I really wish David would read this. Ric is correct though, the question must have been dumb...but Carr could have done a much better job fielding it.
Let's stop talking about David Carr. I don't really like seeing his name.... especially on a CURRENT Texan's team game thread. We were all so elated when he left; let's not bring him back over a silly comment that we all know he was and is capable of.
to carr's credit, he's never ducked an interviewer or a question; seems like a stand-up guy, in that respect. unfortunately, more and more, i'm starting to get the distinct impression he's simply not a bright guy, on or off the field. that's a question he should have recognized as stupid and ignored. if he were a rookie, ok. but this is his 6th year in the league; he should know better.
i think our offense is going to get skunked. our defense will keep us in the game for the first half, but the second half we get torched. 27-6 Panthers
Certainly a possibility. The defense last week looked really good--against a bad team. I hope they hold their own and are in position to win it in the 4th.
It's weird, but it's almost therapeutic for me to talk crap about Carr now. Maybe because I've been defending him for 5 years and I've finally seen the err of my ways.
Stand up guy? Yes. Bright guy? No. Like you said, he should have ignored it. It was instant locker room material. He should have just kept his mouth shut.
Texans 17 Car 13 Texans One td pass to Owen Daniels One rushing td for Green 40+ yard field goal for brown Car 2 chip shot field goals after the D holds inside the 20 1 busted play for S. Smith due to the new safties. 0 sacks for W because he is saving it for the rookie next week! (not really but it makes it sound good) We lose time of possesion but win the game!!!
Haha, I know the feeling...It really kinda feels good to bash him now. And I'd love nothing more than for him to find the field and get smoked. That would complete me.
Carr is Pathetic. Check out this article.... "we wouldn't have won" Carr enjoys backup role in Carolina after 5 years with Houston By MIKE CRANSTON, AP Sports Writer September 12, 2007 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- David Carr fidgeted and didn't know where to stand. The five-year starter in Houston spent all of Carolina's season opener at St. Louis on the sidelines. Barring an injury to Jake Delhomme, Carr won't take a snap when the Panthers' face the Houston Texans -- his former team -- this Sunday either. And yet Carr thinks he was the happiest player on his team after last Sunday's 27-13 win over the Rams. "To tell you the truth, we wouldn't have won in that situation," Carr said Wednesday of the Texans. "I don't know a lot of teams that would have won in the situation, to go up and beat a good team like St. Louis in their home opener. "This is what I signed up for -- to be on a football team like this and hopefully somewhere down the line get a chance to play." Carr didn't get a lot of experience with winning in Houston, where he carried the pressure of being the top pick in the 2002 draft and of being the face of the expansion team. The Texans were 24-56 in five years and Carr, a victim of a porous offensive line, was sacked an NFL-high 249 times. The team also played under a cloud last season as fans questioned the decision to take defensive end Mario Williams with the No. 1 overall pick ahead of Vince Young and Reggie Bush. After going 6-10 last season under first-year coach Gary Kubiak, the Texans acquired Matt Schaub from Atlanta and anointed him the starter. Carr was then released. "It was a very difficult decision," Kubiak said Wednesday. "In this business you're making tough decisions all the time that you feel like are best for your football team. With David, I have tremendous respect for what he did here in Houston and what he did for me in the short time we were together." The split was probably good for both sides. The Texans needed a fresh start with a new QB -- and looked good in their season-opening 20-3 win Sunday over Kansas City. Carr needed a rest from the losing -- and the constant pounding from all the sacks. It's why he signed a two-year, $6.2 million deal to be Carolina's backup when he would have had a chance to start elsewhere. "It was a situation that got so big with the draft and everything that happened in the last 15 months, I was happy to get out of there, to tell you the truth," Carr said. "You're disappointed, but you have to move on. I'm on a good football team now and I'm happy where I'm at. I'm enjoying what I'm doing and enjoying football again." Even though he's not playing. Delhomme cemented his position as starter when he threw for 201 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions against the Rams. Carr spent the game adjusting to his new role as a backup. "It was different. I would be lying to you if I said I was comfortable out there," Carr said. "I found myself not knowing what to do standing there and looking at pictures and then getting ready to go back into the series and you just kind of watch. But I tried to help Jake as much as I could." Delhomme said he's been impressed with Carr's professionalism. "David has been great from day one, but I didn't have the notion he'd be any different," Delhomme said. "He's been extremely helpful." And a chance to be even a bigger help this week. Carr knows the ins and outs of the Texans under Kubiak better than anyone. In a league where teams go to great to get an edge on an opponent -- see the New England spying case -- Carr could have a lot to offer the Panthers' coaching staff. "If they ask the right question, I'll give them the right answer," Carr said. "I've got a lot of knowledge. But Gary is going to tweak it a little bit. He understands where I'm at right now and he knows what I know." Carr plans to have dinner with several old teammates Saturday night. But he insists he'll remember which sideline he's on the next day. "It will be different but I've worn these colors now and I'm kind of used to the Panthers," Carr said. "I kind of like what we did last week and I'm pumped up." http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_y....uLYF?slug=ap-panthers-carr&prov=ap&type=lgns
Uh....no he doesn't. That's why he got benched and eventually released last year. No. You don't. No he isn't. He doesn't need to. He tweaked it after you left because you were too dumb to understand it. Yes, we all do. You're holding a clipboard and you know nothing. Damn, that felt good.
I believe they use a network MB, so if you are registered to the Titans MB, you can log in to the Panther's MB.
Man, when they disrespect you like that, it is hard to refrain from returning the trash talk. Now if you troll on a MB and start talking trash without being provoked, well I have no sympathy.
Sign me up for your club! I threw a fit when I heard the Texans gave up 2 2nd round pics for New # 8, but am damn happy they did now! Matt has the true healing powers!!
I have a question for D.C. You dont know how you won that game last week, but weren't you on the team that went down to Miami and beat them opening day at their house? Maybe taking to many sacks has made you lose some of your memory. Or just the memory on how to win!
