On a more serious note, my anger about the Cassel era ended about the time he signed his $60M contract. I figured 'well, we've hitched our wagon, . . . might as well just enjoy the hijinks.' I had no expectations, no aspirations, no hopes, no anger, nothing in terms of emotional investment, for the duration of his tenure. [Reply]

Remember, Carr was being discussed as an MVP candidate just a few years ago. Aaron Rogers wasn't even in the convo that year.
Nope. Carr is great. Keep Carr. Never let Carr go.
Instead, show him you value him by increasing his salary and he'll blossom like a dahlia in response.

Brutally efficient, . . . even taking care to stress the importance of additional weapons, instead of shoring up his O-line, because everyone knows that Carr's problems are weapons-based, not confidence-based.
