What if Oakland gets David Carr and then decides to draft CJ? Who would the Lions get with the 8th pick? Brady Quinn likely wouldn't be there. JaMarcus Russell wouldn't be there and neither would Joe Thomas or Adrian Peterson. It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out- and affects the Skins...

What has Carr done in the NFL.Nothing so why would Oakland want him as there #1.I also live about a hour away from Detroit and there are rumors that the Lions want one of the defensive players in the draft.Lets face it the Lions need help at almost every position.So they could fill one of there holes at 8.By the way there is the possibility that Peterson will be there.

There's not a lot that any QB can do from lying on his back 10- 20 times per game. You could be Peyton Manning, but if you don't have a good O Line to protect you, then you'll look crappy. I think Carr has great potential, he's just in a sticky situation. A change of scenery would probably do him well.

PS. Aaron Brooks hasn't really done anything in the NFL and Oakland wanted him last season. Just saying

I would much rather take a chance on a rookie QB.You can say Carr has had a hard time in Houston.Point still is he hasn't been what everyone thought he was going to be.I would put money on the Raiders getting Russel.

Rookie QBs are players that need time to develop, unless your name is Vince Young. If the kid has no one protect him, he can't pass the ball. I feel like Carr has just become a scape goat, for an overall bad situation. I don't think it matters who you put back there, Houston is gonna be awful until they shore up that leak.

I think the Raiders will get Russell too, I was just addressing the point you made about unproven/underachieving players

You hit the nail on the head. I've got one word for Schaub. Duuuuuuuk!!!!

Well the Texans went ahead and just flat out cut David Carr (and Domanick Williams, formerly Davis)
