I knew I had a Carr rant in here somewhere:

He threw the ball 100 more times than Smith and with that managed 500 more passing yards....whoopity doo!
This year Carr appears to have taken a step forward....and been outplayed in head to head matchups by Alex Smith both times they've met. And frankly, it's been a walk both times. Smith played much MUCH better football than Carr in those two games.
**** that - Carr's done nothing to earn any mantle yet. Oh sure, he might. And he's probably more likely to do so than Smith. But this ****ing season-long coronation of Carr is garbage.

Thank God the era of Carr ballwashing is over and I don't have to hear anymore about how we screwed up by passing on him. The dude is as average as a quarterback gets. He's a pure system player with fringe athleticism and mediocre arm talent. He's just...there.
