Okay, here are my two cents (and probably more) on the QB situation:
1. I think David Carr has gotten a bad shake in town. I don't think anyone can look at the last five years and say that he has gotten an unfettered opportunity to be a star in this league.
2. Given that, David Carr is not much closer to being a star than he was in year two or three. Again, not all of his fault, but facts are what they are.
3. It is obvious that the coaching staff doesn't have confidence in him for one reason or another.
Personally, I guess my question is whether a victory of the Browns (with a good Carr performance) changes anything in terms of long-term QB evaluation. I'm not really sure myself.
However, I know my view of outside QBs changed a lot when I watched the Philly/Dallas game last night. I don't think Garcia could beat Carr in a foot race, but he is quicker in the pocket than Carr and he continues to look downfield as he dodges rushers. Garcia isn't long on talent, but he gets things done. I'm wondering if we could get him in free agency if we promised him a starting job. Just ponderin'
