    How can anybody doubt that this guy is the real deal. Give him a number two reciever and a solid o-line and this guy will light it up. Corey Bradford should be cut on Monday.

    i'm a carr fan...but i'm not sure what you saw today that makes you so excited. he held the ball too long on at least 2 of the sacks. he made poor throws to open receivers. he threw into double coverage at the end of the game when his stud receiver was wide open on a crossing pattern that would have gotten us a first down.

    i like david carr. i don't think he's the problem. but i also don't think today bolsters his cause any.

    I'm not a Carr fan, but I will agree he looked pretty decent today. But not 8 million dollars decent.

    Anybody see the argument between Gary Walker and David Carr at the end of the game. Finally someone stands up Carr.

    If our offensive line hadn't gotten messed up toward the end (i.e. making mckinney the center and bringing in seth freaking wand), I'm convinced we wouldve won. The line was fairly solid today until the big shakeup and Jonathan Wells held his own in the running game. Carr is still making some mental errors now and then but he did a decent job overall.

    David Carr can be a very accurate passer when given time. However, his field vision and decision making may never be that great.

    sounds remarkably like another houston player that we waited and waited on to make better decisions in the passing game.

    How did that work out again? Oh yeah, lets just ask the Magic.

    I don't see any problem with his field vision. He seems to throw to all receivers and make the correct reads. His only real problem is being able to have that great "pocket presence" and know when to stay in, scramble, or just get rid of it.

    Steve Young sucked when he was with Tampa Bay because he had no talent surrounding him...

    The announcers on CBS said they were both yelling at Bradford. But they could have been wrong.

    Ummm.....I believe they said that Carr and Walker were tearing into Bradford. I could be wrong though.


    Carr looked good out there today, now that he has AJ back. He didn't look great, but was good and overall efficient.

    Too bad we don't ever try to go deep. I wish we would everynow and then in the game, rather than all those short passes.

    The Jags did it for the 2nd time today (other time wasn't successful) and caught our D napping after we just scored our TD. Was a 39 yard pass.

    Very good point .

    Carr looked alright today . He showed flashes of what he could be only if they had a somewhat descent O-Line in front of him . I still havent given up on the guy . He does take the sack a bit too often , he needs to learn how to throw the ball away . I would hate for him to leave and go somewhere like Green Bay or the Jets and flourish .

    Carr looked a little better today, but like its been said the offensive line is a joke. Now if we could just Andre Johnson and Jerome Mathis on the field together...

    Carr has shown glimpses of a star quarterback, but way too inconsistent.

    So I guess people were right a few years ago when he was christened as a "sleeper"....?

    I thought that was the term used to say "reach" in a nice way. :)

    Saturday would have been a better cut day for the Texans. Bradford Hands-of-Stone should at least give the Texans back his paycheck for Sunday.
