Dude, if Carr gets a clean slate this season I think Harrington should as well. Based on that Harrington showed more heart, leadership. and poise in 1 qtr than Carr has this entire season. Actually wasn't he benched today for quitting ?????
Taking VY, Bush, or an OT would not have helped. To tell u the truth I bet u even if this team had the 1st pick four years in a row we would still be terrible, this team has so many holes, I don't even know where they should start. After what, 6 top draft picks, look how long it took the Bengals to finally get on the right track. It looks like we are in for a decade of mediocrity folks.
im probably gonna get hated for this, but i like Tony Romo,Vince Young. I also think Harrington is a clone of carr...dont use stats..im watching the games and Harrington just seems to be like carr, some physical tools but not the mind...reminds me of carr
is that a joke? There is no way he could be doing any worse that what Dayne did today (14yrds on the ground). He may not be tearing it up but i'm sure he would have been a huge improvement over what we already have
Thats the problem. Everyone is looking at the draft to solve the holes. Rookies will be rookies and make rookie mistakes. You have to look into FA to fill your holes. One good offseason and your team could easily turn themselves around.
i don't think any of you carr supporters have any understanding of the fact that it possible for a quarterback to be talented enough to keep his team competitive and in games despite the "lack of skill" of the rest of his team. david carr is nowhere close to being that level of qb. he is garbage people. he cannot win games, he cannot make plays, he cannot make things happen. i do not care what stats you want to throw out. the results speak for themselves. i dont understand how many more years you people can defend him. it's his 5th FCKING year for crying out loud and he hasn't shown a glimpse in ONE SINGLE GAME of being able to carry a team. give it up people. david carr is a worthless quarterback.
I agree. People are still treating him like he is a ROOKIE, but he is not. This is his fifth year in the NFL. If he has not gotten it by now, he isnt going to. You are right, it is possible for a quarterback to to carry a team withou much talent. Look at Tom Brady last year, lookat his recievers, look how old and useless Corey dillon was last year. Now look at the Texans, they had/have better recievers, and DD was better than Dillon last year. Brady's O-Line was severley depleted with multiple injuries, yet he still brought his team into the playoffs, almost single-handedly.
i agree. while people still think he's a decent qb. dont make the same mistake as the astros and lidge
I think had Dom BENCHED him more early on . . . it would have helped him Carr has never been challenged. . he ALWAYS knew he would start the very idea of him competing for his job was foreign around here he needed someone on the bench to push him Rocket River
I'd take David Carr over Drew Bledsoe anyday. His throws weren't off (if they were not by much) today. He did good avoiding the pass rush. He cant help that the rest of his team isn't picking up their part. There has always been a big hole in the Texans O.
Okay, slate is clean. Prior to today's game (ESPN's stats haven't updated yet), Harrington has played in one game, throwing 0 TDs and 2 INTs with a 58.2 rating. Carr has started 4 games, throwing 7 TDs and 2 INTs with a 108.9 rating. Harrington > Carr??? I don't see it.
Maybe not, because of our run schemes. We get shut down everytime running up the middle. We should give up on that. Our line can't keep the defenders where we need them, and there are NEVER holes. I like Mario (and he had a good game). But man, if someone was going to tell me that DD would be out the entire season. I would have preferred Bush.
did you ever watch any of the Lions game when Harrington was QB? he was over throwing wide receivers who are 6'5'' and could jump like michael jordan! it was clearly Harrington's fault, he's not very accurate. he has a decent arm tho.
I dont know why so many people keep on defending CARR? So if the team sucks is always the OL? or the D'fense? but never CARR? the main focus of a team? ..... The GUY CAN"T LEAD!! us to any wins yeaaah our Dfense sucks but 6pts???? Harrington = BUST Carr = BUST for #1 pick
Leading a team to a win is what VY did today in Washington, I think TENN has alot less talents than us .... ooh can't wait till Tenn comes to Houston
The thesis imho is sound. Trading Carr now idea will be because of the reasons of past years. Carr is a solid NFL QB and we are lucky we have one unlike a good number of other teams in the league. The key here is REBUILDING. Kubiak can say all the good things but the fact remains that we are or at least should be in a rebuilding mode. The Casserly/Dom experiment fell short. We lack talent seriously. Trading Carr to a desperate team will give us an opportunity to break the clay and remold. It is about selling high. Can Carr's stock be any higher? I doubt it. The last this we want if for the fate that befell Ensberge and Lidge to befall Carr (acute value depreciation). Carr deserves an opportunity to play for a winning team - we are at least 2 years away from even thinking of having a winning season talkless of becoming a "winning team". I do not know how the salary cap will be affect by such a proposal but for what it is worth, I do not see this happening before Tuesday (maybe off season).
