I included the following in my post -- "last season he drew four pass interference calls last year and had three holding penalties." Those are REAL numbers as were the statistical comparison.If you want to say I intuitively think he sucks -- fine that is your right -- but don't you agree that it is pretty weak to just make up stuff like "Yeah Carrol also fouls on half the plays a ball is thrown near him."If you've got anything near real data to back up such absurd claims please produce them, if not calm down and take a breath before jumping in if you want to be taken seriously.Carroll still has growing and learning to adjust to a very difficult position to play -- I certainly said as much in my post and so did Christl in his blog.When your team plays press coverage, as the Packers do, you would expect his burnt numbers to go up -- yet they don't. The same can be said for the Packers lack of a credible pass rush which lets QBs sit in the pocket and take their time chosing a target. Add to that it was a new defense with a Rookie Safety, yet his numbers were comparitively very good.Rants of his being a bust are not backed up by facts, but then again rants rarely are.</blockquote>
