David Carr showed flashes now and then, Jimmy never did. If he had been a sixth round pick from North Dakota State and played like that nobody would ever defend him. But because he's a name guy people hold out hope. When you watch the tape and really break down his play it's obvious he's just not an NFL quarterback; not mentally, not physically, not in any way. What's the best play he ever made? The under thrown duck to a wide open Stewart for his first TD against the Saints? The sideline throw to LaFell that set up Kasay's miss against the Browns? Either way, when you think about it, you could count his really good plays on one hand.

what Carr did 6 years ago means nothing. He is much worse now than when he was a rookie. Point remains, you can be utter crap....and find a job as a NFL QB. Look at what Delhomme was paid to go to Clev......and was done after Tommy John. Look what Denver gave up for Brady Quinn.....

Clausen will hang around the NFL in some form for a couple years.

over the summer some friends and i played flag football at the beach, we were one guy short from having 5 on 5. A buddy noticed Jimmy walking towards us and he goes hey guys, mind if I play I see you need one more?

Too bad we didn't have enough to play. Weather was freakin perf.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
