Giants | Tom Coughlin wants David Carr back Tue Mar 5, 03:25 PM
New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said he wants the team to re-sign backup QB David Carr. 'I like the room with he and Eli and whoever else is in there," Coughlin said. 'Don't forget there's another side to David Carr. David Carr can run, he's fast, he's athletic, no matter who we're going to play he can be the opposition's quarterback and do it very well. He does a good job of it. He runs the option."
| Footballguys view: Carr has made a nice career out of being a backup behind Eli Manning. He may want to move on to get a chance at starting somewhere else. |

Giants | David Carr likely to hit market Fri Mar 1, 10:28 PM
Impending free-agent QB David Carr (Giants) is expected to hit the open market, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be a team interested in his services due to a past relationship between Carr and offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan.
| Footballguys view: Carr has carved out a nice career for himself as a backup behind Eli Manning. If he goes to Tampa he would push starter Josh Freeman in training camp but we don't expect him to win the starting job. The Bucs want competition at every position according to head coach Greg Schiano. |

Updating a previous report, New York Giants impending free-agent QB David Carr is expected to test free agency because he wants to find a team where he can compete for the starting job.
| Footballguys view: Carr has been a quality backup behind Eli Manning for years. Perhaps he's regained enough confidence to compete for a starting job. Many believed in his skill set when he came out of Fresno State and before he was constantly hammered behind the Texans poor O-Line years ago. |

49ers | Three QB sharing reps at workout Fri Jul 1, 03:58 PM
San Francisco 49ers QBs Alex Smith, David Carr and Colin Kaepernick are splitting reps equally during the player-organized workout Friday, July 1.
| Footballguys view: Smith is expected back with the team in 2011 even though right now he's a free agent. Carr has been told by the coaching staff that he'll compete for the starting job although he must be considered a longshot to win the job. Kaepernick is the future of this team but will likely learn on the bench for most of his rookie season. |

| Footballguys view: His competition will likely be Alex Smith, so don't completely count Carr out. He still has zero fantasy relevance and we would expect Carr to lose the job soon after winning it in camp. |

| Footballguys view: The team should bring back Alex Smith for another season so he can start while future franchise QB Colin Kaepernick gets used to the pro game. Carr is scheduled to make $2.3 million this year and is likely to be released. The 49ers could sign a veteran like Matt Moore or Charlie Frye to fill the third-string role. |

49ers | Mike Singletary not ready to name Week 6 starting QB Mon Oct 11, 10:49 AM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary said he was not ready to name QB Alex D. Smith his starter for Week 6, according to CBSSports.com. 'I've got to go back and look at the film,' Singletary said, adding that 'it's possible' he'll hand the job to backup QB David Carr.
| Footballguys view: David Carr may not be the answer here either, but the 49ers have to figure something out in a hurry. The league's only winless team may eventually turn to third-string quarterback Troy Smith. They could also bounce between Carr and Alex Smith, which could have disastrous results. |

49ers | Mike Singletary calls out Alex Smith, Michael Crabtree Mon Sep 13, 10:28 AM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary called out QB Alex D. Smith, WR Michael Crabtree and the offensive line in the locker room following the team's Week 1 game, reports Matt Maiocco, of CSNBayArea.com, according to a team source. Despite Smith's struggles, Singletary said he never once considered playing QB David Carr. 'Alex (Smith) is our quarterback,' Singletary said. 'At no time did I think about putting David Carr into the football game.'
| Footballguys view: Alex Smith was supposed to be more comfortable as the 49ers starting quarterback this year, but the Seahawks made him look bad all day. We'll see if the team has a quick hook for the veteran quarterback in favor of a guy like David Carr or Troy Smith if the struggling continues. |

| Footballguys view: Carr seems to have regained the confidence he lost after being battered for years in Houston. He'll be there in case Alex Smith struggles, but doesn't give the team a ton of upside as he's more of a caretaker backup quarterback. |

49ers | Carr's accuracy has improved over offseason Wed Jun 23, 06:31 PM
Matt Maiocco, from CSNBayArea.com, reports backup QB David Carr did not throw the ball very well in those first couple camps as he was learning the system, but his accuracy improved a lot over the final part of the offseason program. He completed nearly 65 percent of his passes during 11-on-11 drills. He got about 20 percent of the repetitions. The 49ers saw enough in the offseason to feel as if the right move was made to sign him as veteran insurance while trading backup Shaun Hill to the Lions for a seventh-round pick in 2011.
| Footballguys view: David Carr is no threat to Alex Smith's job, but the 49ers need him to be a reliable backup in case of injury to Smith. |

| Footballguys view: Carr is going to go through a period of adjustment with his new team, so this report isn't that surprising. Alex Smith may be breathing a sigh of relief, but Carr could still push him for the starting job in training camp. |

49ers | Carr could compete for starting job Sun Mar 21, 05:30 PM
Dan Arkush, from Pro Football Weekly, asks the question - will newly acquired QB David Carr really get a chance to compete with fellow former first-round draft pick Alex Smith for the 49ers' starting QB job? "Specifically, those words haven't been said, but they have said that competition is what they love around here," Carr told the local media. "It makes you feel better."
| Footballguys view: If Carr looks better in training camp and the preseason we could see a full blown QB controversy in San Francisco. Alex Smith has more experience in the offense and chemistry with his teammates, but has struggled with consistency his entire career. |

49ers | Carr addition doesn't excite fans Sun Mar 21, 05:21 PM
ProFootballWeekly.com reports Niners Nation has never really fully warmed up to QB Alex Smith, which led many to believe the addition of David Carr would generate a positive buzz. But the way we hear it, the consensus in the Bay Area is that Carr and Smith are pretty much cut from the same inconsistent cloth, and that few fans have gone out of their way to instantly anoint Carr as the new starter under center by any means.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers seem content to roll with Smith and Carr as their quarterbacks this season, and should pass on a QB with both of their first-round picks. Maybe dismayed 49ers fans should pin their hopes on backup Nate Davis, because he's likely their only option outside of Smith and Carr. |

| Footballguys view: David Carr is not the same quarterback he used to be -- and that's a good thing! Over the course of his career he's gone through highs and lows like most other players can't endure. If signed he would back up another former #1 overall pick in Alex Smith, and could take over in case Smith is injured or his game falls apart. |
