He looked absolutely awful in Carolina... but we do have one of the best pass protecting lines in the league. I'd bring him in for a visit and go from there. It's always good to have a backup with extensive starting experience.

I don't think David has the confidence to be a QB in the NFL anymore. Too many sacks have made him a little gun shy to stay in the pocket. I think he would rush a throw and make mistakes. Even with our Oline, I think he would struggle. But hey, bring him in and see if he can handle it. But I don't see it happening.

A lot of his sacks are on him. This guy holds the ball way too long. Reminds me of Rob Johnson with the sacks. I say no way. This guy is horrible.

Coach Payton have gotten production out of guys worse then Carr so it might be a good idea.

I wouldn't mind seeing Carr get a shot as backup. He has played behind two pretty pathetic offensive lines in his career, I'd like to see what he could do with some time. Just one rule, NO GLOVES.

Carr is terrible, I'd rather see Palko get some time. Carr would be a total waste of money.

Bring him in. I like the competition and if we need him for a game or two he would fill in nicely.

He wouldn't cost much, but that's about all you can say for him. I think he would be an ok backup as long as he never made it onto the field. Houston ran that poor guy through a meat grinder.

Re: carr , a decent backup?
 
A year ago I was all for it, now I say no. Developing Palko is a better choice at this point, and right now Martin is better than Carr for the backup job.

If Drew goes down this season for any reason and we have to go to the bench then Lord help us we're toast. I think that if not in this years draft then certainly in next years draft we need to address the heir apparent for Drew. The practice squad dummies we've got ridding the pine right now are not gonna be able to take this team to the next level when or if necessary.

I think the redskins voided the rest of Brunell's contract. I'd be cautiously in favor of him as a last resort.

Re: carr , a decent backup?
 
Holcomb is out there, what about him?

If we want a decent backup, I think the Rams are about to release Gus Frerotte. Just keep him away from any goalposts and he would be ok.

Re: carr , a decent backup?
 
I wonder if we can find us another Billy Joe to put on the bench???

How does that old saying go...? "you can't teach an old dog new tricks!"

yeah, and "damaged goods" comes to mind too.

I prefer the saying "You can't polish a turd."

Holcomb is out there,and what about Gus Frerotte. Carr need to take some time to get his head together.

Re: carr , a decent backup?
 
Carr was handed a golden opportunity to revive his career last year and he ended up being replaced by a 44 year old journeyman and an undrafted rookie. I believe his days in the NFL may very well be over.

As for the rest of the junk out there at QB, Frerotte may be the best option as a guy who can come in and play 3 or 4 games and give us a shot to win.

Not wacko jacko, dude spends more time on his back than most of the girls on bourbon!

Freddie Coleman of ESPN Radio's GAMENIGHT had said Carr was a bust

...so was the last guy at this residence. He was a bust...TWICE.

His name..RUSSELL "BLUNDERFOOT THE TAX EVADER" ERXLEBEN
