Assuming that we draft Bush, and picking up Eric Moulds, we now have Carr, Davis, Johnson, Bush, and Moulds. Is there any chance that we come out of no where this year like the Rams did in 99?
So before The Rams went on to their "Greatest Show On Turf" for several years, was Kurt Warner considered a better QB than David Carr is now?

The offensive line and pash rush still are sorely lacking. So no, I don't see how this team is going to be much better. Unless you call 6 - 10 competitive, because that's the upside.
Really, the scedule isn't that bad. We have some winnable games like Philadelphia, Tennessee (twice), NY Jets, Cleveland, Miami, Dallas, Buffalo. I say we can win between 6 and 8 games. Let's have a looksie: Philadelphia W @Indianapolis L Washington L Miami W @Dallas W!!!! Jacksonville W @Tennessee W @NY Giants L @Jacksonville L Buffalo L @NY Jets W @Oakland L Tennessee W @New England L Indianapolis L Cleveland W This year is a rebuilding year, but in 2007.....look out!
I say 8-8, or 9-7. A new coaching staff with the exact same players that we had last year would have given us improvement over last year. But the front office has gotten us some good players in here. I am looking forward to seeing them perform.
I'm looking forward to everything, and I'm hoping for 7 wins. Anything above that (and I do think it's possible up to a wild-card berth) is awesome
Sorry to disagree, but I see a 5-11 record: Philadelphia L @Indianapolis L Washington L Miami L @Dallas L Jacksonville L @Tennessee W @NY Giants L @Jacksonville L Buffalo W @NY Jets W @Oakland L Tennessee W @New England L Indianapolis L Cleveland W
With Carr as the QB then I think we are somewhere between 3-13 and 6-10. Philadelphia L @Indianapolis L Washington L/W 50/50 Miami L @Dallas L Jacksonville W @Tennessee W @NY Giants L @Jacksonville L Buffalo L @NY Jets W @Oakland L/W 50/50 Tennessee L/W 50/50 @New England L Indianapolis L Cleveland L
There's a possibility. With that many weapons the Rams were able to put in just about any QB on their roster and he would be successful.
The Rams had a good offensive line and an over-achieving defense in 1999. The defense fell apart the next year which prompted the hiring of Lovie Smith. The retooled defense helped get them back to the Super Bowl in 2001, but by then the offensive line (right tackle) had started to decline and of course the nut job Martz was running the show by then. <sarcasm> I always loved Martz's logic. Let's just throw deep every play even though we have Marshall Faulk on our team. </sarcasm>. Just average protection from the offensive line will make Carr look like he is having a career year in 2006.
I've always said i wanted a team around Carr so everyone could honestly evaulate him properly. Not with a crappy team around him. That being said it will be a good year this year...in the sense that we can really see what we are capable of with Carr at the helm with talent around him. That's the biggest thing im looking forward to..see if he can get comfortable after being shell shocked with our team the past few years.... Im very excited for the Texans this year...we have definitly given our fans something to be ready for.
That, plus Carr has to get used to having average protection from the offensive line instead of the HORRIBLE protection he's had his entire NFL career. I think Kubiak can and will help him with that. Carr looked like Brett Farve when he was winging it down the field at Fresno State. Hopefully Kubiak can find that guy again. I think eventually he can.
