David Carr Really Likes the Direction the NY Giants Are Going In

New York Giants

David Carr used to be one of the hot quarterback prospects in the NFL. And while his career was not everything that some dreamed it might be, he nevertheless enjoyed some success, and knows the game of American football quite well.

One thing that he managed to do was win a Super Bowl ring with the New York Giants. Granted, it was as a backup quarterback to Eli Manning. Still, he was part of a team that won it all, and he deserves some credit for that nevertheless. 

After Giants co-owner John Mara jokingly compared head coach Brian Daboll to a rock star (Bono of U2), Carr commented, and spoke of how impressed he has been with the difference that Daboll has seemed to make with this storied franchise: 

“I love what’s happening in New York because for John Mara to feel that comfortable to make that type of joke. . . knowing the New York media like I do, he must feel really good about his head coach,” Carr said. “He must feel really good about his quarterback (Daniel Jones) — and he should — and the direction that they’re going.”

Carr went on, praising the direction that the Giants have been going since last season:

“When I watched the Giants play last year. . . I remember being in London. We were watching that team develop into a good football team. And they were doing it without a real threat down the middle, without a real matchup guy outside. All the attention was on Saquon Barkley. They were loaded up to stop the run and Daniel had developed as a quarterback in this system  

“But now you have a guy out there that can essentially create offense for you just by (lining up), just by putting him out at wide receiver, which he can play. Putting him in-line and block for Saquon, which he can easily do.”  In closing, Carr reiterated his optimism about Big Blue’s future.  

“I love where this team is going. I love the direction they are going. I love the physicality,” Carr said. “Like I knew it was going to be good X’s and O’s wise, but the toughness that he brought to this group has been fantastic. So, the sky’s the limit for these guys.”
