If David Carr had been originally drafted by a team with half a brain on the offesnvie side of the ball who would have given him an offensive line and more than an average of 1.2 -1.3 seconds to throw the ball after the snap, I think he would have been Carson Palmer, Peyton Manning material.
Unfortuantely, he may be FUBARed at this point.
( He does not trust his o-line and only trusts his dump-offs (well, actually, he only reads them) when he's throwing. I'll trust Kubiak's assessment of Carr's performance at the end of the year and see if he is starting for us next year.
Carr's definitely in a no-win situation here, though. I doubt even if he took us to the playoffs, people would still be calling for our heads during our inevitable exit our first time into the playoffs.

I mostly agree with that. Maybe not quite Payton Manning, but I do think he is a quality QB.
It looks like he is headed towards a career like Archie Manning had in NO. I hope for you guys im wrong. Manning was really good, but always had an awful O-line, and never could become the star he could have been if he played somewhere else.
I respect Carr greatly. Anyone who can constantly get sacked 80 times a year and never get hurt or complain says something about his character.
Good luck in the future. It will turn around someday.
I wouldn't really call him Archie Manning. Archie Manning put up stellar numbers , or at least above average numbers during his time with NO.
David Carr puts up below-average numbers, with flashes of greatness once or twice a season.
Many fans (I'm not quite in this camp yet, but getting there) think that he's actually holding this team back with his play.
