David Carr would have been a superstar if he wasn't drafted onto that expansion team, or atleast sat a year while they put the rest of the team together.
LMAO.

No, he was never gonna be good. Everyone talks about the beating he took but no other QB they stuck behind that line got sacked as much as he did. The reason he got sacked so much is because of David Carr. He was like Robo here who got sacked at a ferociously high rate.
I don't think you ever totally know, but I suspect that dalbuc is probably right. I think if you are good enough, it eventually shows up, even if it takes time (see, Rich Gannon).
The thing about David is that he made it through the bad years, was playing at a high level and then it all fell apart. Not just for David but the whole team. Even Case Keenum came in after Carr was benched and played really good football but it was a team that could not win. Back to David Carr. He could do well in a new system but it is a game of inches and he seems to be a few inches off target. I am just very glad that we got Licht because he is a good talent evaluator and I know he would not draft a QB with terrible footwork at no.7. I am expecting one of the top 3 QB'S or a lineman.

Well and even Gannon really was good in KC. His problem was they didn't throw enough for him to accumulate stats.
The buzz this week about Carr has been his penchant for staying after practice and throwing for an extra 20 minutes with Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews. In my 11 years of covering the Senior Bowl I’ve never seen a quarterback turn down the post-practice interview session time with NFL scouts and media members to do that, and it’s made quite a favorable impression on the NFL scouting community.The 6-foot-2, 219-pound Garoppolo has shown he belongs among the top college quarterbacks during the past two weeks. He completed 66 percent of his passes while throwing for 5,050 yards with 53 touchdowns with just nine interceptions as a senior.“My biggest strength is my knowledge of the game,” Garoppolo said. “I’m a football geek. I really like learning about football and about schemes, and also about defenses and how to beat them. Obviously, the physical stuff, too. The quick release is something I have been trademarked with.”Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald has been the star of the Senior Bowl since blowing up Baylor’s massive Cyril Richardson, who at 6-foot-4, 343 pounds, is believed to be the best guard prospect this year, on Monday in 1-on-1 drills. Despite being 6-foot, 285 pounds, Donald has been unblockable at the Senior Bowl and has seen his stock rise from the second round to the late first round – and possibly even higher.
The more I see of Donald, the more I like him. Would love to see him lined up next to McCoy and then just turn them loose. Watching Donald's highlight reminds me of what Sapp was like at Miami.
David Carr would have been a superstar if he was drafted into the Arena league.
Fixed it for ya.
