I actually think Carr would thrive here. Kirk is better but Carr is a little different plus when you add in his value might be like 5m less than even a restructured Kirk and add in your getting a return on Kirk and don't have to draft some unknown QB. I'm in... Where do I sign...
This narrative that Carr has always had a great O-Line is false. Just more generic media BS that gets fed to us by Brian Griese level announcers. Same as the narrative that Cousins had a better O-Line in Washington.
There were a few seasons where Carr had a really good Line. That wasn't always healthy and had garbage for depth. And some pretty 'meh' weapons. That Line has been declining for 2 years now.
And the Lines Cousins was behind in Washington were really good...and didn't come close to playing a full season together. Just constantly banged up.
It's ironic, really. Minnesota has a bad Line with actually decent depth that is always healthy (except for the new kid at LT). I think Udoh is a pretty decent backup Guard. He'll get a penalty or two, which all backups get. But he isn't going to get your QB killed. Hill is OK in spurts but appears to be regressing. Brandel looks OK. Mason is a quality backup C/G.
The problem is the Center and Right Guard. If Davis doesn't pan out that's another need along with half the Defense.
