Quote:All those are fine and dandy, but you expect that attitude from a potential franchise QB.

 

The pressure thing scares me, I admit.  His footwork isn't the best either.  If he had Garrapollos footwork and comfort level under center, he would be a better prospect.

 

I have no problem taking him as a potential guy - but I wouldn't touch Carr in the top 20.  I don't think you can really "fix" how you handle pressure.  To me, how you behave under pressure is by far the most important attribute when "evaluating" a QB.  The great arm doesn't matter at all when you sht the bed like he did against USC.

Every QB would melt under the pressure he faced against USC. That game was a talent mismatch of the highest order. Carr was getting pressured instantly. Him and Adams were the only people that belonged on the field against USC that game.

 

I know I'm not going to be able to convince the people who throw out 3 years of other games plus a full week of exemplary in depth senior bowl practice coverage because of one OMGGGG HE SUXXED AGAINST USC game. However, for the other level headed people who realize that one bad bowl game is just one small piece of the total evaluation puzzle, hopefully they can realize that Carr is still a very good QB prospect overall.
