The NFL is full of late blossoming QBs. 28 is not old. SR may not be the answer but Sage's age is not an issue.
Fair comment. And, oh by the way, Stevie and his max contract brought nuthin' back - except a somebody named McGrady.
I'm with you. I'm not the biggest Carr supporter but he just had a bad day. Kubiak saw this and used the opportunity to teach him a lesson. Besides, he threw one bad ball into coverage. His passing was fine for the most part, he just wasn't taking care of the ball in the pocket. I personally thought he was just trying to do too much today, just like he did the last couple of years which would get him in trouble. He knew it was a big game to dispel the Vince debate. And, how about giving the Titan's defense some credit. I mean, this is the same unit that pretty much shut down the Colts a few weeks ago. They had two weeks to prepare and plan against Carr. Carr is still the starting QB for the rest of the season. I think you all need to just realize and deal with it. After the season we can then re-evaluate the situation.
I'm no longer sure about that. A line was crossed today with Carr getting benched and it has to start effecting the team. I'm no longer sure that this team has confidence in Carr. Stats aside, which QB looked confident and sure today? It wasn't Carr. To me this was a statement game where he had the opportunity to step up and silence all the the VY whispers. Instead he chocked and fell flat on his ass. I hear tell that he apologized to the team for playing so badly. The problem I see is that he's become very good at apologizing and not good enough at delivering. It was incomprehensible for him to come out and play this so badly but once again, he came up short. I think that this game is a turning point for both Kubiak and Carr. I know that Kubiak got the head coaching position by convincing McNair that he could resurrect Carr but at some point, you have to make the decision to cut your losses and move on. This week should be an absolute nightmare for this organization as once again, they have given the football fans in Houston no reason to get behind this franchise. This is a franchise that for all intents looks dead in the water.
It was very dissapointing watching today's game. Ive liked Carr but it nearly impossible rooting for him. Today's game reminded me of the Cowgirls-Giants game when Romo threw a pick on his first passing attempt but it wasnt Sage's fault. We still had a chance but AJ's 2 dropped passes killed us. On the bright side...Sage looks good out there and Owen Daniels had a monster game.
I'm glad Carr is starting next week. I have the Giants defense in my FF league and I need lots of sacks and turnovers!!
I just don't feel that way, you know. Carr definitely deserved to get benched. Kubiak has already made it clear since training camp that he was not going to treat Carr with kid gloves, and we've already heard a lot about how he gets on him during practices. He came out today laying goose eggs, and he needed to be disciplined for it. But I just don't buy that he's done. He didn't bring his game today, and I'm sure today's experience of getting benched will provide more than enough motivation to make him get his act together next week. But it's hard for me to see this as more than just a major bump in the road. Also, I disagree with whoever said he "singlehandedly" cost us this game. The entire team stunk up the place, with the exception of Wali Lundy. Complete team effort to lose a game they clearly should have won. How about Ephraim Salaam with his happy feet costing us nearly 30 yards or so in false start penalties (three in a row at some point)? Or the massive secondary defensive coverage error that gave Vince Young an easy touchdown pass just a few microseconds before he was about to get his butt planted firmly in the ground by Mario? Or the bungled special teams coverage that allowed a punt return for a touchdown? (Don't forget the first missed extra point in Texans history). Let's not even talk about Edell Shepherd, who was also benched for fumbling a point return that luckily didn't cost the Texans because the half was over. Even Andre Johnson (despite his brilliant catches today) fumbled a very catchable ball and that resulted in an interception. They all sucked today. All of them. It was just bad, bad, bad football all around.
good riddance carr. football never was for you, kid. sorry all you blinded carr lovers. your joke of a qb has hopefully taken his last snap for my texans.
I haven't been able to watch one game this year, just highlights. So all of the early stats of Carr's high percentage passes and among the top qb ratings are fools gold? I think Carr is damaged goods at this point and only a scenery change *might* be able to resurrect him.
I think this is a great move by Kubiak Carr has been babied every year by Dom, Kubiak said he would bench him and he did It serves notice to Carr, knowing what sage did, he has to show up next week and i believe he will lets hope he has the will to win and prove everyone wrong, and if not, the backup qb showed some promise! as usual, go texans (although they are making quite difficult)
What he said, as I couldn't have said it better myself...However, this should have happened sooner...
my god...when will you people accept that carr is dogsh*t??? you think he hasnt been trying, and next week if he were to start he'd just put it in another gear and will himself to success? the guy is not worthy of wearing an nfl uniform. he's trash. accept it please.
If he is gonna bring it he better really bring it cause we are about to play one of the nastiest defenses in the nfl. The giants are gonna slaughter him.
but what happens if he does, and we do win..there will still be people on board hating on him and there will be people like me who will support him.. but if he doesnt, im not an idot, i will ask for sage too...like i stated before, he has to take notice
at what point does carr run out of chances for you people? seriously. you remind me of the morons in the astros thread that still think ausmus is a premier catcher.
