I believe this guy still has talent but come on Mark do you actually think that Carr will push Freeman??? It’s a reason why this guy had been carrying a clipboard, the only advantage he would have over Freeman is knowing Sully system! If you want Freeman to have real competition, trade for cousins or wait on the Raiders to get rid of Carson Palmer! Because there’s nothing in this years draft and there isn’t to many free agents out there that’s better than Freeman!

I sure wouldn’t call what he did with the Panthers “playing,” but his fancy gloves were sure pretty and attention getting.

Kind of like Cam’s white towel on his head.

Like Kyle Orton last year, I’m surprised he wouldn’t try AZ, Buffalo, or maybe Minnesota. At least reasonable chances f starting.

Carr should look at the Redskins. They need a QB now that they destroyed RG3.

This is a smokescreen. Bucs will sign someone who is going to compete as a starter. They will draft someone in the 3d round or sign a quality free agent. Carr doesnt fit the bill, no matter what his ties to Sully. Freeman needs to watch out…he is not long for this world if he continues to mess up. Word is that Schiano and him have had a falling out, and coach is looking for another QB to take the reins. If Freeman’s camp is sorry, then he gets the hook.

If he’s taking the minimum to play elsewhere it has to be with a team that he has a prayer of starting for. Freeman is still young and going through growing pains. That dude isn’t getting benched any time soon. If Carr really wants to start again, he should look to Minnesota or any of the other QB-deficient teams.

Come on now. David Carr still has tire tracks on him from Houston and his clipboard has been sewn on his hand for 5 years, so he can’t push Josh Freeman anywhere…

Are you kidding me? Unfair? Does anybody remember the beatings he took behind the expansion texans “line”? They totallu ruined him, making him gun-shy. He deserves another shot.

He is a decent backup, but when he was in houston that O-line was horrible and could not block a peewee football player

Dave been saving all of his wages the past 11 years. Just in case he turns out to be a “bust”.

@qdog112: I think it’s more proof that NFL teams really value experience with backup QBs – even if that experience wasn’t good.

But, sure, the good ole boy system is a much more likely reason. Guys like Jamarcus Russell are who the Bucs should really be looking at. I hear he is getting into pretty good shape these days.

Free agent of the year– can’t believe New York hasn’t tagged him yet.

David Carr being still in the NFL is proof-positive that the good ole boy system is alive and well. There at least 30 recently retired and newcoming QBs better than him, yet he’s got another chance? This proves that playing in the league is more about relationships, than skill.

The NFL is polluted with these type things, both players and coaches.

You have got to be kidding me. He was worthless 3 teams ago. Take Brady Quinn too and collect the whole set,

While most in the media and some fringe fans might not like this move, i’m ok with it.

He’s better than Orlovsky. He already knows the system. Hopefully, there won’t be any need for him to suit up in game. You can’t put all the blame on Freeman for last year. Although he had a small stretch of some horrible games, he’s not the one that allowed 500+ yards to Eli (including 10+/175yd+ to 2 *TWO* receivers) and he’s not the one that made Nick Foles look like Unitas.

I always thought Carr had the potential to be a really good starting QB but those first few users in Houston ruined him. Poor guy got killed on almost every drop back.

Capable guy and a good team player. Bucs could do a lot worse.

Can’t be any worse than Orlovsky can he?

This will be last shot. He’s a decent backup for a QB who never gets hurt.

I can throw 61 passes in 5 years. I’d be happy with a million or two a year. Where do I sign up to play backup QB?
