2010 NFL Free Agency Friday Open Thread: QB David Carr to visit 49ers

Fooch's Update 8:56am: Thanks for the mention in the comments about Carr.  Adam Schefter retweeted a link from NJ.com that indicated that Giants back-up QB David Carr is reportedly going to visit the 49ers.  Imagine having two former #1 overall picks that have failed to live up to expectations competing in camp?  Apparently the Cardinals also remain in play.
------

Last season, on the first day of free agency the 49ers were quite busy, even if they weren't monster transactions.  They re-signed Allen Rossum and Takeo Spikes, and brought Moran Norris back into the fold.  The Kurt Warner rumors started shortly thereafter and it was generally a fairly busy time.

This time around, things would seem to be relatively quiet for now.  So quiet that Matt Maiocco is spending the weekend in Las Vegas at the West Coast Conference basketball tournament.  I know not everybody looks at MM as the be-all, end-all, but as a beat writer, he still has his ear to the ground when it comes to 49ers news (even if you don't like his analysis).  I'd imagine the 49ers will get some work done, but I can't imagine a whole lot of us are expecting big moves these first few days, if at all.

This free agency period is an intriguing one given the labor issues.  Due to the changes in accrued seasons and restricted/unrestricted free agency, the market has been artificially shrunk.  Given this shrinkage of the market, it will be interesting to see how, or even if, that affects player contracts.  Do we see certain talent get considerably more than they deserve (maybe Antrel Rolle?)?  I'd wonder if teams might hold back on spending, but depending on if the Peppers-to-Chicago stuff goes down (I'm scheduling this post late Thursday night, so it might happen by the time this goes up), then that will be proof owners will still throw money around like drunken billionaire sailors.

We'll have folks in and out of this (and other) threads all day posting rumors, but if you want to search for rumors on your own, here are some Twitter feeds to check out (not even remotely a complete list):

Adam Schefter
Pro Football Talk
Michael Lombardi
Rotoworld Football
Gregg Rosenthal
Adam Caplan

At this point, the only 49ers-related news is that Tony Pashos is scheduled to visit Denver today.  Also, safety Matt Ware is scheduled to visit an NFC West team today, but no word on which team.  Finally, apparently Arnaz Battle is drawing interest from Seattle and Pittsburgh.

We'll have updates throughout the day, including new threads for some of the bigger signings.  Additionally, smileyman is keeping a tally of the moves that go down.  Consider us your prime source for free agency information!

Safe to say

the niners nation is saddened by our lack of participation in this years free agency. With that said, Willis and VD better have contract extensions by the start of training camp.

I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice.

Off topic ...

… but seeing your Twitter list, Fooch, reminded me to share Eric Stangel. Rich Eisen tweeted recently to say that Stangel was his favourite sports tweeter and I started following him then. He won’t break any free agency stories, but he will probably make you laugh more than anything else you read that day (with apologies to NinJames :))

Oh I know that he had no talent around him...

but even when he did, he wasn’t that great.

Yes, I understand we’d bring him in as a back-up, but as a mentor? I can’t find anything that he could pass along since he hasn’t really done much.

by TexansDC on Mar 5, 2010 10:36 AM PST up reply actions  

The only thing Carr does...

is put an end to any kind of QB switch. I will approve of that because Alex doesn’t need to be looking over his shoulder if he makes 1 mistake.

by TexansDC on Mar 5, 2010 10:38 AM PST up reply actions  

Carr

I think the move would be great. If Alex doesn’t pan out we have a better option the Hill and if Carr doesn’t work then put Davis in. I’m all for Hill and the leadership he showed but we all know the truth about his physical limitaions. Carr is a great insurance policy and I would be all for the 9ers signing him.

I've posted a bunch of confirmed deals in the new FA thread

I’ll have a summary thread up tonight with all the FA signings, dollar amount, and impact on the team. Detroit is making itself felt via FA, acquiring two defensive players and 1 offensive.

Almost a guarantee now that they’ll go offensive line in the draft. They’ve picked up Kyle Vanden Bosch and Corey Williams, both of them defensive line players. They won’t draft Gerald McCoy. Russel Okung is going to be their pick.

Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.

my theory...

the niners are moving forward this offseason with fine-tuning the more-wide-open passing offense that they used with smith during the 2nd half of the season. hill doesn’t have the arm to make the required throws in that kind of offense and davis is still raw, so the niners just need a warm body with a better-than-JV arm to not have to revamp the entire offense in the event of a smith injury.

First Off

Carr had absolutely no chance in Houston; did anyone see the sack totals when he was there? Secondly, we DON’T NEED A QB, CAN I MAKE THAT MORE CLEAR???? We have a starting QB, a prototypical back up QB and Nate Davis who is a perfect 3rd QB.

I do like going after Ware for depth at safety!!

is one of the few guys I thought the 49ers would give a look. He can step in at LG immediately and make the line better, giving Smith the time he needs.

BREAKING BREAKING

David Carr says :“its the 49ers to lose” meaning that if the 49ers offer him a contract he will sign it. link

The signing will spell an end to Shaun Hill’s tenure with the 49ers, he will be released shortly after Carr signs, if he does.

i really dont understand this. carr isnt the future and is he any more valuable than Hill as a backup? Hill has shown success as a starter and would be capable of spot duty, plus he knows the system. Is this a money issue?

by TexansDC on Mar 5, 2010 10:38 AM PST up reply actions  

he won over the starting job from Hill last year and has been publically named the starter. Bringing in a former 1st overall pick, and cutting the guy he beat out seems like the opposite of a “vote of confidence”.

by 49er4life on Mar 5, 2010 10:41 AM PST up reply actions  

Except it was always Hill vs. Smith

How many people would be clamoring for Hill if Smith started 0-2 and had a few picks? This is the FO saying, “Alex, you’re the man for 2010. No worries. You’re not getting yanked. Go out, prepare, and get it done.”

David Carr is not a starter. He’s a career back-up.

by TexansDC on Mar 5, 2010 10:44 AM PST up reply actions  

Yeah but

where was Hill picked and where was Carr picked? That could be a problem, not that I’m worried about it but there is a difference. Both he and Alex are first picks that had a rough start so there is a similarity there. And there could be backlash. But again I’m not worried about it, due to the reasons that Danny noted. At least one thing we can take as a positive from this is that it is an indicator (possibly) that the 9ers are willing to open it up a bit. No more two inches and a bunch of dirt that we complained about early in the year.

The drops were on both sides.

For instance, on simple screen passes, Crabtree was having to leap into the air to catch them. I remember Morgan on several crossing routes having to go up way too high. Smith has many problems with throwing too high and throwing too hard. I do not believe drops are a problem at all with any of our WRs, but definitely with Davis.

That just boggles my mind.

Do you think the defensive front seven would rather go against the ’Hawks current backs or Adrian Peterson? It just blows my mind, the overconfidence.

I think Justin Forsett is a great running back

it’s the Seahawks offensive line that’s the problem. AP would get hit behind the LOS often if he went to Seattle and our front 7 would have a field day stripping the ball from him

I'm not concerned with the specifics, it was a random example.

Also said fumbling notwithstanding. The point is that if top-talent at any position comes to our division, you don’t proceed as if they never did. Being confident is great, and when we get around to playing the Seahawks I’ll be very confident in Shawntae Spencer to but B-Marsh on his ass, but I’m not happy about him coming.

Marshall is easily much better than Boldin.

Marshall is a top ten receiver, Boldin is not. Marshall has better physical tools but seems to be bested in this gray area of ‘toughness.’ Which I really don’t see. Boldin is tougher than Calvin Johnson I’m sure, who would you rather have?

Roddy White is also definitely better. Boldin has the benefit of Larry Fitzgerald getting double coverage. Roddy also has more yardage this past season, more touchdowns, a higher long, etc. I think it’s pretty cut and dry, isn’t it?

So John Taylor would have put up regular 1000 yard seasons without Jerry Rice?
Randy Moss would have caught 20 TDs a couple years ago without Wes Welker?

I understand the point of ball distribution, but this statement is absolutely false. Having a good receiver on the other side makes your job a lot easier, and having a great receiver on the other side makes you look a whole f*ckton better. Assuming you play for a team that is willing to throw the ball, a WR’s numbers will almost always improve with a deeper group of receivers, and they will almost always decline when he is the only “decent” target on the team.

Definitely, I won't argue with that.

It’s arguable that immediately he’s an upgrade over Lewis in anything but speed and not being made of glass, but Lewis’ lack of speed has never stopped his production before.

As much as I like Hill and as much as we know he is a gamer and wins ,he just doesn’t have the arm to ever be a starter in the NFL,especially since we are not running the WCO.
This sounds like a fine deal to me if we get him cheap and see if he can back up smith and maybe even compete with Smith. I am the #1 Nate Davis fan BUT I love the fact that the team is letting him develop and will bring him into the starting lineup in a year or two,if he deserves it(as I believe he wil ).
I always thought of Carr as a more talented Alex Smith type,so who knows what might happen in the next year or two if we do sign Carr ?

…And perhaps the team is briging in Carr (if indeed they are),because Alex looked pretty bad last year against some pretty bad defenses down the stretch,and Scotty is thinking ahead to 2011 and having a fall back position in case Alex keeps playing poorly? Alex did nothing to solidify his spot as the starter,except that he has more potential than Hill and has more experience than Davis,other than that he is not even assured of being on the team in 2011.Good move by Scotty to at least investigate doing this or something similar !

…and Carr is perfect for the spread offense and so is Nate Davis,so it makes sense.Especially since Carr has looked fairly good in recent years,since he has not been behind the old Texans line,a much worse line than we had in 2009,much worse,believe it or not. (or so I have read ).

Seriously people get off the Davis bandwagon. The guy looked O.K. playing against 3rd and 4th string scrubs destined for the streets in meaningless preseason games. Whether you Davis groupies like it or not Smith will be the 2010 starter and do pretty well if the FO gets an O-Line in front of him. If Smith does poorly Davis isn’t the heir apparent.

A tender means that any deal that another team offers the player, the tendering team has a chance to match. If they choose not to match said offer, then the tendering team is awarded draft pick compensation as dictated by the level of the tender – with the maximum being a 1st and 3rd round selection.
