Carr is certainly looking better then I thought he was.

He's a good player. I really liked his game coming out of college and he had a pretty solid rookie season.

Yes. And Yes.
I was looking briefly at the FA market, yeesh.
Have to consider at least bringing in someone for just in case purposes.

Looking out my window, the clouds are RACING by faster than I have ever seen. It's pretty cool to see.

Understood. He hasn't been very impressive so far so it's not like you're being unreasonable.

Much like I felt about the Barr pick. I am still not sold on him.

man dude you whine a lot, i think teddy being our qb bothers you. You always talking up derek carr and mariota... newsflash teddy was a steal at #32 bro, he's a franchise qb.. in oakland some are already complaining about carr inability to convert 3rd downs

btw teddy put up 10 points this game, its not his fault walsh is missing 30 yard chipshot fg's

carr was one of the more overrated qb's last year along with blake bortles.... teddy was the most underrated, the advanced stats love teddy and say at least 7 interceptions he threw last year were not his fault. Carr on the other hand was lucky he didnt throw more
