David Carr Might Quotations

If we couldn't win them all, if we couldn't make the playoffs, I guess having the first pick, as bad as it is, might be good.

Seven weeks might sound like a short time. But I can get a lot done in that span.

Outside of this stadium here, we might be the only ones that want to win this game. It's a very different feeling when people tell you, 'Go ahead, good luck, make sure you don't win.' It's a tough situation.

When someone's in the press box ... they get a different view, so it's their opinion, ... With them calling plays, it's hard to have a conversation as far as what the guy's feeling. And sometimes if you have a phone conversation, it's over in 10 seconds, and you might still have some thoughts, but now I can just grab Joe.

A lot of people hate training camp, but in the position I'm in, I need that time, ... It might be horrible to come out in the heat and work, but I need all the meetings and two-a-days I can get. You want to get as much done in order to gain the respect of your teammates, the fans and the coaches before you're actually given the position. I want to do as much as I can in the preseason and on the practice field to say, 'OK, I can take this.' There's a fine line there, but hopefully we'll hit it.

In my sophomore year at Fresno, they just threw me in, ... I needed that. I think I swim rather than sink. Of course there's going to be some bumps. But it also might go the other way, and there would be more good than everyone thinks there's going to be. But you've got to be out there to learn. To take the live bullets. To take the shots.
