2011 NFL Free Agency: David Carr Back To Giants
by Ed Valentine on Jul 31, 2011 4:24 PM EDT
in New York Giants News
Email
PrintDavid Carr, backup quarterback for the New York Giants in 2008 and 2009, tweeted just moments ago that he will be returning to the team.
NY, round 2, can't wait to get back, Great Staff, Great Players, Best Fans in the game...and what an amazing city. 2much 2 pass up
Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger tweeted that this does not necessarily mean that current backup Sage Rosenfels is out of a job. Potentially, that would indicate the Giants might keep three active quarterbacks -- something they have not done the past couple of seasons.
Carr left the Giants as a free agent prior to last season, hoping to find a team where he would have an opportunity to start. He went to the San Francisco 49ers, but that did not work out well for the nine-year veteran. He played in just one game, completing five-of 13 passes.
In his two seasons with the Giants Carr played in nine games, completing 30-of-45 passes with three touchdowns.

Welcome Back Carr!
I liked you in Blue, but I hope you never actually see the field.

keeping 3 QBs
would seem like an odd allocation of resources when $$ is tight. I would think Sage is out of a job.

Don't write of Sage yet...
Carr is not that much competition, Eli goes down our season is done!

I'm pretty sure if Eli goes down our season is done ...
whether it’s Sage or Carr.
Keep the cheaper one, and use the other roster spot for depth elsewhere.
I’d be a bit surprised though if Sage is the one to go, as it would make that trade with the Vikes last year look absolutely putrid.
unless they package him with Osi
for a deal worthwhile.
You never know.
First thing I thought of, right or wrong, when I saw the Carr signing was it could be prep for some other dealing.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
Package?
Interesting. Didn’t think of that.

I'd be cool with packing Sage for something else.
I don’t even know what we’ve got with him. With Carr, I’m pretty sure he could hold the fort for a game or two, but if Eli is really down, we’re sunk.

I was thinking the same thing.
I would think they keep Carr and release Sage, which would save around 1.5 to 2 mil in cap space I’m guessing.
Don’t see them keeping both Carr and Sage.

Mike Garofolo just said on the NFL Network that "there is a big spread between Giants and Bradshaw" in negotiations. He mentioned the Bengals as being interested.

One of these days we'll come on here and see a signing of some signifigance.
Hopefully. It’s hasn’t been a bad signing period, but it sure hasn’t been a great one. Seems like the teams that were good last year have been getting better…except the Giants.
by LightningCoach on Jul 31, 2011 5:14 PM EDT reply actions
the Giants big glaring hole on the team was Center
they signed a Center right away. There was nothing else on the market that was an upgrade that they needed to go out of their way to get.
I’m not sure what people are looking for, but signing a veteran C was the goal of this offseason. They did it, so the offseason can’t be considered anything other then a success. Who cares what everyone else is doing. You try to copy other teams, that’s how you end up being a POS team.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
If getting a veteran C was the only goal of this offseason, than Reese is a moron
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
+1
If we all put on blinders and saw only what our team has done, we’d all be pretty F’n happy. They replaced Ohara. They got the FB that many of us thought we should have drafted. They brought in Herzlich. All moves that I like.
I don’t give 2 s***s about what Philly does. Until we see them on the field.
They stressed Contniuity throughout the early part of the offseason, keep the team stable in order to move forward, and they’ve stuck to thier guns on this one so far. Only things left to do are Bradshaw, and Smith (Boss is expendable now that they can slide Pascoe back to TE) So here’s hoping they get those moves done.
You down wit JPP?
Amen to that
It seems as if everyone is just writing off the season b/c oif what the shegulls did. Really guys? If that’s the case, y should we even watch the games? Our team was good last year. 10-6 & led the league with 35 turnovers. That’s really the biggest thing we needed to correct. We’re gonna be good again this year & I venture to say that we won’t lose both games to the shegulls.
They’ll be tough, but if anyone knows what it’s like to knock off a supposed unbeatable team, it would be us Giants.
Packers, Saints, Colts, Bucs?
Really, the most active teams have been the Eagles, Patriots, Panthers, and Seahawks. Sure other teams made some moves, but those were the main teams. The Eagles and Pats did get better probably, but again how those teams are gonna gel together (i don’t worry about the Pats, but the eagles on the other hand) remains to be seen.

The fact is that the market as dried up
After those first 2 days of ridiculous contracts, the market has come back to Earth and everyone is being smart. Tulloch gets a 1-year deal. Edwards goes for $30 million.
If Bradshaw thinks he’s going to get a big deal, then he’s going to be waiting for a long time.

Snelling
Good player. Obviously I would prefer Bradshaw, but if he jumps ship we need somebody.
Man I go to AC for one weekend
And come back to see half the fans waiting in line to jump off the GW Bridge.
Let me put it this way… Did Philly get better, yes. Will they be NFC East favorites, yes. Should we be mad, yes.
Now with all that being said, that is not the reason for JR to pick up over priced free agents just for the hell of. Back in Apirl, we were all loving the draft and figured just a few minor FAs would help keep this team around the 10-6 or better mark. So when the lockout ends, they drop some O-line and add 2 guys to it, so is where they needed a lil youth and drop big salaries. They got an experienced punter to improve on that crappest part of the ST’s. Now what is hard to overcome is the Giants FAs that had low salaries when rookies (AB, Boss) are looking for bigger deals and this is a process for those sides to work out.
The point of all this is, can they play a damn regular season game before we crown teams winners and fire the whole front office?

He’s just as good as Bradshaw, more dependable (both ball security, and injury wise), and very versatile.
he’ll probably be cheaper too

he's nowhere near as good as AB.
Ronnie Brown is if he weren’t as injury prone,but…

indeed. I'd be okay with it
He also doesn’t have the injury concerns. But i think they are talking to him to put pressure on Bradshaw to accept their offer.
Really? He's faster than Bradshaw??
Have you watched either of the two play?
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ

BJ IS faster than AB.
You mean to tell me there isn't ONE photoshopped image of Optimus Prime with a New York Giants logo?? RIDICULOUS!!
Or to be more accurate, he's as fast.
BJ is pretty fast for a big guy.
You mean to tell me there isn't ONE photoshopped image of Optimus Prime with a New York Giants logo?? RIDICULOUS!!
Scratch that, BJ is faster, just not by much.

I thought Eli's comments were the most telling
basically, he chose the team he has now over one with Plaxico.
I like it
sigh...
but
thats something a leader would say
Eli is not a leader

I have not yet begun to procrastinate
Pat Traina tweet (that Ed retweeted)
“Is it me or is anyone else starting to get the feeling the Giants are going into a transition mode?”
I can see this. Eli, Tuck and Antrel still has some time left on their careers so maybe they’re trying to build a better team around the young talent we’ve got. Not saying we’re entering a full fledged rebuilding, but maybe JR sees us as 2-3 years away from a SB? Don’t all jump down my throat, but it is something I’ve been thinking about.
your not totally wrong
transition mode is different from rebuilding. Teams like the Rams have been rebuilding for a few years and last year showed it has payed off alot.
The Pats over the past few years have been transitioning their team. Gone are all the vet LBs and Secondary that won them 3 SBs. They have replaced them though the draft and a few FAs the last few years but still have been a playoff team that wins 10+ games a year. Theres nothing to say the Giants can’t do something like that… get younger while still competeing

I've thought they were rebuilding since 2008
6 new guys on defense, 5 new guys on offense
Basically half the team
Not at all.
Last two years were more transition years. The OL is probably the only unit in transition, but to me it appears solidified. I’d say from 2009, these next few years are the 2-3 year plan.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I'm thinking that many teams go 5-11, 6-10 when changing out half of their starters in 3 years
Giant fans are just spoiled, and at the same time frustrated at the past two years shortcomings
teams can replace a lot of starters
and still compete (i.e. Pats). 2003 and 2004 were rebuilding times for the Giants (new young QB, new coaching staff, core players in the draft, etc). We need half a season to tell if they will do stuff like this

I doubt JR thinks this way
He goes out,gets the most out of the draft,straight BPA.
Looks at his cap,looks at his roster who’s locked up, who’s free,does an objective assessment of our team.Takes the big picture into account while working the FA market..no desperation,and fills holes cognizant of the $ he will need to re-sign who next year.
Sorry Pat Traina but,ehh.This is the 2nd time today I’ve found your analysis lacking.

Smith's recovery
This shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Rotoworld:
Giants players are reportedly under the impression that Steve Smith will miss (microfracture surgery) “at least” the first month of the season.
GM Jerry Reese conceded that Smith was unlikely to be ready by early September. This news lends more credence to the belief that he could be headed for the PUP list to start the season. Smith is tentatively expected to re-sign on a one-year contract. We recommend targeting breakout candidate Mario Manningham as a high upside WR3.
"It's time for other guys to have opportunities." -- Tom Coughlin
It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
Been saying it
all along to those that are trumpeting Smith as unstoppable. He’s going to have a long way coming back, which is why I keep talking about Miller. They need THREE guys who can catch the ball well and threaten. Barden is going to be on PUP as well. Beckum can’t block, it’s obvious it’s a pass play when he’s out there. Miller is the answer. Boss has way too many downsides to offer him a big contract. I have to agree with Pat on this. It really appears that the Giants are content to sit back and not really do what they have to in order to seriously contend. I think they are using Coughlin to ease into this transition, and he’s been told to start playing the young guys. Hence no real FA signings designed to immediately help the team. I could easily be wrong, but that’s what it appears to be. If a team that won the NFC East had beaten my six straight, and I was serious about contending, I wouldn’t have brought in a punter and a replacement center when there were some legitimate guys who could have helped.
if u already know the team is not going to contend
why even watch this season?
And Smith being on the PUP is not the end of the world, non of us no how he has healed or is rehabing

sorry nyg123 but I don't get where you or Traina are coming from.
What transition is this?The man knows value,he doesn’t operate under desperation,needs,Phucking Philadelphia,none of this.He’s operates each part of the off-season with an eye on long-term success and present needs.
I don’t get the transition thing at all.No one tells TC who to play,at all.We don’t have alot of capspace this year and when we cut guys to make room we looked first at re-signing our own guys for what they are worth.If thats not mutual he will find another way.
What was out there that we could afford?Nothing but what we got a starting C.
You actually even sound scared of Philly.
And are staking your views in football to that of a sheila.Good luck.

Barden is on preseason PUP
which means nothing

That's fine
but I’m pretty sure the past 3 seasons have told us the first month or so of the season means nothing.

yeap
“He’s going to have a long way coming back” is a phrase to use for Chad Jones who almost lost his leg and may (he still may go back to baseball too) have a chance to play next year. SS12 not playing till Mid-Oct s no where close to this

Sage
Does everyone forget how well Sage held kicks for Tynes after Dodge failed at that? Does anyone remember NOT hearing anything bad about the FG & PAT after Sage took over holding duties?
Hey, I thought Carr was a pretty decent back-up, but Sage brings so much more to the table. When he was with the Texans and Schaub got hurt, he actually stepped in and did really well. Then he went to Minnesota with the intention of being the starting QB, but before he could even sniff the field the Favre-saga began and he got lost in the wash.
I vote for Sage over Carr!
3 million for holding duties
doesn’t seem to be a great way to spend money

Welcome back David
I loved watching him at Albany practices and the Pre-season. It pissed me off the way SF treated him. I am a happy man
To those wondering about carrying 3 QBs
It’s a rule change, you get an extra roster spot for the third QB, no third QB, no extra active player
can Jerrel Jernigan be considered a 3rd QB?
Me thinks Rosenfels or Carr won’t take the role of 3rd QB on a team whose first QB never gets injured.
Plus I don’t think it would be smart to spend much $$ on backup QBs.
BBV- Bring Back Van Pelt
The FO seems to be hoping the cheaper of the 2 QB's prevail.
and as you said at the start of the thread,hope we never see ’em throw a ball that counts.

My guess is both Sorgi and Rosenfels are cut
And the third QB a more developmental guy
Exactly. If were that close to the cap than we can’t be spending 3 mil on a placeholder.
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
Carr back with the Giants. THIS IS GOOD
Thank you, you got it done. Follow me on twitter @it's about time you A-HOLES
That's nice but...
Get me a linebacker and re-sign, Bradshaw, Boss and maybe it’s time to trade Osi. I love him but I’m getting tired of his malcontent and we have plenty of more than capable DEs
