Im fine with Carr in the 2nd.  At 7, huge mistake.  Mostly short passes in a gimmick offense.  He might turn out to be great, but the only time he played against decent talent he got embarrassed.

I don’t get that.  you are either good enough to be our starting qb or you are not.  if you are you are worth going 7th in the draft.  if you are not you aren’t worth wasting a 2nd on.

What dont you get?  I dont like him at 7.  I dont think he is ready to start in the NFL.  If he happens to fall to us in the 2nd, I am fine with that pick, but ultimately I dont want any of these QBs not named Teddy

because there really isn’t much gray area when it comes to QBs.  if they fall on one side they are priceless.  if they fall on the other they are worthless.  so it doesn’t matter where we draft Carr or any other QB.  it will either end up being a great pick or a horrible one.  and Carr wont be avail. in the 2nd so if we want him we will have to take him in the first.

Anyone watch “The Brady 6” on NFL network?  Basically went over the 6 QBs taken in the draft ahead of Brady and how Brady looked at the combine and his scouting report.  Even if you hate Brady, it’s actually a pretty good show.  Based on that, while I personally am not 100% sold on Carr, I won't take his scouting report as gospel and be too concerned with what is in it.  If the coaching staff thinks he's the future for the team, then draft him when you think you can get him.

Glennon has a ton more upside than Carr. That's the evaluation our staff has to make but when true Bucs fans, not trolls, are down on Mike Glennon, particularly in favor of anyone in this draft class, I really scratch my head.  Say what you want about Schiano, he was dead right about Glennon, kid is going to be a great QB in the league soon.

Glennon struggles running to his left and throwing on the run from the left.  Carr has no problem moving from the pocket to his left and throwing on the run from that side.Carr's weakness is clear in that he needs to improve his pocket awareness but he isn't going to take many sacks.  Carr has a quick release like Jimmy G but is also athletic enough to evade but he doesn't do it enough.

so you aren't in favor of upgrading any postions on this team from last year because that's not supporting our guys?  there isn't a single team in the NFL that would trade for Glennon as their starter.  you cant win in this league with a bottom tier QB.  who knows if any of these prospects become upper tier QBs but not trying is not an option.  until we find our guy we will never contend.

Why would you think Glennon is a bottom tier QB?  I'm always in favor of an upgrade but QB is not a place that where our team needs it the most.  Defense is how you contend btw - if your dont have a defense you have nothing so I respectfully disagree.

You guys are privy to professional NFL scouting reports? Every QB coming out has question marks Manziel is to short, Bridgewater has arm strength and accuracy issues, Bortles is green against top notch talent, Carr has to to live down his brothers legacy and some mechanics are in need fine tuning. When all is said and done the Bucs will take a QB in this draft. Who that QB is will be revealed in sometime in early May. Whomever it is I will trust the professionals to make the right choice.

I’m fine rolling into next year with Glennon and McCown, but if we do take one of these top QBs I would go with Carr.  The more of his tape I watch and the more of his interviews I see the more I like him.  I think he is humble and has his head on straight.  His older brother helps him a bunch.  He gets flack for being in a dink and dunk system this year, but if you look at previous stuff the guy can throw.  He has great mobility but is a QB first.  I think he has a high upside in the right situation.  He is a heck of a leader on the field too.

He's never officially been his coach, but he's considered a close friend of the Carr family (since he coached David Carr - though that was actually short-lived) and he's worked with Derek Carr before, as recently as this fall. I think these things can be overblown - remember last year that Marrone passed on Ryan Nassib despite him being linked all the time.

Exactly, familiarity can cut both ways. He may know/understand Carr’s flaws in a way others don’t. I don’t think the connection means anything. They are not going to draft a guy just to draft one. Licht, Lovie, Tedford their futures all depend on getting the QB spot right. This ain’t charity.

I can see Carr being the first QB drafted.  He will blow everyone away with his Pro Day and team work outs.  Unlike TB/Bortles/JFF, Carr has a real NFL caliber arm and can actually sling the rock.  The other QBs need to do some more arm curls because they are severely lacking arm strength.

You can’t really fault him for running his team’s offensive system.  I consider all his short passes as hand offs.  I’ve also noticed that his receivers have the dropsies because they can’t handle the heat when Carr has to zip it.  Especially Burse and Peck.  Even Adams has the dropsies on bullets.  The only sure handed receiver was Josh Harper and when he went down for the rest of the season in the 1st Qtr of the San Jose St. game Fresno’s offense wasn’t as efficient and was out of sync.

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/cfb/130964/derek-carrScouts Inc.'s Todd McShay has a fourth-round grade on Fresno State QB Derek Carr.McShay also labeled Carr the biggest risk of the quarterback group since people are mentioning him in the first-round. "I don't see it," McShay began. "60 percent of his throws within five yards of the line of scrimmage, struggles against pressure and that tape I watched against USC, that is not a quarterback, to me, that looks like a potential starter in the league." It can be difficult to separate quarterbacks from systems, and Carr's inability to fire in the face of a pass rush has been well documented in the form of poor balance, but we still expect him to be, at worst, an early second-round pick.

Derek Carr expected to work out for Browns on MondayBrian Hoyer says that last year’s torn ACL isn’t going to hold him back in a quarterback competition against whoever the Browns bring in to face off against him and the team is reportedly starting the process of finding that player on Monday.Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr will be in for a private workout with the team on Monday. Carr is the first of this year’s draft prospects to pay a visit to the Browns, who have raised some eyebrows by passing on pro day workouts and combine interviews with the top prospects.Any cost associated with missing those opportunities is mitigated by the time the Browns will have to visit with Carr, Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater and any one else they want to meet with before draft day rolls around. Even before the meeting, Browns coach Mike Pettine knows he likes Carr’s arm.“I think he’s the best natural thrower as far as arm strength and when you’re just looking at the guy, natural thrower, in the draft,” Pettine said. “(He’s) very physically gifted. And a lot of times it’s hard to bet against the family history as well. You’re talking about like a Jake Matthews that it’s the old ‘don’t bet against the genetics.’ I think he certainly falls into that category as well.”Carr’s name hasn’t been mentioned in relation to the top picks in the draft as often as some of the other prospects, but the Browns have a slew of picks beyond the fourth overall selection and could use them to maneuver into position for Carr even if they opt to go in another direction with their top choice.

We'll see. He looked good in preseason, but I still think he is going to crumble under pressure when he faces 1st string defenses that are actually scheming in regular season games. I would predict he is either hurt or benched by week 6 and Schaub is back out there under center. Or maybe McGloin, who might actually be the best QB on their roster.
