Giants Sign David Carr


I have a bad feeling about this....

Sure, David Carr is a servicable backup quarterback to Super Bowl XLII MVP Eli Manning -- I'll never get tired of saying that -- but I just have a bad feeling (with Manning rumored to be on the cover of Madden 09) that something bad is going to happen next season.

Carr was drafted No. 1 in 2002 and since then he's been on the Texans and the Panthers. With both of these teams, Carr wasn't given much chance to succeed as he was sacked 262 times in 79 career games. That's an amazing amount of sacks. One thing that the Giants have gotten much better these past few seasons is protecting the QB. So, who knows what'll happen with Carr on the Giants.

Hopefully, Manning will play out next season without injury and we won't ever have to find out what type of QB, David Carr can be on the Giants -- outside of preseason games and garbage time when the Giants are running the score up on opponents like the 18-1 New England Patriots.

I do know one thing though. After this season, it's unwise to give up on a No. 1 pick too early. He could turn into the Super Bowl MVP or something. There I go again...
