congratulations on having the flat out best qb, who will be sitting on his couch in january...
You're bringing outside arguments in to the discussion.
The question is Carr vs. Gabbert as in pure player skill.
Carr sitting in the couch in January doesn't at all have any impact on whether or not he's a better player than Blaine Gabbert, so why even bring that in to the mix?
all of the seasons John Elway, Dan Marino etc. missed the playoffs, does that all of a sudden make them terrible players? You can go down the list of QB's in the HOF with plenty of January's sitting on the couch.
lol I have no idea the point you're trying to make.
