Durtee 0 Posted April 6, 2007 According to the Charlotte Observer David Carr has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Carolina Panthers. Carr, 27, made the decision after returning from a two-day visit with the Seattle Seahawks and meeting with his wife at their California home late Thursday night. Carr had visited with the Panthers Monday and Tuesday. The financial terms of the deal weren’t immediately available. http://www.charlotte.com/209/story/76173.html I guess thats a good move for both parties. Delhomme struggled at times last season so the Panthers needed a quality backup to come in and compete for the job. I think it's a good move for David Carr to and wouldn't be shocked if you won the job from Delhomme at some point this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's a good move for David Carr to and wouldn't be shocked if you won the job from Delhomme at some point this season. As a Panther fan, I am happy to see this signing of a legit backup... although personally i was rooting for Joey cause i think he could have been just as good, and probably at a lower cost (not that the terms have been disclosed yet). And i was almost certain Carr would have wanted to learn under Holmgren for 2 years since he is an offensive-minded coach... What kind of tuteledge is he going to get from Fox (former DC), and the "reknown" Jeff Davidson we signed to OC?? Carr must really think he can take the starting job from Delhomme... which could create a QB controversy, but at least Jake will be getting pushed for once...

The_Mad_Cats 0 Posted April 6, 2007 I'm happy to hear about it. As I stated in another post, I think Jake D. needs some extra motivation, and I think this certainly qualifies. Hopefully the contract terms will not be too offensive. I think I read somewhere that Carr might be listed as the emergency QB on gameday for the Seahawks if he signed because they were absolutely commited to keeping Seneca Wallace active. If true, I think this was an easy decision for Carr; 3rd string QB or potential to start sooner rather than later in Carolina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted April 6, 2007 Delhomme is a backup for me in a dynasty league, oddly, I don't really feel much of a threat from Carr to be honest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erb047 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Delhomme is a backup for me in a dynasty league, oddly, I don't really feel much of a threat from Carr to be honest... I feel the same way. Jake is too good to be benched for a bust like Carr. Carr is nothing more than an insurance policy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 985 Posted April 6, 2007 Carr is nothing more than a backup for a team who had the worst backup in the league in Wienke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jocstrap 8 Posted April 6, 2007 Well I like the move. Light a fire under Delhomme's arse, put a little pressure on him and see if the offense can get going. If not, I think Carr has a legitimate shot at taking over the position. A breath of fresh air for Carr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adam smitty 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Solid move for both. I assume Carr would have rather started somewhere, but at least now he is on a good team and will provide some heat for Delhomme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelerblitz 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Solid move for both. I assume Carr would have rather started somewhere, but at least now he is on a good team and will provide some heat for Delhomme. I agree it was a solid move for both teams. I think Delhomme now has some pressure on him to produce. It will be great competition for both in camps. Let's see what Carr can do with a line. John Fox also has pressure to win this year. Dont think he doesnt feel a native Bill Cowher breathing down his neck next year. This whole team and situation will be fun to watch. Good move for Carr and the Panthers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
