Anyone else question why did Carr leap?

Is it not possible to be appreciative of the effort and applaud it, while also pointing out it was a terrible decision?
I think so, but that's not exactly what I'm reading from some of these posts. Some have other motives for doing so. I've never taken you for a Carr's hater, so it doesn't apply to you.
Wouldn’t the chance of getting that 1st down have been higher w/ Carr on the field instead of Haener?
I'd probably say Haener could get there a little quicker. Whether he makes it, who knows?
