Yes, rocketfat, we like watching him because he's good looking. If you think fans are unknoweldgeable, then what do you think about Kubiak?
Though I'm not on the "Get rid of Carr!!" bandwagon just yet, I don't understand this logic. You could say that about anyone on the roster of our last few craptacular seasons. It's never all on just one guy in football. But if it isn't working...you have to start making changes. And QB is just as important a place as any (if not more). I don't think it is anywhere near black and white that Carr's play makes him 'untouchable'. Very few players on this team fall under that label. As such, it seems perfectly reasonable to me that QB be one of vital positions to look at for a possible change.
I originally felt it was a bad move to pull Carr from the game...but after thinking about, I think it was the best thing that could have happened to him. Carr needed that little dose of reality; he needed to know that if he's gonna play bad (despite what the rest of the team is doing cause it wasn't all his fault yesterday) he'll be pulled. I'm glad it made him mad, because maybe that'll make him focus more. I'm also glad that Kubiak nixed any notion of Sage possibly starting next week. Carr deserves to go back out there and prove he can overcome this. He had been playing pretty well up until last week.
what if he has a bad game next weekend? On the road against the Giants isn't the easiest place to get your bearings back. How long do we make excuses for him? Three more years?
C'mon Swoly, it's been MORE than one game. The Dallas game and the Titan game he threw combined 3 picks, zero TDs, 30 of 48 for 230 total yds. The completion percentage means nothing if you are not progressing your team. The dink and dunk is NOT getting it done! Sage when in on Sunday actually took shots down the field. Carr is playing 'scared' there is no other way to put it. Sorry man, I call them the way that I see them. The Eagles and the Skins, he only has good numbers because he rarely took advantage of any mismatches down the field. The opposing defensive coordinators know this and are cover 2, zone blitzing us to death. Until he or someone else show an ability to refute this otherwise. The Colts game, basically numbers were cosmetic and therapeutic. They basically mean nothing if you do not progress in your leadership abilities. I feel bad for Carr. He has gotten a raw deal since basically day one but this is a Man's league and you have to produce. That's what they're paying him for. After Sunday, I dont think Carr can get it done. I dont see any leadership from him and I dont see him inspiring a flea much less his teammates. A QB needs to have the ability to overcome bad plays, decisions, penalties, turnovers and be a warrior. At this moment, Carr is NOT or does NOT demonstrate that ability. Sorry, that's the bottom line, dude. It is what it is. We're screwed with an overrated QB.
Yes, exactly. Carr does not have the "IT" factor that the great leaders of yesterday have. Elway, Namath, Marino, Montana, Young, etc. ... Carr can work well within a manageable game but when things start destructing, he has no answer. Sorry, that comeback against J-Ville in 2003 was an aberration. Since then, the Vikes in 2004 against a bad defense but basically time and again he shows no ability to rally the troops and inspire comebacks.
SO WHY PAID $8 mil for him ??? The point is CARR is NEVER WORTH $8 mil or even $5mil just cause he was a #1 pick ..... WE CAN USE SOMEONE ELSE INSTEAD and use the $$$ on other players. DAVID CARR = MOST OVER PAID PLAYER IN NFL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you spent more time watching the game and less time staring at Carr's ass then you might understand what we are talking about.
Guys, everyone knows I am no Carr fan. BUT. The guy is completing over 70% of his passes, he had one really bad half.....let's see how he responds. I do think that Kubiak is happy he had to bench him.....sometimes players need a kick in the A$$.... Carr has never had that....let's see what kind of leader he is, or can become. The Texans are going nowhere this year, Kubiak knows it, so he is trying to find out who his keepers are....and who is dead wood. DD
Do you guys know Y Sage looks so goood out there vs Tenn? Same reason DAVID CARR has a high QB RATING! .... when you're DOWN by 14+pts every game and you start throwing and stats padding at the end like Carr did in the INDY game..... is pointless. If Sage was in there and it was a close game .... he's stats wont have look so good either. David Carr stats are OVER RATED!
