Twitter reacts to David Carr saying Eagles should bench QB Jalen Hurts for Marcus Mariota
David Carr played ten seasons for four teams, including the Texans and Giants.
The former No. 1 overall pick threw for 14,452 yards and 65 touchdowns while getting sacked an NFL-record 76 times in 16 games as a rookie.
Carr was sacked 267 times in his career, helping transition to a career in broadcasting with the NFL Network.
After the Eagles 42-19 loss to the 49ers on Sunday, Carr hopped on the overreaction train, leading the charge of misinformation while stating that Hurts is struggling to read defenses and, even more absurdly, suggesting that Nick Sirianni bench the All-Pro Hurts, for the backup, Marcus Mariota.

David Carr thinks the Eagles should sit Jalen Hurts, let him get healthy, and play Marcus Mariota.

People say really weird stuff on tv. “Some would argue he’s not even good at it?” https://t.co/Eg2In1cCaQ

I’m convinced he had to look up who the Eagles backup quarterback even was before he went on air today
