Or did you think I was too stupid to know what a eugoogoly was?
Aug 2, 2007 David Carr has Post-Concussion Syndrome, Inanity, Sandy Vag
Meanwhile, back in Spartanburg, SC…
By bringing in Zoolander, the Panthers managed to find the one QB in the NFL with an uglier throwing motion than Cajun Jake. Of course, that doesn’t worry the Panthers. Oh no. They think it’s a laugh riot when Sandy drops back to pass.
Kids, cover your eyes.
‘We look like two guys who are just out of the freaking boat, just swinging out there,’ Carr conceded Wednesday.
Ok, first, I have no idea what Carr’s quote means. Off of what boat? Swinging what? Second, “Kids, cover your eyes” accurately describes the David Carr Experience. In total. Enjoy.
The article continues
Carr, who signed a free-agent deal in April, said one thing he enjoys about being with the Panthers is that quarterbacks coach Mike McCoy hasn’t tried to mess with his throwing motion, as the Texans’ coaches did.
Just a hunch, but that could be because you are the backup QB. I seriously doubt if Capers or Kubiak were spending a lot of time worrying about the deliveries of Dave Ragone or Sage Rosenfels. Then again, neither of them throws like Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds, so who knows.
Sandy again talked about this hot topic with the media following Wednesday’s practice. We have obtained the unedited copy of the quote.
On how he developed his unorthodox throwing style: I started when I was 12 and it just kept on working [until I got to the NFL]. It wasn’t until I got into the NFL did they really start to talk about it[, saying things like "Jesus Christ, why are you throwing like a cripple?!"]. Here, they just let me worry about other things [like holding the clipboard and making sure my hair is perfect]. That’s what’s great about Mike[; he lets me hold the clipboard with either hand]. We work on footwork drills and things like putting arc on the ball, but not the actual mechanics of me throwing the football. [We tried working on mechanics at first, but he mumbled something about "hopeless lost cause" and quit.] I can’t tell you what a relief it is for Mike to just let me go out there and play ball [in my comfy red jersey, where I am safe from the bad men]. It’s been nice, man[, collecting a paycheck without doing anything productive; it's a lot like it was in Houston]. Real nice.

Maybe if Zoolander becomes the starter, they will work with Wilson to develop a football that perfectly compliments his limp-wristed throwing style.

I believe the prodigy’s name was “Winston” Shake. Your lack of obscure ’80’s movie knowledge is appalling.
The Lamar reference was gold by the way Matt. That article was a riot as well. Carr: the cerebral genius who can’t learn in 15+ years how to throw a football. How dare his Houston coaches, you know, coach him in how to play the game. He’s too smart for that. It appears this coach has abandoned coaching his mechanics. Because really, what does David Carr have left to learn about the NFL?

Wilson = company who makes footballs for the NFL…….not a Tri-Lam

I finally got around to reading the ESPN Mag article about Carr from a few weeks ago. Wow, talk about a knob-slobbering effort. The writer just about did everything short of saying it was 100% the Houston Texans’ coaching staff’s fault Carr stunk.
Just wait, Carolina. You’ll see. Just like Harrington will suck in the ATL, Carr is going to suck in Carolina.
