Panthers Cut Carr, Agree to Terms With Muhammad

And so ends the David Carr experiment in Carolina. The article claims that the Panthers had high hopes for him, but, well, he's been cut so that should tell you what you probably already knew. The team also signed Muhsin Muhammad, who returns after a three-year stint in Chicago.

New drinking game for Panthers fans.

Every time the ball bounces off his hands when it is thrown directly at him on a curl route when the ball would smack him in the facemask if he had his hands down, take a sip.

You'll end up pretty drunk.

Have you been recently playing that game, perchance? Your sentence doesn't make sense.

#1 I'll miss that game as a Bears fan.

Of course our QBs just stopped looking at Moose, so the game I played was take a drink every time you wonder if we actually have two receivers on the field, or if the Refs are making us play 10 on 11.

The good news isn't signing moose... the good news is cutting David Carr. Man he sucks. As crappy as he is, I still think he is overrated in the average fans eyes. The guy is dumb as rocks.

But on the bright side, all QB's can't win super bowls like ELI Manning.

#1 Yeah, but now we can't play the "Have a Drink When David Carr is Sacked" game...

In a dream scenario, the Steelers will pick him up to back up Big Ben, who then gets injured early in the year.

Panthers make huge mistake. David will be hall of fame qb. Just needs the time to develop. Muhsin will be crying into his signing bonus when he finds out David will not be throwing him 99yd bombs every game.

re 8 davidcarrjoe:
Idea 4; execution 2.
You need to work on your poor grammar and spelling and the ability to say the obvious and impossible in the same sentence.
NEXT!

Ravens or Bengals fan? Whahahahaha.

What the hell happened to the actually competent 2004 edition of Carr, who ranked 18th in DPAR and according to KC Joyner threw the best deep ball in the league? Did the nightmare of the 2005 Texans offense break him permanently? I find it hard to imagine a much worse place to play quarterback than on the Panthers with Steve Smith injured, but even so, by God did he suck.

"Agree to Terms With Muhammad"

So much for not negotiating with terrorists...

At this point, do you think there is anybody standing in line to ride the David Carr Experience?

#9 - I'm a fan of Seattle & drinking. Not necessarily in that order.

#12 - 49ers maybe? I wouldn't take him on over a late round prospect, but maybe he can teach Alex Smith that beaing a no.1 overall bust isn't so bad.
