exactly, DD. kubiak is essentially having to cram 4 years into a single season. this is how carr SHOULD HAVE been treated from the start, but never was.
Kubiak said yesterday that David Carr is the future of this team. That doesn't make me feel all excited about the team and the direction we are going. For the next three yrs. we can have all kind of debates and opinions on David Carr. But let's just focus on our record for the next three yrs. and the high draft picks we will have.
carr should get one more chance cause he was doing pretty well through the early part of the season. if the other teams have figured out how to fluster him in the pocket and he plays as bad as he did against the titans then he needs to get the hook early because sage really did look pretty good back there.
You're right. And I know I will get over it. Just a win next week will get the cheer back in me. I just never liked Carr as a QB and I am convinced the Carr experiment is a mistake. Let's wait and see. Hope I'm wrong, but everything I've seen on the field tells me he will not become a winner for this team. Do you know how the team could have won two games in a row and a tough road game last Sun? Here's how, if a good QB was leading the team that would have happened. David Carr admitted what i just said and apologized so I don't think I am wrong on that. The difference is that Kubiak is going to redeem Carr and I hope he does, cause it doesn't look like he is going to sit him. I wouldn't want to be on the team as a player. You work too hard and give all you have and you want to win soooo bad and you have this nagging doubt that the QB that gives you the best chance to get some W's is over sitting on the bench with a clipboard. Pray for Kubiak. It is all on him at this point.
As high a rating as Carr had previously, the team still wasn't scoring points. Some of that was definitely lack of a running game...but I think it is just as much of Kubiak drilling into Carr that he can't turn the ball over. The problem is Carr can't put it all together to be good. He can either run little rinky-dink plays that move the team and pick up some yardage, without committing too many turnovers, but failing to score, or try and go for the bigger plays on those second and third reads, and fail. And then ever once in a while hit a big play (a long AJ touchdown or something similiar) All I've seen from Carr this year up until Tennessee was exactly the same as prior years, except it looked as if the offense had been simplified specifically so he wouldn't be put in situations to (1) get sacked as much, (2) throw interceptions, or (3) have to throw it away or just make a bad throw. He still, even in good games, just gets rattled too easily and quickly when dropping back in the pocket. He stills seems relatively inept at make throws to the middle of the field (short of 1-5 yards drop offs). And he still seems to be unable to step-up when the team needs him most. The only reason to keep playing him at all, imo, is to keep his trade value up somewhat. If you have an excellent, well-rounded team, you don't need a superstar quarterback to win. But the Texans don't have that team. Plus, Superbowl champions with middle of the road quarterbacks tend to always be the teams that completely suck again 1 or 2 years down the road. Carr will never be more than just average. Surely Kubiak and Co. know this? This will never happen, but I'd actually LOVE to see a dual quarterback system for the next few games. Will the Texans make the playoffs this year? No! Why not actually see if your guy truly is the QB of the future then. Carr can play 1st half, Sage 2nd half, or 1st/3rd quarter, 2nd/4th quarter, then mix it up the next week. Couple of weeks of that and you'd have as direct and comparable an evaluation analysis as possible.
That would be interesting. The feeling I have for Carr is that he is OK when the going is good, but any sign of trouble and he's going to fold.
I just see little downside to doing the dual-quarterback thing. The only downside being you may be more likely to lost that particular game then you were otherwise...although when there is a 70%+ chance you'll lose every game anyway, not much of a risk there. In either case, I think the only way that happens is if Carr sucks again in the first half next week.
reading over these threads i think rocketman95 is just happy to be able to argue with people about something.
Here is a poll on click2houston. It looks like the entire city is done with this guy, its not only the "whiny" clutchfans bbs posters. http://cf.click2houston.com/hou/sh/con_surveycontest_display/sur_results_nt.cfm
The average guy will blame the most visible figure. Is that tendency something new to you? Additionally, the opinion of the average guy tends to sway based upon the most recent stimulus, i.e., "what have you done for me lately?". Is this also something new to you? In other words, that poll comes as no surprise, and it would have been wildly different 7 days ago.
Yeah, you're right. I'm the only one that ever argues outside of D&D. On top of that, I actually hate David Carr. I'm the one who actually threw my beer on his wife.
Exactly. AND 3,400 people who are willing to vote... and 3,400 people who have an Internet connection... and 3,400 people who turn off the TV in the 1st quarter or don't watch the entire game... and 3,400 people who are not Gary Kubiak or David Carr or Bob McNair or Andre Johnson.
3400 people who: a) knew that Click-2-Houston existed; b) sought out Channel 2's website as a great place to get some quality news; c) took the time to vote in a Click-2-Houston internet poll. I, for one, put a loooooot of credence into what this segment of the population thinks.
