To me he sort of “glides” while he’s running. He just always looks smooth and in control.

But many on the forum have maintained that he sucks (or some form of that opinion). I can’t agree that his performance (especially with the Saints so far) warrant that opinion.

But he doesn't suck. Not by your definition and not by the generic definition. I'd argue that he's better than a majority of the QB's in the NFL right now and better than a handful of Superbowl winners as well. I'd certainly pick Carr over Dilfer and Brad Johnson.

See? “He doesn’t suck” and everything you wrote after that, means - we stay mediocre enough to keep him in the driver’s seat just long enough to keep us mediocre before developing fresher talent and having to do a soft-rebuild around whoever that might be. And it goes on and on…

Ice, to be honest, Carr could come out sprinkled in gold glitter if he wanted to! As long as he can keep being a top 10 QB like this past weekend, I'm good with it and will defend his right to wear it to my grave!

So they're saying that Atlanta is... well...still the Failclowns?

The offensive line played well yesterday. I hope the LG's toe injury isn't terrible. Penning played well.

For a split second, I thought you were going to say "fingernail polish like me" .
