Dump Carr or no?

Carr is not the answer. We all know that. Even the strongest Carr supporters are saying that if we give him even more weapons and he still can’t win in 2020, he should be gone. That’s not a vote of confidence to me. Think about it. Tom Brady played behind an offensive line that was nowhere as good as Carr’s and with offensive weapons nowhere as good as what Carr had in 2019. Yet Brady’s record was 12-4, with 3 more touchdown passes and 107 more points scored (420 to 313). Imagine how excited Brady would be to have another Gronk-like TE in Waller? Or a running back with the quality of Josh Jacobs? Or a young, possession receiver like Hunter Renfrow? Or a running back out of the backfield like Jalen Richard? Brady would use these weapons, throw TD passes and, most importantly, score points. With 107 more points scored, we would have easily been in the playoffs.

I’m against any Brady talk but I cannot argue these facts.

Derek Carr isn’t going anywhere this year and the only QB I would trade for is Stafford to replace Carr with but I doubt Detroit does something so stupid.

I agree 90% with this. Bridgewater is the only other one I see on the market that I might be interested in. But, is he an upgrade over Carr? Like I said on the other thread, as much as I like Carr, I believe he is part of the problem. Just not a big enough part to dump him this season. Get the offensive weapons, let him run with it, and draft a QB to see what they have. I wouldn’t be opposed to Jalen Hurts, as long as he isn’t thrown in the fire from the beginning. Let him sit a year.
