David and Derek Carr on the Panthers video

[Mr. Scot]

Could definitely see them doing well as analysts (I know David already is)

I will always hold David Carr and his gloves too, in high esteem. Houston as an expansion team stole the first pick that we rightfully earned, and they took Carr. Leaving us Julius Peppers. 
He is okay in my book.

Yes the original post explains a lot.

The thing I remember about Carr the most is seeing him literally just take off running straight backwards. I've never seen anything like it. 

I was younger then, so that's when I believed if you could get a former #1 pick you could probably just rehab him. (i.e. the Sam Darnold resurgence that ironically made a pit stop in Carolina)

That's where I came up with "David Carr Battered QB Syndrome."

You should.

Marty Hurney has said in an interview that had Houston not been picking ahead of us, we would have drafted Carr over Peppers.

And to be fair to Carr, he not only received weekly beatings behind Houston's poorly equipped offensive line, but on top of that also some absolute dog sh-t coaching from Chris Palmer and company that probably aided in derailing his career.

Just one of several examples from that era where somebody else's screwup actually saved us from screwing up ourselves...
