The Giants brought back David Carr for another year. When this broke this week I didn't think it was worth mentioning. Then I realized that this is absolutely worth mentioning for a number of reasons. 1) There is no scheduled press conference. 2) A helicopter did not follow him from the airport. 3) Underwear companies did not begin assembly of billboards at the entrance to one of the most densely trafficked tunnels on earth. 4) Nobody speculated he would take over Eli Manning's job. 5) He will not be responsible for magically healing a fractured lockeroom and nobody will ever post pictures while 'CARRING'. He will, however, do his job as a solid backup. A job that he's done well for years now with the Giants. I'm happy about this one. David Carr has plenty of career starts and a has a great work ethic. He got the short end of the stick in Houston, getting sacked all over the field with absolutely no protection. He's happy in his role, happy to be a Giant, and is more than capable of managing a game and even moving the ball down the field should he be called on. Welcome back David, and thanks for not requiring a media circus to announce your re-signing. Glad to have you around.
