I notice he move around in the pocket pretty well, and was able to extend plays once leaving the pocket.

If he plays next week against the Bucs they will eat him alive. It is what it is at this point with Carr's injury and I just hope it is not more than a game or two.

He's not a bad player.

with our offensive line woes, I'd have to agree.

He also played at a time when the defense was probably not as aggressive. Keep us in bounds, run the clock out, and go home.

Just about any QB is more mobile the Carr. That's just not really his thing. So when Haener took off running it looked a lot different. It certainly extended the plays, but it wasn't going according to the game plan or anything.

I think with a week of prep, Kubiak can come up with something workable for him. But it's still a massive challenge because it's a short week and not a lot of time to get reps. Having to come right out against the Bucs is far from ideal. Hopefully the Carr injury is minor and he'll be ready to play, even if sore.

This is what I saw....

I think he can make something work due to Haeners mobility. I don't think Carr is going to play. My understanding from my brief reading of his injury is that it will affect his ability to throw deep with any power and since that seems to be the only passing plays that scores points, it's kind of important.

You were hammered my friend.

Yeah, that makes sense. We'll see, but you're probably right.

Carr always acts like he's dying to get out of a game, and plays the next week. Mark it down...

He seemed pretty sure that there was something pretty wrong last night. Said it wasn't a pain tolerance thing, he just couldn't actually do the job. Sounds like a muscle tore that won't do what needs to be done. Kind of like when Drew tore his thumb ligament.

Maybe he will stop throwing 50/50 balls and throw more deliberate back-shoulder ones.

Yeah, I doubt he's a complete QB yet, but he moved around well last night and threw some accurate passes with very good velocity. I don't think he can come close to replacing Carr, but it would be nice to see what a more mobile QB could do behind our patch work OL.
