    um, that was my point. sure, you can think the team's name is dumb. but how can you justify whether you're a fan of the team or not, soley b/c of their name?

    If someone has only a passing interest in football, perhaps a mascot, name or logo is enough to gain some interest or spurn what was left.

    Wow, this thread seems so applicable today.

    Everyone just jumped on the chance to bash Carr. Where were all the haters last week?

    BTW, Super Duper Sage still isn't starting next week. Poor haters.

    I don't care who starts, I just want to win and Sage gives us a better chance to win, the Texans got lucky in Jax, they ran into an injured QB and a Jags team that thought just by showing up they could win, they dropped passes and missed plays defensively all game long and the Texans took what was handed to them, kindof like what the Texans did in the first half yesterday.

    So, none of that was due to Carr. It was all the Jags D fault. :rolleyes:

    He can't win with you haters. Go ahead and sport your gear for next week. We all know who ya'll will be rooting for...

    The lack of responses by the haters after last week is Exhibit A.

    Yeah, I took the bait and i'll probably take it again next time DC decides not to play like a complete punk b**** but enough is enough, he's a number one overall pick who has yet to put it together for any substantial period, and no I don't put much credence in QB rating when most of that consists of dump offs to your backs, three yard curl routes to TEs or lofting it up to perhaps the most physically gifted wideout in the league. I want a QB who leads his team to victory, Sage would have yesterday.

    That's why Sage is a career backup, huh?

    Who cares I am not calling Sage Joe Montana. Just that he would have won the game and is possibly a better option than DC

    The Texans are doing an excellent job of getting fans back into the old bashing the team mode, just like the good old days when the home team wore columbia blue.

    When they don't show up to give deserved props after a good game, which is the entire point of this thread.

    its so rare that they do good that fans don't how to give them praise. this is so far one of the worst if not the worst expansion franchise in nfl history, including the lowly bucs, and some of you guys want to complain about fan complaining?

    It's not the complaining that we're complaining about. It's the lack of praise when the team does something. Just like the Bush lovers disappear when he has a bad game and Mario has a good one.

    I think most people expect them to be doing what they did last week, on a more consistent basis by now. Are we supposed to give them a cookie every time they do good - or even better - win a game?
    We expect them to, if not go root for the cubs or Az Cardinals.

    I think most people expected the Arizona Cardinals to be better than the Texans this season. If you had playoff aspirations for this team, you have absurd standards.

    I think people are just tired of having to have sh*tty standards when it comes to the team.

    I'm just as tired as everyone else. But I'm not going to pick the guy who's had a pretty good year as the scapegoat just because he's the QB.

    I'm not so sure he's a scapegoat.

    I don't think most people would feel too bad with scrapping just about anyone on the team responsible for this mess. That should include Carr.

    I think the people who want to put all the blame on him and only him are just as bad as the people who seem to think he is untouchable.

    I've got no problem making major changes to this team. QB would qualify as a major change.
