Regular brothers on the other hand, bad idea that only sounds good initially on paper.

I could see it only becoming a problem if one wanted to leave and the other decided to back up the brother and wanted to leave also. This is not the case here. Carson is still a half decent QB and probably could start on many teams. He know it and the team knows it. So does Jordan. Jordan on the other hand is limited in his decision making. If he backs his brother then he's likely fired and with out a job cause he's just not the type of QB teams are going to knock down walls to get to. Jordan also has to know he's most likely not going to start so he's better off just sitting back staying quiet and letting whatever chips there are fall where they may and practice with the WR's.
