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.

I agree with everything but the . . . . Install. For what I've seen, it looks like they just roll out there and do whatever!
 
I find it really odd that we are so desperate for anything that we are clinging onto the first rythm of passes Carr has had all year as some wild amazing thing. At 150 I’m expecting that type of quarter, every effing quarter.

Carr by and large has not been GOOD this year. I have stood on the Carr soap box all effing season. One little stretch doesn’t have me convinced. I stand by the statement I made where I think we should start Winston this week.

We need to stop fooling ourselves, Carr has problems. Winston does too. Let me tell you something, I don’t think this team wants to play for Carr, I think it’s getting worse by the week.

Our Coach has a duty to keep this team together. If he rolls Carr out there this week, this team is shot. Vets will want out at end of season if they don’t already.

I’m willing to say that Carr has potentially been playing through injuries that has affected his throwing, but it’s that in combination with his attitude on the sidelines that really makes me upset. He’s got the look of a guy that thinks it’s everyone’s fault but his, for god sakes it’s like he just sits there thinking he’s too good to read the tablet and see what the defence is doing.

Then you have him going out admitting the Atlanta pick 6 was picked off for a TD in practice and he still went out there and ran that play? Where’s the leadership?

I’m serious, where’s the leadership? Someone show me where. That’s my big problem.

Now we got the concussion stuff. I can’t see how he could keep coming back from that this season.

I’m not saying he’s faked injuries, so don’t take this out of context, but I would be lieing if I hadn’t had a thought about it a couple weeks back in the Vikings game. To me if I’m looking at it from a neutral perspective, sure is funny how that injury happened the drive after the fumble. To me the timing is weird. But I’m not insinuating that he faked it. But I also know you can make yourself seem concussed when being checked out by a doctor.

So who knows the truth but I wouldn’t put it out of the realm of possibility.
 
Why!?!? I have no desire to watch him continue to lead us to losing. Was planning on watching (some) of the game but can’t justify wasting 3 hours watching him AND Dennis lose to Carolina. Well, LA @ BAL it is.

Why is Carr taking 1st team snaps after his second concussion in 3 weeks? There is a player safety concern.

It’s becoming clear to me that there is an emphasis to justify the mistake of bringing Carr in over going all out to win.
With the way Loomis was attacking fans last night the evidence of how poorly run our team is run is overwhelming.

Sean and Drew built a brick house, now we have a straw house with no foundation.
 
A friend of mine was concussed on the job. (police officer) She was out for a week but when she returned she was having problems. Eventually she had to retire and go on disability. Thirty years later and she can't do simple math in her head and has to read with one eye closed.

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.
