I do not expect Carr to be anything more than a back-up, and to "spice up" the QB competition, as Kawakimi put it.

But I wouldn't be surprised if we get good things from Carr. If you look at his career, it's not all that dissimilar to Alex's. In Houston, he was behind one of the worst offensive lines ever and was sacked A LOT. Much of that was probably his fault as well, but he didn't have a lot of protection.

His last three seasons as a starter resulted in him getting around an 80 QB rating, which is similar production from Alex in Alex's best two seasons. From then on, he's been a back-up to Jake Delhomme and Eli Manning, both Pro Bowl QBs that have played in Super Bowls.

Alex Smith could've EASILY followed this route. The only difference is that McCloughan remained with the 49ers and decided to stick with him. In Houston, there was a regime change and Kubiak decided to bring in Matt Schaub.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carr has been slowly building his confidence back up in the last couple seasons.

Of course, I don't really believe that David Carr could be the starter, because I'm more on the Alex Smith bandwagon, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were to somehow win the QB job.

This. His last three years, Carr's rating was around 80 AND HE WAS SACKED 158 times.

Bottom line: Carr could surprise some people. I'm not mad at this signing.

He's never had an offensive line. Same goes for Alex. They are both in the same position. Let them duke it out in training camp.

I really hope there's no stupid f**king "Open Competition" this year. So tired of that s**t, it sets our team back every f**king year. Just name Smith as the starter so he can play with the first team, no switching off for every game.

Alex is the starter, the competition will be for the backup.

I hope so bro, this team has yet to say Alex is the starter since signing David Carr. Hopefully they do it soon so we don't have David Carr vs Alex Smith threads for a competition.

The competition is to see who will step in for Smith if he should falter or get injured next year, not who will start.

As much as Carr has been hit in the past has he ever been charged with a phantom sack like Everett

Phantom sack? Have you watched Peyton Manning recently? Any time the protection breaks down and he can't find a receiver, he just lays down. Nowadays that's called "being smart." Twenty years ago it was called "being a p***y." The league has changed the rules to protect the QB so much that this kind of thing is not only accepted, it's encouraged. If Jim Everett did that today, no one would bat an eye.
