Re: If Kyle Orton becomes available .....

I still think David Carr would be a very capable fill-in while we groom our long-term QB.

I still think David Carr can be a long-term solution for someone. He had a tough situation in Houston but he always showed that he had skills to work with. He has a very good arm and can run as well as any QB in the league minus Vick.

I also think Kyle Boller can be a good QB. He was actually playing well before they went in a different direction in Baltimore.

Re: If Kyle Orton becomes available .....

The biggest problem Carr faced at Houston was the LT situation. With the immediate retirement of Boselli after the expansion draft, they did nothing to address this situation until they picked Duane Brown in 2008.

All they did was stick him behind a succession of lower round picks, guards being played out of position etc (sounds familiar?) resulting in him being sacked senseless.

The advantages of Carr are:

1. He costs nothing and will be comparatively cheap
2. He's rebuild a lot of his confidence behind a decent NYG line and has looked good in relief of Manning
3. It allows us to go with one of Davis, Campbell or Bulaga

What people forget is that last year Carr outperformed Vick

and between 2004-06, Carr out peformed Vick with a higher QB rating and throwing for over 1500yds more during this period.

Manning vs Brees in the SB and we're debating Edwards, Carr, Orton and Boller
