Some direct quotes from Dallas fans on Brandon Carr:
"He's been abused these past 2 games."
...
"He is about what I thought he was. He is a very good corner. Nothing more.
I never bought into the "shutdown corner" balony that some folks here on CZ tried to feed the rest of us.
There is nothing wrong with a "very good corner".
The problem is we overpaid for him and that contract will hurt the Cowboys in all sorts of ways going forward."
...
"He talks tough to the media. Other than that, he is just a solid corner that is overpayed. Afterall, he was the Chiefs second best CB."
...
Truth.
One of the worst contracts in the entire league.
...
couldn't agree more. (concerning him getting burned up the last two games)

Brandon Carr says he's through with interviews for a few weeks.
Wants to focus and get things right, make the game fun again.
...
Disappointment. He's a good CB, but that's a disappointment. He's being paid to be elite. He's not played up to that level.
...
I think the expectations of him being a shutdown corner (if there is such a thing) were too high
. Look at who was playing opposite him last year. If he was that good, they would have kept him.
If Claiborne eventually develops into a top tier corner, then Carr will be fine.
...
Right. Carr is a complimentary corner to the #1 guy.
Pretty much what Kansas City knew and we didn't when we signed him to that monstrosity of a contract.
...
Carr's may be an upgrade over what we had but he certainly isn't anything special. We had one poster here claiming he was the 3rd best corner in the league when he wasn't even the best corner on his team in KC.
...
Now we see why the chiefs didn't put up a fight to keep him. Very avg corner.
...
He's average. Tons of people were over rating him it was kind of ridiculous. I still think he is a pretty solid guy, definitely not worth the $$$ though.
