Quote:Well to answer the question - it doesn't, but even the best football name wasn't saving that scrub. Besides I think the "name" thing is little more than an intangible. I think it is an interesting study, but I don't think a name makes the player or dooms the player. 

 

I do find all this love for Derek Carr amusing though. These are the same people that trumped up garbage like Zach Dysert and would insult anyone who didn't think Dysert would be a good pro too, though, so I am never surprised 

 

I thought Zac Dysert would be a good developmental QB. It's hard to tell how a QB has developed or how his pro career will work out when sitting the bench behind Peyton Manning. 

 

Also I don't think you have a clue as to what "trumped up" means. 

 

As for the Carr love, I have only seen him play once so I'm not really going to say either way what I think he will or won't be at the next level. But at least he's putting up impressive numbers against weaker competition which is what you would expect a potential high round pick to do. If he was struggling or if you watched more than one game you'd have a case against Carr, as it stands you're just grasping at straws.
