Jimmy is a proven stud and when healthy is a flat out All-Pro caliber CB. I just can't live with putting him on IR, If he's ready to return then he should be able to come back. He's too important not to have out there. I can understand if he's not ready to go but if he is then he has to be on the field.
Agree
Yeah it’s possible, but Carr has really dropped off as of late. He had a pretty good game this week, but prior to the first half of the season had been dropping off.
He's been up and down to me. When he's on he's a great CB, but when he's off he kinda can be a liability. I think he's a solid CB and he stays healthy. I think it's a very tough call because you get $4M in cap savings and I don't know if that's worth letting go of Carr who again, is solid.
I guess it depends upon the cap situation as a whole, but I see no other reason they would cut him. Who knows when Smith returns, what his level of play would be or how long he would last. Carr’s veteran presence is valuable to the squad.
I understand that but the money has to come from somewhere. The best way to replace a player is always by relying on the next guy to step up for you. It's an unfortunate circumstance but its something we have been forced to do time from time. Keeping Carr might be a luxury given that what is at WR is a waste land. Maclin is going to get cut if he keeps this up and there's no guarantee Wallace returns. At this point the Ravens badly need talent and depth at the WR.
This is a very true statement. Although I believe he will be ready for training camp or preseason, he most likely won’t be “Jimmy” until he’s comfortable. It will be in his head fir a bit, before he gets comfortable.
Given his history of injuries and games missed I think the organization has already taken the approach that it's great when he's here, but we're not banking on Jimmy Smith at CB. It would seem that Carr is an integral part of that plan.
I agree the veteran presence is huge but I could see the Ravens keeping Webb over Carr because Webb comes cheaper than Carr. Definitely not as solid in coverage but it saves the Ravens cap and Webb brings that veteran presence, as well as versatility at CB and S.
Webb has definitely lost a step or two. Yes he’s a fan favorite and all, but Carr is the better boundary corner. I team set his contract up with team options in each year for a reason.
Didn’t the other guys that were busted come out themselves and say what they were using? Thinking about Boyle and Ngata here. You would think Jimmy would want to clear himself, or at least try to dispel the thought it was steroids or something similar.
