Tebow Who? Giants Re-Sign David Carr One day after the Jets made Tim Tebow the most famous backup quarterback in the N.F.L., the Giants also addressed their reserve quarterback situation - albeit with significantly less fanfare. There were no day-long vigils or late-night conference calls, and sales of David Carr jerseys are not expected to skyrocket in the coming week. Still, the Giants" re-signing of Carr, who has been Eli Manning's backup in three of the past four seasons, was significant; he is the Giants" safety net. "I feel really comfortable here," Carr said in the Giants" news release announcing the signing. I know that if given the opportunity and put in the position to play on this team, I would do well. Carr, a former No. 1 draft pick by the Houston Texans, did not play in any of the Giants" regular-season or playoff games last season, but teammates and coaches do not hesitate to praise his value. Carr works primarily with the scout team during game weeks, and is adept at simulating the opponent's offense, regardless of what style the opposing quarterback employs. Carr is also an integral part of the quarterbacks" positional meetings. Instead of looking elsewhere for a situation that might have offered more playing time, Carr opted to remain with the Giants in part because he did not want to uproot his family and in part because he is familiar with his teammates and the Giants" offensive system. In three seasons with the team (he spent the 2010 season with San Francisco), he has played in just nine total games, completing 33 of 42 passes for 340 yards and 3 touchdowns, with no interceptions. In other words, Carr knows he will play only in an emergency or other unusual situation. But while his Jets" counterpart, Tebow, will surely occupy the spotlight right along with starter Mark Sanchez, Carr is content with his situation. "You play ball in high school, you play ball in college and there's really not a better locker room that I've been in, and that's including those times," Carr said of his Giants" teammates. It's a great environment.
