I think as well it comes back to WHY the questions were asked in the first place. Mike et al brought it up, and we’re all subsequently trying to interpret Moore’s answer, because of the previous report/“scuttlebutt”/slip of the tongue (however you want to take Russini’s comment) that implied Moore needed assurances that he wasn’t tied to Carr if he took the job.
The seed of doubt that Carr was a part if Moore’s plan was planted before he even took the job. I think ultimately it comes down to the fact that right now, on day 1 essentially, he does not know yet what’s possible with regards to Carr’s contract vs the cap situation vs the options at qb (either in house or outside of it). That’s why he talked about it all as a process that they would do together. Whether Carr is the QB or not, he will still be an active part of that process as it directly relates to his contract (restructure and keep him as QB1, try and figure out a trade situation, or figure out a way to do a post June 1 cut).
