High probability Carr stinks up the joint
I think he'll do as well as Delhomme did. David Carr has an NFL arm but has always been under intense pressure in Houston. What's funny is that the year he leaves, Houston finally starts to put together a line behind Kubiak's zone-blocking scheme that Denver runs to perfection. He also went to a team that had an average-at-best offensive line. This guy can make all the throws and would be a star behind certain lines. He's had nothing but bad luck getting good protection and time to throw. He should do decently in Carolina. I think he's a better QB than quite a few current NFL starters, including possibly Delhomme.
More and more I think a quarterback has a huge amount to do with how an offensive line looks. I think Houston getting a much better, quicker thinking quarterback has more to do with their offensive line improvements than anything. A fast quarterback with a good release can make a lot of bad lines look better than they are. Carr just doesn't seem to have "it". He doesn't see the game quick enough and he just can't play. I hope to god he can have one big game with Smith so I could trade for decent value though. Nobody wants Smith right now. Maybe I'm still hoping for too much in return. Do you think a lower value player like Roy Williams is enough in return? I don't see many people trading much more than that until he has at least one good game.
