Derek Carr practiced today.

Too much at stake for DA. If he wins with JW or TH, the heat for the Carr signing will rise.

I don’t believe Carr faked his injury and instead think he’s going to play even if he should not.

However, I will also say that if he gets all the first team reps he needs to start, because contrary to what the Madden all-stars think, it’s a lot harder to win playing the back up if he doesn’t get reps doing the install with the 1’s during the week before the game.

Agree. The flip side to this is how much is at stake for Carr or any marginal QB. You don't ever open the door to competition. The "fake injury" crowd doesn't get that. There is no way Carr isn't advocating to start even if he can't go. The same thing happened with Winston and the broken back. Weak leadership fearing uncontrolled outcomes/controversy saw Winston start after an injury, saw Dalton beyond 11/1 when we couldn't score points, and will see that Carr starts vs Carolina. Weak coaches make bad decisions out of fear.
