re: Nobody seems to take Carr seriously

Austin carr was on ne practice squad before we signed him right?

Yeah he was on their PS but we kept him on our active roster all year after we stole him from the Pats

Yeah i remember our part, couldn't remember if he was on ne's PA or not.

He also took the first snap in the game vs Minnesota for the playoffs. So I'd say even though it doesn't mean much... Csp seems to like him a lot. Letting snead walk also seems that way.

The only thing some idiot Saints fans want more than a LSU player is a small, white WR.

Way to cherry-pick your examples. Funny you didn't mention Lance Moore, Willie Snead and Brandon Coleman.

But thanks for making something about race that clearly wasn't about race.

All those guys are 6’ + fwiw, including Carr

And patriots had a gluttony of WR. I reckon Carr would possibly be inthe current mix as Amendola replacement

People are sleeping on Carr as a possible slot option. Elite shuttle and 3 cone, was best WR in the B1G and carved up a tOSU defensive backfield that included marshon, Malik hooker, and Conley. Top graded WR by PFF coming out of college and also led Pats in receiving in preseason

SP doesn’t throw superlatives about guys often, especially practice squad guys

"We felt he was pretty advanced in his route running for a young player," Payton said. "I thought he has real good balance, (and) strong hands in traffic. We knew the player coming out of Northwestern

"He put together a real good preseason, so he was just somebody that we had kind of kept our eye on," Payton said. "You're kind of down at the end there and all of a sudden these roster moves are made and you're evaluating the tape and his was strong. I think there are a number of things he can do to help us."

And Carr provides the versatility to split wide outide or play inside at the slot receiver position.

"You see him do both," Payton said. "You see him block. He's someone I think has good hips.

"I think he's someone that can of course play in your two-receiver sets (where) you are going to be outside. We don't necessarily have, 'Oh, he's a slot or he's an outside receiver.' We don't look at it that way."

Don’t sleep on drew and SP and their ability to turn a guy into THE guy

Austin Carr is the Real Deal and you will see in 2018..
Just watch the kids highlights...
