Carr Signs to the Panthers

David Carr is content to sign on as a back-up quarterback to Jake Delhomme and the Carolina Panthers.  All Carr wants to do now is “take a deep breath and be around a good environment and just start enjoying the game again.”  He is leaving the decision for him to play completely up to his new team, meanwhile showing his support for his starter by stating he would be Delhomme’s ‘biggest fan’. 

“I’ve been on an expansion team and it’s not fun.  I’ve been on teams that aren’t winning and it wasn’t exciting.  Football is a hard enough game when you go out there and you’re battling everything,” Carr had expressed about his recent unhappiness and continued to express his job had gotten harder with each lose his previous team suffered, ”I wanted to be on a team that was fun and exciting and whether I had a chance to play right away, it didn’t matter to me.” 

Carr might have found exactly what he was looking for when signing the $6.2 million dollar deal with the Panthers’.  ”If I learned anything in the last five years, that’s where football games are won and lost,” Carr shared about his personal growth making it clear that he had a desire to play alongside an established offensive line that could relieve some of the pressures he had experienced in the past.  The sour taste in Carr’s mouth is sure to be washed clean come 2007’s NFL season.  Watch him play by getting tickets to Panthers’ games through StubHub.com.
