Quote:Anyone see the video of this? He immediately waves for help and then starts almost crying on the field in pain. Really sucks, I liked Carr.

 

I saw every NFL.com video of this. The fact that Carr immediately beckoned medical personnel tells you how painful broken bones are. When a leg hurts that bad, especially at that location and the way he fell, it's highly unlikely to be anything else. He only grabbed it for a split second before yelling, "It broke!" five times, so anybody could have guessed he would need surgery to fix it.

 

I gained a new level of respect for Carr when I saw a picture of him being helped off the field. He actually smiled to the fans. Here was a man feeling extreme pain, depending on two people to be vertical, knowing the reason was "it's broke," looking happy from the neck up. The irony is not lost on me. Seeing T.J. Lang cry on the sideline made me even more impressed Derek Carr turned his frown upside down.
