The only way to move forward correctly is to move on from Carr. Sorry no hold over. We have to face the reality and take a gulp and move forward.
There is a lot of talk that Carr wasn’t at fault because of injuries, yet people with that take are the most staunch in the Rattler Ain’t It Category as well. The problem with that, is we have no clue if he can play at a starting level with starting players, because he hasn’t had a chance yet. Carr gets the excuse but he doesn’t? That doesn’t make sense.
It seems cutting Car helps us in long term if we look at a 5 year plan. I don’t understand the tank aspect people are saying. At some point there is going to be a reset, otherwise your just taking the same approach as the last 4 seasons and look how pathetic they have been.
A hard reset for a season, where you actually see if Rattler can be the guy is the right choice. It’s a Win - Win. If he proves he can be the guy, that means we can use a pick on another player to add to the team. If he can’t be the guy, then we likely will be positioned very well to draft the following season.
At the end of the day you have to decide what to do at QB it is the most important position in the game. Running it back with Carr and maybe winning 7 games, is more of the same old same old approach that has gotten us to this point.
It’s a new staff. We need a new direction. End of story. The only way you can decide how to move forward is seeing what you have and continually identifying needs to address. Carr does not help us if we look at building this team up over the course of 5 years. Keeping him will only hinder the progress.
