College career
Carr started as the starting quarterback at Fresno State in the 2000 and 2001 seasons after redshirting in 1999. The Bulldogs went 7-5 and 11-3 when he was quarterback. The team defeated Colorado, Oregon State, and Wisconsin in their senior seasons, all members of BCS conferences. It was rumour that the Bulldogs would qualify for a BCS bid, which was later unheard of for a non-automatic qualifying conference team. They climbed to number 8 in the polls, and Carr was on the front page of Sports Illustrated. Carr completed 565 of 941 passes for 7,849 yards and threw 65 touchdowns versus 22 interceptions during his collegiate career. He won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award in his senior year and was a finalist for the 2001 Heisman Trophy, finishing fifth.

Professional career
The Houston Texans, a new expansion team, selected Carr in the first overall pick of the 2002 NFL Draft. His work as a consultant began on a positive note. On September 8, 2002, the Texans hosted their first regular season game, defeating the Dallas Cowboys 19–10 at Reliant Stadium in Houston. Houston was only the second expansion team to win its first game. During that season, Carr was fired 76 times, a record in the league. He also set a new NFL record for fumble recoveries in a single season, recovering 12 of his own. Both records stand as of 2022. He finished his rookie year of 2002 with 2,592 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. He also ran for 282 yards and three touchdowns. In their first franchise year, the Texans went 4-12. Carr played 12 games (11 starts) in 2003, with 2,103 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. He passed for 151 yards with two rushing touchdowns and was suspended only 15 times. In 2003, the Texans reached a record of 5-11.
Carr played in all 16 games in 2004 before being suspended a league-leading 49 times. He finished with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for 3,531 yards. In 2004, the Texans went 7-9.
The 2005 season got off to a rocky start as the Texans were 1-9 in their first ten games and then fell to a 2–14 record to end the season. Carr was still throwing for 2,488 yards despite being banned a league-leading 68 times due to injuries and an ineffective offensive line that limited both the running and passing games. Despite the layoff, the Texans exercised an option in Carr's three-year deal, which kept him on track for three years.
The Texans won at 6–10 on the 2006 season. Carr's average completion percentage was 69% (a career high) and tied for the first time in franchise history of 22 consecutive pass completions (against the Buffalo Bills). However, new Texans general manager Rick Smith decided not to go in a different direction at quarterback. Hence, the Texans acquired Matt Schaub from the Atlanta Falcons and decided to release Carr for the first time in his career. During his time in Houston, he was fired a total of 249 times.
Carr signed a two-year, $6.2 million contract with the Carolina Panthers on April 6, 2007. Carr was named starter after Jake Delhomme was injured. He appeared in six games (started four games) and had three touchdowns and five interceptions, with a 53.7 completion rate and a passer rating of 58.3. Carr suffered a back injury in his fifth game of the season (a victory over the New Orleans Saints) following Will Smith's dismissal, and he saw little action during the remainder of the 2007 season, being replaced by Vinny Testaverde and Matt Moore. He was first published on February 27, 2008.
Carr reunited with former Houston offensive coordinator Chris Palmer on March 12, 2008, after reuniting with former Houston offensive coordinator Chris Palmer. Jared Lorenzen, the Giants' former backup quarterback, was suspended shortly. Carr backed Eli Manning for two seasons. Carr was re-signed to a one-year, $2 million deal in the 2009 offseason. Carr saw action in seven games and gave three touchdown passes in his first two years with the Giants.
Carr came to terms with the San Francisco 49ers on March 7, 2010; he served as a back-up to Alex Smith. Carr was inserted into the 49ers' Week 7 game against his old team, the Carolina Panthers, after Smith sustained a shoulder injury. Carr struggled for 67 yards on 5 of 13 passes and missing a crucial interception in the 4th quarter. On July 28, 2011, the 49ers announced him.
On July 31, 2011, Carr signed with the New York Giants as the backup quarterback to starter Eli Manning. Carr received his second Super Bowl ring in the 2011 season after the Giants defeated the New England Patriots 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI. During the 2011 regular season, he did not play a single snap. Carr re-signed with the Giants on March 14, 2012, to a new one-year deal. He was waived by the Giants on August 31, 2013.
