    Why is no one talking about Leech being back? He's probably the best blocker we have on the team. Yay Leech!

    A little different take... sounds kinda sad.

    Carr and Williams released
    March 23, 2007
    By Carmine Pirone
    link - www.HoustonTexans.com

    In a move that only amplifies the Texans' desire to move forward instead of looking back, the team announced Friday the release of quarterback David Carr and running back Domanick Williams.

    The duo’s days in Houston were numbered. Carr, when the Texans traded for quarterback Matt Schaub Thursday and Williams when he had yet another setback in an attempted comeback from knee surgery a few weeks back.

    An era has ended and with it the careers of Houston ’s all-time leading passer and rusher. Carr passed for more than 13,000 yards in his five-year career while Williams has amassed over 3,000 on the ground.

    Carr passed for 59 touchdowns, setting a franchise mark that likely won’t be challenged for years. Williams’ 28 total touchdowns will likely last a while as well.

    As rare as it is for a team to release a tandem of players so decorated in franchise history, Friday’s move is not really surprising.

    Thanks to debilitating knee injury, Williams did not play a down during the 2006 campaign and with yet another setback on the road to recovery this offseason, his career in the NFL could be over.

    Carr is nothing if not durable, but a change in direction by the front office had Carr looking for a new home this offseason. Since a trading partner could not be found, Carr will spend the next weeks and months looking for another home.

    The former number one overall pick has plenty of football left in him. At 27, his best day’s in the NFL could be ahead. Whether or not a team will give him a chance to start for them in 2007 is anyone’s best guess, but considering Carr’s raw athleticism he will certainly find a home somewhere before this season begins, but for the first time in his career he’ll be taking snaps in a uniform other then the Texans.


    ---almost sounds like they're doubtful Carr will even play again? Maybe he is considering calling it a career?

    ---also, Houston fans were forever spoiled by Moon, and hated him when he was here...

    I wouldn't say it is ridiculous. It is hindsight. Of course VY would be a better pick than Mario Williams if you subtract the Texan Management's mistakes at the QB spot from his value. If you replace VY with Cutler or Leinart, the equation would hold true because the Texans have spent a lot of resources (cap room and picks) on the QB position.

    VY still has as much to prove in the NFL as MW.

    He threw almost as many TD's last year as INTs and his QB rating was almost 70. Duh!

    59 / 5 = 11.8

    59 / 4 = 14.75

    59 / 3 = 19.6

    59 / 2 = 29.5


    I see Schaub taking at least three, maybe four years to reach 59 TD's at the helm.. but hey, Lets' hope for 2!

    Wouldn't that be sweet? ;)

    btw- that described Carr last season.. that's the irony of DD's views on VY. :D (yeah I know... in less games, but still)

    Of course it's sarcasm. We all know Shaub is going to throw 62 TD's this season and only 3 INT's. No way this franchise record lasts more than one season.

    Yet, his inspired play down the stretch earned him an invite to the Pro Bowl in his rookie season. Carson Palmer, Peyton Manning...and Vince Young.
