David Carr?

[digitaldean]

This is posed purely to those who are convinced A-Rod isn't the answer at QB.

The Texans have stated they are shopping Carr. The Vikings, Raiders and Dolphins are interested parties.

If those are convinced A-Rod isn't the guy, would you (if you were GM) trade for Carr. If you would, how much would you offer? Or isn't he worth it?

We're not talking if TT would trade for him, we're talking to those who want a new heir apparent for Brett.

Carr had a lousy record, but his o-line sucked. Though I think A-Rod is worth it, it wouldn't hurt to take a look at him.

[MJZiggy]

But if you think A-Rod is worth it, what does that say to him when you trade for another QB?

[Freak Out]

No thank you.

[Partial]

Wait for him to get released. No need to trade for him. If your starter goes out your season goes to hell anyway, so no sense is wasting a draft pick on that.

I'd be alright with them trading Rodgers, signing carr and drafting another guy. Carr and Martin can compete in camp for the backup spot.

But if you think A-Rod is worth it, what does that say to him when you trade for another QB?

True.

But if he had the right stuff, it should push him to compete harder for that starter's role when Brett leaves. If he falters, then there is a former starter to fall back on.

Hey, Wolf still kept bringing good QBs (at the time) like Mark Brunell, Detmer, Brooks.

If Wolf doesn't try picking someone up now or after June 1, I hope he drafts a QB around the 4th round.

I'd trade for him if Brett had retired and we were heading into the season with just Rodgers and Ingle. But the timing is wrong for making a move on Carr.

carr will go somewhere to be the starter right away

he'd be on the bench for at least a year if he came here

Thats what I was thinkig also.

Carr will never be a street FA. Houston will want to get something for the guy. Somebody will trade 'em a pick. TT would want to sign him off the street for no comp, so we really don't have a sniff at the boy.

I'd trade a second day pick for Carr in a heartbeat. n He's got a live arm, good instincts and has shown decent toughness. ARod may work out, but I think Carr will eventually be better.

GB would be a good situation for him. He needs a year to clear his head and concentrate on developing his QB bag of tricks.

He's been in survivor mode for 4 years.

David Carr certainly has the tools to be a success with the right team.

He's had incredible pressure placed on him in Houston. Much a result of a lousy OL, thus over the top too many sacks.

He needs a change of scenery and system provided to restore his confidence.

Would he be a good adddition to the Packers? Despite the fact that Aaron Rodgers may be the guy after Favre I believe he would be an asset.

I just think with this being another assessment season, that bringing him to Green Bay now may be ill timed.

[Lurker64]

I think I like Martin and Rodgers more than Carr, even if he was free.

From Ben Maller Rumors.....


The Dolphins brain trust spent part of Thursday speaking with the Houston Texans about quarterback David Carr and investigating all aspects of a possible trade for the former first overall pick in the 2002 draft. Carr ending up in Miami is not a certainty. But it is a possibility that speaks to Miami's uncertain quarterback situation. The team's interest in Carr, and even in Kansas City quarterback Trent Green, coupled with coach Cam Cameron's cautious words when he last spoke about Daunte Culpepper, indicate that Culpepper is not assured of being the team's starter in 2007. One NFL personnel official with interest in the situation said the Oakland Raiders and Minnesota Vikings also had shown interest in Carr. But if the Dolphins really want Carr, they can have him, the personnel official said, by exchanging first-round picks with the Texans. The Texans have the No. 10 pick. The Dolphins are scheduled to pick at No. 9.

dang thats not a lot to get carr

thatsonly a 50 point difference between #10 and #9. thats like a late 4th round pick

i wish we need a vet QB

well actually i don't

but if we did, i'd jump all over that

David Carr is a really, really awful, QB. I have the NFL ticket and have watched him for 3 years now. No field vision, no ability to read a defense, locks onto his primary and if covered, simply dumps the ball off. The # 2 receiver is wasted iff he is the QB.
If he scrambles, he never looks around for an open receiver. He hauls ass towards the sidelines and has taken sacks by running out of bounds when he could have thrown it away. Those are found in the gamebook on NFL.com. Any QB that runs out of bounds for a loss gets a sack. He's not smart enough to just toss it out of bounds as the rules state you can.

He is not good. Seriously.

I have Sunday Ticket also and I would be hard pressed to say Carr sucks based on his time in Hou. The OL has been garbage and it would be reasonable to think Carr is shellshocked from all the beatings he has taken. 249 sacks in four years and he got up over and over. Can you blame him for not finding the second WR? In 2005 Favre got the Carr treatment and had the worse year of his careeer by far.

That is what Carr has dealt with since his first season.
