So now our horrible defense during the first four weeks is all Carr's fault too, not to mention opposing defensive players getting to Carr untouched. Yeah, OK. I'm done with this argument. Carr sucks! We'd be 7-0 with Super Duper Sage, the career backup!!!!
Of course, you're the only one who has ever said this. When you have to make up stuff to make the other side look bad, that says something about your argument.
Frankly, the best thing that could happen to this team (since they are going nowhere this year anyway) is for Carr to be out with an injury for 3 or 4 games. See Rosenfels, but without the situation where Carr is benched. Then you can easily bring Carr back and see how he does, and you have plenty of evidence to make a decision for 2007.
what would Carr injured on the sideline prove? He needs to prove it on the field. To a lot of fans they have already decided their done with Carr and want to move on. Others want more time for him. Delaying is the worst possible situation.
jgreen91, speak for yourself only, please. Saying "US" is such an incorrect way to show YOUR feelings. At least have a GOOD photochop, man.
I remembered this thread today after watching Schaub perform well against the Cowgirls last night. Some tidbits... Anyway, I just thought it was fun to point out the differences of opinion now that Schaub is now wearing #8 for the Texans. Lets not focus on my then-Vick loving Matt Schaub = AJ Feeley. lolz.
and thats why Ric should be taken with a grain of salt. Its funny how some people think they are always right yet last year said Schaub sucks. LOL. Usually bringing up posts from the past to make someone look bad is frowned on but you know,it does show which individuals dont know squat about prospects . Everyone (including Ric) thats said last year that Schaub is crap probably suck at fantasy football and shouldnt be listened to as far as draft prospects.
Schaub has done nothing yet. I really like him so far, but let's not act like he's been proven to be good.
I don't think it is fair to label him as a "Career backup" He's more like a young QB waiting in the wings who showed a lot of promise when given opportunities. I like the kid, I think the Texans will be a lot better off with him.
what a difference a qb makes its always been about leadership and schaub has the potential and capabilities that carr never had. the feel and the atmosphere says it all and yes, a career backup is an unfair statement on matt mcnair had to wait his turn before he got is all pro career going.
I'm too lazy to read what, if anything, I posted in this thread. But let me tell you... if I posted anything positive about David Carr, I was wrong. I admit it. Like I said in the game thread, that TD Schaub threw before the end of the half.... Carr could NEVER have pulled that off. I'm not saying there aren't 10 other QB's in the league right now that couldn't also make that throw, I'm just saying Carr isn't one of them. Watching Schaub (and even Sage) show so much composure in the pocket really makes me wonder if our O-line was as bad as I thought it was... Or, if perhaps... we just needed a new QB all along...
I'm pretty sure I posted a ton of pro-Carr posts in this thread somewhere. I was wrong, too. It's a little early to crown Schaub savior of the Texans, but the opinions last year are indeed entertaining given recent developments.
Ha, I knew this thread looked familiar. Was wrong on that one, though its taken these preseason games to be more convinced. Schaub had a small sample size. He could have V-Span'd his way onto the team with one good game against a quality opponent.
