Patrick Willis makes interesting comments on David Carr

Free-agent quarterback David Carr, a former Carolina Panther, left 49ers headquarters Saturday without a contract. For now, his souvenirs from Santa Clara include a few barbs from All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis.

Willis questioned the 49ers' interest in Carr with several pointed comments on his Twitter account. In one post, Willis wrote: "I'm saying if we going to go get another qb spend money on a difference maker. Like ( Michael Vick). My opinion."

In another: "We have 3 qb's that are better then him. That's a waste of his time."

The 49ers had no comment on Willis' postings.

Carr is no prize for sure but to assume that Vick would be the answer just took away Willis credibilty as well. Both Smith and Hill are nothing to get excited about, still they put up as good or better numbers than Vick did in his prime. The 49ers have really fallen from the glory days of Montana and Young.

I'd rather have Vick than Carr.

In a recent Atlanta radio appearance, Vick said his preference would be to join the Carolina Panthers, who have not been among the teams most frequently linked to him, whatever that means.

"Well, you know, it's close to home. I like the uniforms. You get to play against Atlanta twice a year. Ain't nothing better than playing against your former team, right? So, yeah, that would be a good look, it would be a good look," Vick said on Atlanta's Hot 107.9 FM

Hey look

The 49ers sign Carr.

Backup QB David Carr has agreed to a two-year contract with the 49ers, according to a league source.

Carr spent Friday and Saturday visiting with the 49ers, but he left without a contract.

Carr is from nearby Bakersfield and played at Fresno State before becoming the No. 1 overall draft pick by the Texans in 2002. Carr spent five seasons with the Texans before stops with the Panthers (2007) and Giants (2008-09).

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
