Thinking he's referring to the one that has his team at 4-2 in the NFC North or the one that has his team at 3-3 in the AFC West. Will look into it further but I think those two also have little trouble with alarm clocks or airplane flight schedules.
Carr might have made a little bit of a difference but probably not much with how the defense is doing and the other guy has mostly been a game manager who hands the ball off more than anything else. Odds are neither make a serious difference if the Texans had picked them. I would have picked Carr if it was my choice, but it's not.
You've constantly ragged on the 2014 draft class of QBs when it was mentioned that OB should have taken one of those guys. So far, Teddy and Carr have shown how much of a mistake we have made.
I did, it was a bad QB class....I also said from the beginning that the Texans should pick Carr in the 2nd if he's still there. Also, Teddy Bridgewater hasn't been a very good QB thus far, in fact the only reason his name is still coming up is because he happened to have had a good game this week. He looked pretty bad the rest of the season.
He came into today with 3 TD's and 4 interceptions in 5 games, let's not pretend that's any good simply because Texans fans are in the mood to be whiny.
He had good games his rookie year. It's nothing new. He's handled the QB duties very well for them and Im sure every Vikings fan has been happy with that pick, even before today's game. The Texans messed up, it's really that simple…and that's on OB.
He's had a few good games in 2 years, mostly he's been "meh" at best.....but hey, now he has a positive TD to interception ratio again!!!
We'd just have a younger bad QB that we need to move on from. Also given his bad habit of holding on to the ball too long, he'd probably already be injured if he was behind the Texans O line.
He's still getting his feet wet. Manning had plenty of bad moments early in his career. Same with Rodgers, Brees, Rivers, etc. Is he good enough to be one of these guys? We don't know yet. He's getting better, he's had some really rough moments, but he's not even 25 games into his career yet. I'd rather have a QB with some kind of positive upside then the dumpster fire we have at the position now. I do agree that our O-line is pretty bad right now, but Hoyer holds the ball just as long(a coaching issue imo) and if we had a QB with actual upside we could focus on at least attempting to build around him and see what we have.
It's really unfair to him to compare him to those kinds of QB's, there's no chance he'll ever come anywhere near that level of play. Anyway, the Vince Young nonsense lasted almost a decade, the Teddy nonsense will probably last just as long. The entire QB class was pretty awful, Carr looks to have some potential to be a better than average QB but the rest of the class is replacement level or worse.
