Carr Watch

[top dawg]

If Reich "really liked" Carr, then I suspect that Carr would've been here already. I doubt that he is our first choice, and it appears that we definitely aren't his first choice. 

As in "been here", I mean interviewed.

Even if that is true, and the that twitter thread seems to have major doubts, then its still a far cry from what the original post of

"Reich really likes Carr.  I don't believe it is because of his spiritual beliefs either.  IMO, Reich thinks he can get more out of Carr than anybody can."

So we just have one report that the colts called about Carr.  I would hardly apply that to Reich being in love with him. 

If you are the Head Coach of a team and three times you inquire about a QB.  There is something about him that he likes.  You don't have to be a genius to read between the lines.

You asked for an article and now you don't believe it.

LAME

I don't see anywhere where the author doubts it.  The fact remains the Colts wanted Carr several times. 

Get over it.   You're not the only one that follows what's going on. 

This is literally the 4rth sentence

 

While the story of the Colts offering two first-round picks for Carr is questionable

Yeah, that's a silly take.

Irsay was interfering in the coaching decisions (the benching of Ryan was his order). And per his own statements, a big reason he fired Reich was so he could install Jeff Saturday. Irsay genuinely believed that would be a genius move on his part.

Pretty much everyone who's analyzed the decision since has branded Irsay a moron while loads are praising the hire of Reich by Carolina.

Did Ryan's performance under Reich justify him remaining the starter? I don't remember what kind of numbers he was putting up. Were they decent?

Story is that Ryan wasn't Reich's choice, but benching him for Sam Ehlinger turned out to be a dumb idea.

I am sure there are many options for us.  There are things I don't know about what's going on but to imply that Reich wouldn't like Carr to play for him just doesn't make sense.   You don't go after a QB two or three times just because.   There is a reason he wanted him.

sure, maybe for normal franchises but its crystal clear Irsay was pulling the strings and said as much

This only implies that he isn't sure what the offer was.

They didnt go after him 2 or 3 times thats what we are trying to tell you.  Some rando internet blog isnt gospel

Did Reich ever get a QB he wanted when he was with the Colts?

hence he is doubting the reporting

 

Like top dawg said, if Reich really really liked Carr as you say then Carr would be a panther as we speak

I don't see in the article where it mentions Irsay anywhere.  BTW this article is not the one I posted in another thread a week or two ago.
