this

2 possibilities
1-the 9ers are able to sign a FA or make a trade for a good vet QB
2-we aren't able to get any good QB outside of the draft and have to re-sign Alex

i will cry the day #2 becomes reality

6th round? Isn't that a little generous?

Sounds about right.

I agree with Harbaugh that rated David Carr as a 6th Round or 7th Round Draft Pick in 2002. Carr seem worst the QB and very ugly to play the games! I don't want to see him play for us the games! We should cut him our roster pls...

See? I barely understand Buzz but even he understands that Carr had no place on our roster!

I'm wondering the same thing.

If our beat writers weren't so weaksauce, that question would've been answered the day he was hired.

Guessing from how glowing he's been about Alex, one has to assume a first round grade

He was the HC at the University of San Diego in 2005. Why would he be grading draft prospects?

Easy to say this stuff after hes already been in the league 9years.

Where were these opinions of Carr back in 2002 or even 2003??

Would be interested to know how he rated Aaron Rodgers also. Rodgers was more 'pro' ready but Smith was more athletic and mobile. They seems to rate equally even with slightly different set of plus and minus. My guess would be they would be first rounder with Harbaugh but in any other year they would be late first to second rounder.

I rated Rogers as the #1 pick that year. This is fun!!

He graded David Carr when he was in Oakland. Why would he grade David Carr when Harbaugh is in college football and Carr is in NFL?!?

The reason you didn't hear about it in 2002, because he wasn't at a very high position with the Raiders, and not everyone release their grades.

True but the article says "according to a source". Who is this source and are they reliable?

I don't doubt Harbaugh may have said that but I also don't automatically assume unnamed sources are accurate.

But, why would someone lie about this? The only reason this was even mentioned was because Harbaugh is our coach and David Carr is on the roster. The source was simply implying what Harbaugh thought of David Carr. I don't think it had anythin' to do with how good Harubaugh is at evaluating QBs.

Personally, I think Harbaugh got it completely wrong. David Carr was considered a very promising young QB after his first 3 years. Playin' QB is more mental than physical and if he didn't get sacked 5-6 times a game in Houston, he would have turned out to be a fine QB.

I went to all the Fresno State games and anybody who watched him play from college to now realizes that Houston killed his career literally. He used to launch the ball downfield to Berrian all the time when he played here in Fresno. It's obvious he scared to chuck the ball because of how many times he's been hit. While I don't think he was superstar material he's just one of those guys that never got a fair chance with his team
