I just don't know what happened to Carr. :-)
I always thought he would be much better. Maybe he has battered child syndrome from playing with the Raiders. [Reply]

Raiders fans say he’s never been quite the same since he shattered his leg. Mostly that he’s more timid and takes fewer chances. [Reply]

They might be right. He lacks any confidence anymore and comes across disengaged from his team these last few years.
I know when your opportunity comes a'knocking, you better not turn it down when it comes to becoming a head coach.
But man... Nagy had to have been saying, "I have to coach the fucking BEARS? Why couldn't have been a better run organization like the Bucs or the Cardinals?" [Reply]

Yet the Raiders/Gruden can’t wait to rid themselves of him and his contract.

This is the truth. He was a gunslinger before he broke his leg. Been gun shy every since. Here and there he'll still show glimpses of that guy who could actually will a team to win, but mostly he's inside his shell.
At this point, Carr needs a stud RB, stud TE, stud OL, and at least 3 reliable receivers if he's going to anything more than a 15-20th best QB.
Of course, having a defense that could actually get a stop here and there would help as well. [Reply]

Honestly, he could probably be close to 2017 Alex Smith effectiveness if he landed with the Bears. Not sure I'd want him to be the guy trusted with the win down 22-21 against even a mediocre defense in the playoffs, though. [Reply]
