David Carr looked like he was in some serious pain after he took that hit following the 36 yard scramble. It was also very disturbing watching him grimace every time he threw the ball. It was a very courageous effort, but if he plays next week, he could seriously aggravate his injury. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/2261134 Meanwhile, we drafted a QB in the 3rd round last year in hopes of developing him. I've only seen Dave Ragone play once in college, and that's when he beat Florida State in a dog fight last year. I wasn't overly impressed with the guy either. He has little or no mobility in the pocket. His throwing motion is awkward. Although he has above average arm strength, he's a lot like Chris Simms in that he locks onto receivers, and has difficulty locating the 2nd or 3rd option. Basically he's a raw QB talent with huge size (6'4, 250lbs) and a cannon arm. Either way I say give him the rock, and avoid future damage to the franchise QB. The guy hasn't taken a snap all season long. Let's let him earn his paycheck and prove that he belongs in the NFL.
agreed!! It's not like we'd spoil our "playoff hopes." No sense in hurting ourselves NEXT year by not letting Carr recover.
Plus, what if the guy has a studly game? He could become very valuable trade bait. No downside that I can see.
Actually people were making comments about how Chris Palmer showcased Rob Johnson for Jax trade bait when we drafted Rangone.
Ragone reminds me of Bucky Richardson. He can scramble though not fast, and he stays in the pocket trying to make something happen.
