how about that Reggie Bush? pretty good game, eh? unfortunately, i've come to realize that Carr is not the man.
Reggie Bush got clowned today. What the hell is a RB doing throwing an interception? This statement should be a non-sequitur, but it isn't because you've been so hard on Bush's dick.
Rosenfeld is a better QB than David Carr. Don't try and throw out arguments against it, you saw it. It was right there in front of your eyes. The poise, the decision making, the leadership. It was right there in front of you. An old journey man QB is just as good or better than your 'franchise' #1 pick QB. Face the music Texan fan. Face the facts Texan fan. I apologized for my harsh criticism of Carr after he led the team to victory over Jax. I was stupid for that. Look at the body of work. Gary Kubiak did the right thing- he pulled Carr. Now he is doing the wrong thing- he is trying to psych Carr and everyone of us by starting him next week. In practice Carr may be better than an average journey man. But he has rarely shown anything in a game. He has never been the MVP of a game. It is only a matter of time, Carr will flame out eventually. He will become the journeyman. 4 1/2 yrs of excuses = failure. Casserly stuck it to this franchise. Then Dan Reeves stuck it to this franchise (he was a Carr guy), next Kubiak sticks it to the franchise; they extend Carr and here we are about ready to start all over and try to come up with a starting QB. Carr deserves to lose the starting job. Don't think for a second that the players on this team are going to keep rallying around Carr. Rosenfeld made very good decisions yesterday with the football, anyone who watched the game could see the difference in confidence and decision making once we got Carr out of the game. It is so sad.
BTW - there is a split locker room on the Texans. Lance Z on 610 just said that Corey Bradford told him face to face that Carr was a sorry QB. I have heard that Gary Walker and Jonathon Wells said the same things. They are all gone (deservedly) but it shows there has been a split locker room in the past on David Carr, and that isn't good either. I wish Andre Johnson would step up and say how he really feels about Carr because I don't think he can stand him.
This is the one thing I worry about as to whether Carr is a leader and has the team's respect. It is clear to me that VY is a leader, and has the intangibles that make players great. Carr has the physical talent, but does he make the players around him better, do they play HARDER for Carr than normal? THAT is what a leader is all about. I do think Carr is making progress, and don't put too much stock in one bad game......let's see how he rebounds...... We already know that VY would. DD
For anyone that says that Carr has improved this year, you seriously have wool pulled over your eyes. His stats look better but that's mostly due to a big game in Indy in garbage time, Andre Johnson making good catches, and a lot of short dumpoffs that are part of the new offense. His pocket presence is as bad as ever, he still steps into sacks, and makes presnap decisions on where the ball is going(see quadruple coverage on AJ yesterday). He's not going to become "the guy" next week, next month, next season, or ever. Best case scenario for the Texans is that he bombs next week in NY, Rosenfels takes over, and we dump Carr over the summer for a 3rd rounder or whatever we can get. I don't know who will look for as a replacement but Matt Schaub is an RFA that could be had.
Comments made while they played with Carr. Maybe that is why they are no longer Texans. Just indicates that there could be a split amongst players on Carr and it won't be in the media.
I dont think Andre likes. on the sideline, Andre always seems frustrated at David and i cant blame him
you guys seriously amaze me. stop and realize something for a second. if ONE GAME sends you over the edge praising him, or damning him, then you probably should do a couple things: 1) never watch another nfl game again 2) never post in a texans related BBS thread again consider this question, "if the Texans won last sunday, I would not be saying Carr is done". If the answer to this question is "yes", then you need to take some medication. week to week we seem to have people calling him jesus in shoulderpads or the devil in a helmet. its just insanity.
do you honestly believe that the locker room is solidly behind David Carr right now, no matter what they say in the press? you don't think there are guys in the locker room thinking, "we have a better chance to win next week with sage than with david...and i just wanna win." ??? did you see the difference in the pocket for sage? it didn't seem rushed. when there was pressure...he moved. he adjusted with the flow of the game. it wasn't rigid. it wasn't forced. it just happened..he let the game develop and hit his spots. sage isn't a pro bowler. but sage put an end to any credence i EVER gave the Carr excuses yesterday. in less than a half of football, he threw for 3 TD's yesterday. he moved the ball up and down the field. yeah, there was pressure...but it never felt the same way it does when carr gets pressure. yesterday confirmed for me everything i believe about david carr...both when he was on the field and when he wasn't on the field.
yeah..it's just one game. no one ever complained about carr before yesterday. no one ever said he makes too many poor decisions forcing the ball into spots before. no one ever said he fumbles too much. no one ever said he lacks presence/poise. no one ever said he was too inconsistent from week to week. yeah...yesterday was brand new. before yesterday, no one ever questioned david carr.
I don't think there is a "split locker room" against Carr anymore than there is one against the offensive line or anyone else. This split locker room stuff is something people like to bring up when a QB does poorly, no matter that there is no evidence for it. I agree on the pocket presence stuff, Carr needs to do a much better job of feeling the rush and stepping out at the right times. And he needs to hold onto the ball if he gets sacked. He needs to learn how to feel the pressure.
it's totally different with a QB. locker rooms don't split over offensive lines. we don't read/hear about offensive line controversies. QB controversies consume teams....and coaches are purposeful to avoid them. i'm not sure the pocket presence stuff is something that can be learned at this point. after umpteen years of playing competitive football...and 4.5 years of pro football...if you don't have it, i don't think it's magically gonna develop. other things might...but not that. it's largely instinctual.
so did you read what I said? guess not. where did I say this was new? where, mr. max? in fact, I even said, IN THE POST that people have said this about him before. BUT, people don't seem to be rationalizing their thoughts at all. Carr has a bad game, instantly he needs to be canned. Carr has a good game, instantly he's the messiah. its just back and forth constantly.. no one ever puts together a solid case for Carr's replacement.. all we hear is "he doesn't look like a leader" and other nonsense like that. So Carr had a bad game, one of the few he's had this year.. so -now- its time to get rid of him? halfway through the season? good call..
