There seems to be two distinct factions regarding David Carr here on the BBS: The Haters and The Appologists. So I figure we can list our predictions for him this season. Afterwards, we can revisit it and see who is Nostradamus on this board. I'll go first. I'm an optimist. 3,600 Yrds 62% Completion 20 TD 12 INT 54 Sacks Little better than 2004. No benching. Carr plays the entire season.
David Carr has already been exposed as a failure. He played so bad in the preseason that you almost felt bad for him. He is just completely shellshocked, too panicked and jumpy and scared to look down the field and make a throw, or he is just too dumb and can't process things fast enough. However, I think it is the former. Well be praying for Sage and Brady Quinn after the 1st half of the Eagles game. Anybody who thinks he has been any good, is just as blind as Bob McNair and Gary Kubiak were when they extended his contract and decided he was the guy at QB.
30 Touchdown Passes 10 Rushing Touchdowns 3,800 yards in the air 70.33 % Completion 500 yards on the ground 75 Sacks 2.5 interceptions
I didn't mean for this to be another Carr debate. There's been enough of that on the BBS already. If you think he sucks, Great. Make a prediction. Say he gets benched in week 1. If you think Kubiak will turn him around a la Plummer then make that prediction. Let your prediction speak for you. There's been too much debate already so: PLEASE! NO DEBATE! PREDICTIONS ONLY!
11 TD 21 INT 55.2% Completion Rate 19 Sacks (The O-Line looks good) David Carr will be detailing my car this time in 2008.
You can't be exposed or prove anything in preseason football. It is totally and completely irrelevant. Yards: 3,500 TD: 18 INT: 11 Completion Percentage: 57.2 43 sacks Rating: above 85
No predictions here, but if Carr doesn't do well, at least we got a better back up in Rosenfels than Banks. Sage will have his time to shine if Carr doesn't do well. Hopefully this will motivate him.
In each of the past two seasons, quarterback David Carr has completed more than 60.0 percent of his passes. Entering his fifth season, Carr has started 16 games in three of the past four years. His 11 interceptions in 2005 accounted for the lowest total of his career. With 6,019 yards in the past two seasons, Carr is one of eight AFC quarterbacks to surpass 6,000 yards since 2004.
Did you just cut and paste this from HPF or are you the same guy that wrote it over there, word for word? Oh, and I don't think he had near as bad a preseason as people are saying. I expect a middle to slightly above middle of the pack QB this year. Could become something similar to Hasselback or Delhome.
3700 yards 64% Completion percentage 20 TDs 12 Ints I think he will have the best year of his career...He will throw for ~200 more yards than he did 2 years ago. He's hit better than 60% of his targets over the last 2 years, so I dont see why that would change. He also hasnt thrown more Ints than TDs over the last 2 years, so I dont see why that would change as well.
The reason his percentage is so high is because of all those 5 yard dump off passes to DD (when our coaching staff couldn't figure out how to combat the dreaded 'cover 2' defense) and the reason his int's were so low is because most of the time he couldn't even get the ball out of his hands to throw an INT before being NAILED TO THE TURF. I think he'll have an average to slightly better than average year, but the team will do well because of the running game and the defense. 20 TD's 18 INT's 20 Sacks
