http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/1496 Recent articles about David Carr en-us Over the past twenty years, the NFL has seen more than a few number one overall picks go "bust." But there have also been some great players who lived up to the hype of being drafted first. Check out the full list with comments on each player.

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:08:57 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/229000 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/229000 I would once again like to talk about the St. Louis Rams signing Trent Green to a 3 year contract worth almost 9 million dollars and 4 million of that counting against the 2008 NFL salary cap. I know that Al Saunders is back and he knows the system, but let's look deeper into the issue. Trent will be 38 before the 2008 season starts. Trent will never be the QB that will replace Marc Bulger. We are spending 4 million of our cap dollars for someone to hold a clipboard when the team needs added depth at every position. The positive that everyone is talking about, is the Saunders connection, the familiarity with the offense, and Trents ability to help Marc Bulger. Once again I question why our $65 million dollar QB needs help. Trent is one blow to the head from being out of the NFL forever, is he the answer? I believe the smarter move would have been to pick up David Carr or a player like David Carr. Exactly what do I mean by this? Well the New York Giants were able to get David Carr to sign just a one year contract, for a reported 1 million dollars plus incentives. I think it is easy to see why this would have been a much better move by the Rams. David Carr is 28 years old and a former #1 overall draft pick. In addition David played 5 straight years for the Houston Texans and only missed 4 games while being sacked more times than any other QB in the league. He is durable and has a strong arm and a QB rating just as good as Trent Green over the last couple years. He is just as big as Trent Green and is over 9 years younger. The Rams are obviously rebuilding so why not get younger and cheaper. A player like David Carr would have been a much better pickup than Trent Green. I would love your comments, and to hear who you would like to have seen the Rams pick up.

The New York Giants have no interest in going back to the Super Bowl. David Carr was lucky enough to once again fool someone into thinking he can play quarterback. 82 games, 262 sacks…you're hired!

Carr, according to several published reports, will be visiting with the Giants tonight and Thursday.

Harrington and #1 overall pick David Carr are the posterboys for what is likely one of the poorest quarterback classes in NFL Draft history.

This installment will be focusing on Quarterbacks.

And David Carr got a massive extension!!! Kidding. Wed, 09 Jan 2008 05:45:12 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/65531 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/65531 Fox is the blow. If he's such a defensive guru, our team should be #1 overrall in defense. Look at this- D Line- Good Linebackers- Great Corners- Decent Safetys- Higher end bad With that much talent a guru should be able to handle it. We have Julius Peppers, a damn good linebacking core, and really actually, good corners. Offensive side isn't stacked with talent, but we have enough to score atleast 20 PPG. Delhomme is a middle run- to what I'm beginning to think of, as a good QB. Running backs.. Well Foster sucks. I've always hated him. We still start him, even though he leads the league in fumbles, and DeAngelo Williams gets a run of 10 or more yards on 20% of his carries. That's right, on 20% of his carries, they are of 10 yards or more. Fox says he doesn't make some cuts. But 1/5 he gets 10 or more, he must be making some cuts. Steve Smith is at WR. Garbage cans can be the other WRs and we'd still have a great core. Drew Carter is getting much better, and is a pretty decent 2nd WR. Colbert blows. Jarrett has a ton of potential. When Carr struggles, I expect something to be done. Before the 2 minute warning in the 4th quarter. Matt Moore should be starting, because I know in my heart and soul, we won't draft a QB. Get the future some experience before Jake retires. I want Andre Woodson. That slips away, after every win. The loss to SF would have cemented it as top 5. John Fox, must go. I advise a Bill Cowher, or Mike Martz. For coaching, IMO you should use a coach with a completely different theory than the team. Quite like marriage, they must be completed, not matched. Cowher, however shares a similar theory, but he was successful in Pittsburgh who is quite like Carolina. Martz on the other hand, would use Smith, a lot. But we all know Martz isn't the best coach. So ultimately- HC- Bill Cowher OC- Mike Martz (steal him from the wretched Lions!) DC- ?? Unfortunently, this is much more fantasy, than reality. Remaining Schedule-- @ Jaguars Seattle Dallas @ Tampa L L L W Anyway, what we need right now, is to lose, to get us Woodson. I jumped off Dixons bandwagon, because I don't like anybody returning from a knee injury. Infact, I think, QB, and Safety are our only pressing needs. If we could get two gooduns in the first two rounds, I think we're better than Dallas. Jake Delhomme isn't a lost cause. He's running out of years though. Plus, this is as deep as a QB class as you'll find. Also, if Delhomme played like he did in the first 3 games this year- 55/86 8TDs 1INT Rating- 111.8% It is time. Jakes at his best. If he can successfully return, we will be set. Get a safety, and draft Woodson whenever we pick, my educated guess, tells me, 6th or 7th. Let Delhomme train Woodson as he can, Woodson is a totally different kind of QB, so he won't teach him a whole lot, but let him teach, and we might actually have a bright future.
