Mark Carrier Says We Would Have Taken Barron Ahead Of Kuechly

[Proudiddy]

I doubt he gets fired, but I DO think Marty will be out getting his PR on with "I haven't heard those comments, but as I've said, Luke was the guy we targeted and we're lucky to have him."

Really dumb of Mark to say this regardless, doesn't do any good for anyone. Especially considering Barron was drafted by a rival.

Carrier drinking before noon I see. What a dipshit.

[cookinbrak]

If this is true, then I suspect we will pick up a starting quality safety when one becomes available and drop Martin like a bad habit

You know who'd make a good safety? Thomas Davis.

[Panths]

Well he'll be going the way of Gantt any day now.

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

Not only are we degrading Martin, we also make Luke feel like poo too.

2 birds with one stone baby!

[CPF4LIFE]

Holy crap!! I sure did say somethin similar to this before the draft lol. Barron is a certified playmaker which is what we need more then anything on our defense. So i could understand this.

Thank you Tampa

If this is true.................Carrier should be fired today.

We picked ninth - to pretend there were no players we would have snatched up besides Luke Keulchy is redonkulous. But hey, it's a captain obvious thing, no need to say it out loud right?

But it looks like Carolina was counting on Tampa to draft Claiborne until they fuged it up.

I think all he revealed is how our board was laid out. Obviously our scouts had a higher rating on Barron than Kuechly. I don't think it's insane we had higher rated players, but Carrier was wrong to say this. Hurney and Richardson run a tight ship and crap like this doesn't fly.

[Doyle]

Why would you say that? Seems weird to say that now.

Yeah not very good to let your #1 pick think he was our 2nd choice.

[XClown1986]

I think Kuechly has a level head and can think about it logically. I mean he was drafted at #9. Obviously there were players rated ahead of him or he would have gone #1, so he was bound to be SOMEONE'S 2nd choice. Maybe even 3rd.
