The 2002 number one pick, David Carr, is coming to Seattle for a visit. The former Texans QB is looking for a team. He wants a fresh start and, if the Hawks want him, get his confidence back under the tutelage of one of the best offensive minds in the game. This obviously makes sense for Seattle, too. If he's a capable backup, and I mean a #2 and not gun shy (he was sacked 249 times in 5 seasons), then the Hawks can use Seneca as a wide out. And it could have a domino effect. If you use Wallace at wide receiver, you can trade a certain starting receiver and save cap space. Although that same receiver could be gone by or on draft day anyways, Carr or no Carr. Another factor in Carr coming to Seattle could be Trent Dilfer. The former Seahawk befriended Carr back when he was at college. Both went to Fresno State. Here's an old NFL.com article on said friendship prior to Carr's rookie year. In the article, Dilfer compares him a bit to Dan Marino and John Elway. 2 Comments |
I think David Carr would fit in nicely here. He's a good QB that's been playing for a terrible team. No QB would do well or be productive in that system with those players. If Carr would be willing to be a back up I'd love to have him as a Seahawk.
Carr's a former #1 overall, he's never had a chance to prove himself, but he's a tough guy. What about playing for the Raiders, or the Packers? Give the guy a shot, don't make him come in and sit behind an All-Pro. If we could get him, that's great for the 'Hawks, or else it shows a great mental deficiency on Carr's part. Perhaps he could use a season off to repair himself, sacked 249 times.
