Bill Maas: Cassel = Grbac

Do you not see the problem with this post on Carr.

Carr held the ball too long, and was shell shocked behind the terrible O-Line?

Carr made that O-Line look terrible, when in fact they actually, at the very least, adequate.

The year Carr was replaced by Shaub, that O-Line, whose only "upgrade" was Jordan Balck gave up almost a third of the number of sacks they had with Carr at QB the previous year.
