. That's sh-tty work on their part.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

They're just meeting with him.

And why shouldn't they?

We're just talking here Scot. Everybody knows the team is going to do what they want. These are just opinions. And my opinion is we should be aiming higher than a high priced Kirk Cousins (at best) clone. Just meeting with him indicates to me it wasn't just all Matt Rhule steering us toward the Darnold's and Mayfield's of the NFL. We can now dispense with that narrative.

Bleacher report has historically been poo reporting. i don't know if it's gotten much better (doesn't seem like it) but they used to let any hack with a keyboard write for them. their main thing is just to get content. never mattered if any of the content was valid or close to correct.

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Honestly, irrespective of Bryce, this is my hope for Canales. I hate hearing about him being a "QB whisperer." Because I don't give a rat's ass about him saving Bryce's career. Bryce either proves to be worth what we gave up for him, or it's next man up. I'm just excited to have a young, innovative offensive mind.
