If the CBA remains in limbo late into the off season and we are unable to trade for a McNabb, Orton, Palmer, Kolb, etc. we are going to be in a bind. The idea of Carr starting makes me throw up in my mouth a little, but I guess this is something that could come to fruition...
VA, at least you brought some reason to your discussion and for that you deserve credit.
However, I feel, overall, that the idea of Carr starting (HA! I made a joke! Get it? Carr starting?....What?) is dangerous and thus your post on the subject, and not your opinion, has earned the coveted:
Originally posted by sfout: Yes Carr had his best season under Greg Roman's teaching. Two things point to this being a complete fluke. 1. It was a pedestrian 83.1 QB rating 3500+ yards 16 TD 14 INT 5 Fumbles a subpar YPA of 7.6 and a 61% completion percentage2. It was Greg Roman's only QB coaching gig, it lasted from 2002-2003, he specializing in working with the running game.
Also Carr essentially lost his starting job 2 years later when he barely cracked 82.1 QB rating. The Texans did their part and gave him a fair shot throughout his entire contract and he never produced. Let's not forget that Harbaugh will we running the plays and Roman will only be game planning with Harbaugh. We are more likely to go after Josh Johnson rather then start David Carr.
Those are straight Alex Smithesque numbers....lol (minus about 500 yards)

If I'm a pass rusher in the NFL I'm e-mailing, sending text messages, twittering, phone calling, or any means possible begging the 49ers to start Carr.

I cant believe I'm going to write this, but I'd rather go with Alex Smith than Carr.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
(PS- I like how a lot of veterans hide and create fake poser accounts to post controversial ideas and thoughts. )

Why are we even talking about the possibility. This isn't a joke. It's worse than that.
Its absolutely ludicrous on every level I can possibly imagine. The guys sucks, PERIOD!

What? Who do you think I am?
Seriously, I post an article from a legit site and ask for feedback. Didn't say I was for it (I'm against if you couldn't figure that out). Not looking to start controversy, just something to talk about. I think Carr starting is as bad an idea as having Lindsey Lohan start for us. That said, the article made a couple points that at least makes the idea feasible.
I wonder if David Carr (today's version) could be successful if we stuck him in with the late 80's team (Sapolu, Barton, Paris, McIntyre, Rice, Taylor, Jones, Rathman, Craig, etc.)...
and as I was picturing this in my head I saw Carr fumbling and the defense picked it up and ran for six even with this squad
