This is the one QB mystery that really concerns me. For the following reason(s).
First, the Panthers have expressed a serious interest in Carr. Along with the expressed interest, the Panthers have talked with his agent and with him before the Combine. The Panthers met with Carr at the Combine...one of their allowed "in-person" visits. The Panthers announced that they were "meeting" with Carr again early this week (Probably Monday---Today..).
Second, Derek Carr IS a very viable Veteran QB. He's had a terrific career based on statistics over the past nine (9) years. He has played very effectively for nine tears.... all for the Raiders. That would seem to indicate that he would be a reliable veteran here as well.... OR wherever he signs on.
Third, Carr has been tied to the Saints and the Bucs at various times this spring. And THAT is the most worrisome. Carr would be THE Prime-Mover QB in the NFC South if he were to sign with any one of the four teams. If the Saints sign Carr, or if the Bucs were to sign him, the Panthers would have a
S T E E P mountain to climb to be relevant in the Division race. And that's saying nothing about Atlanta.....who COULD be a dark horse in this deal as well.
SO... If the Panthers don't sign Carr, let's all pray he signs with the Jets or ...??? (Anywhere but the NFC South..).
Understand this.... I am NOT advocating for signing Carr (money being the primary issue..). I do however recognize his KSAs (Knowledge, Skill, Ability). AND sincerely hope and pray we won't have to face him twice this coming year.
That's the view from here...and obviously is just IMHO....
WELL.... SH*T...
SMH..... Well, there goes my worst nightmare. FIRST had to go and ruin my day. AND it's still early in the day. Things can still get worse...
