Carr was so intent on tidying up that day, on Oct. 25, 2015, that by the time Jones saw him, the quarterback had two armfuls of wrappers, plastic cups and discarded beer bottles.

 

He was about to go out on the field and he was looking for a trash can. He couldnt find one, Jones recalled.

 

I said, Derek, why dont you let me take care of that? I know you have to go play the second half. He just looked at me, like, Thank you and ran out to the field.

 

Kind of Anti Raider no?

Almost sounds like an OCD

He had so many injuries in his career, it's hard to keep them all straight.

Carr looks like a franchise QB. He's the type of guy you can easily envision winning titles. I just wonder how much injuries will end up derailing that. Carr is relatively young, and will have to deal with this for the remainder of his career. Injured QB's (especially back injuries) don't fare well in this league. His career could very well end up being Romo esque imo. Edited by DriveFor1Outta5

Good health is always part of the equation.

Some comments he made really took me aback.

 

"I think he just got roughed up there," Del Rio said. "He got tackled, and something caused his back to spasm up. I didn't see much that would indicate that he would be injured, but his back spasmed up, so that's what it was."

 

Told that Del Rio said it was a spasm, Carr said, "I'm glad he knows. That's awesome."

 

 

 

"It won't be fun," Carr said of the flight back to Oakland. "But at the end of the day, no one really cares. I'll do my best to get comfortable, but as soon as I see my two baby boys, it will feel a little bit better."

 

 

I don't know boo about the guy, but he comes off as a dick, to me.

It's funny you post this Gugs...during training camp Derek, his family, and Del Rio were being interviewed by Derek's brother, David...I remember thinking at the time that I thought it was odd how he spoke to his HC- he was probably just playing around, but one could definitely take it as being a little disrespectful to his superior...I kinda just brushed it off as never really hearing Derek speak before, but after your post, it does somewhat seem like he has a wise-ass attitude with his HC.

Not for nothing, but you're likely mistaken about the power structure of most NFL teams. Hard to consider Del Rio the superior in that relationship when you take a look at their pay. It is much more important for Del Rio to keep Carr happy than it is for Carr to keep Del Rio happy.

 

I'm not disagreeing with your overall point that there needs to be respect between likely the two most important roles on each NFL team.

Humber goes back in with a broken hand. Ronnie Lott cuts his friggin finger off and goes back in. Bledsoe (Pats) has his elbow stapled shut on the bench and goes back in. But this guy can't go back in, in a must win game, for his team.

 

It's generational. I see it at work all the time.

My Mom had a fractured vertebrae. She went to the grocery store every day. Shes 79 yrs old and the doctor said she should just keep moving if she can tolerate it...its the best thing for a person with that kind of injury. I guess its a pain tolerance issue. Edited by BringBackFergy

Aren't you the guy who refused to take his sick dog to the vet? I hope and pray you have no offspring.

She had squinty eyes, not a severed digit! I had kayaks and a NYC vacation. Excuse me if the !@#$ing timing wasn't good. The dog turned out to be fine, so mind your business and stay on topic.

Now who is getting emotional?

 

 

Or are you a jerk?

EJ looked better than this year's Carr. Careful what you wish for.

 

EJ played a lot calmer in relief. But that last throw was a typical EJ mistake. I like our chances against him because he'll be too excited and make the usual EJ mistakes. His biggest weakness is the mental aspect. Which is TT's strength.

This constant judging of everyone and everything is the modern day illness.

 

You must be a millennial. You're damn right I"m judging this arrogant little prick. Disrespecting his coach like that to the media. Coming out of a game in which his TEAM (you wouldn't know that word) needed him.

 

Quitter. Punk Arrogant, snide, entitled little prick. And he's gonna hide behind his "golly gee, Beaver, what the heck just happened thurr?" bull ****.

 

I don't buy it. Just like I didn't buy it with Tebow. Another fake.

 

Get out there and play!!!! Wuss.

Not all broken vertebra present as the same type of injury. There can be vast variations in pain levels and restrictions in movement. So I am not saying he isn't a wuss, but I think it's hard to judge the situation without really knowing more.

You must be a Troll. Get back under your bridge. Then you get out there and play football with a broken back.

Gosh. No one cares. Heck, I'm gonna go hug my son. Screw my coworkers/team.

 

John 3:16

:lol: So, the root of your problem is with his faith? Would you rather he brought a carpet to the stadium and prayed to the east at halftime? Or would it be ok if he wore his Kasaya to the stadium instead of a suit? You need to come to grips with the fact that people are different my friend. :thumbsup:

Ah ha!!!! I get it. I'm an idiot. Sometimes, that is correct. But a troll, I am not. Bottom line, this is just like Sam Watkins. He had a choice to play through some discomfort FOR HIS TEAM, or to quit. He quit.

This has nothing to do with faith. The root of my problem is his lack of dedication, his disrespect toward his head coach and his arrogant little remarks that he made. He's just another guy with potential. He let his team down last year and he's letting them down again this year. If nothing else, this gives me more appreciation for Tyrod Taylor. He might not be great. But he doesn't quit on his team every time he gets a boo boo.

 

But yeah ... go ahead and try to make this political or religious or whatever the HECK it is you're trying to do. That's nice.

You are the one who brought up Tebow and Carr in the same breath. Then you ended it with a "John 3:16" there Gug. ;) Who made this religious? :lol:

Welcome to the Tyrod bandwagon. We got enough milk and cookies for everyone. Help yourself. Milk is in the fridge.
