Okay, so you folks want some authentic Houston blogging?
Fine.
This is David Carr:
He sucks.
Happy now?
Okay, okay. A little backstory.
David Carr is the quarterback for the expansion team Houston, Texans. He holds the record for being sacked the most number of times in a season, which is a very large number.
It’s probably not as much as the number of times Madonna’s been thrown to the ground and piled on by five or six 250-pound men all at once. Madonna wasn’t wearing pads, either.
Anyway, he’s a really bad quarterback. Throws more interceptions than touchdowns. And the interceptions usually resultin touchdowns for the opposing team (like today).
He’s been the quarterback for the team since it showed up at our doorstep, mewing and rubbing against our legs.
Five years. All losing seasons. If it weren’t for the fact that the Super Bowl was played at Reliant a few years back, I’d say the turf hadn’t been broken in yet by 2 professional teams on the field at once.
So, NFL, five years ago you said that professional football was coming back to Houston.
We’re still waiting for it.
The really sad thing is he probably COULD have been developed into a halfway decent QB if he was with a team that could protect him. But when the kid gets that beat up in his first few years, he goes from promising to gunshy to useless very quickly.
frankly, i blame the front line for giving up a sack every 4 seconds. he wasn’t bad last year, and they were said to be one of the up and coming young teams – people even picked them as a dark horse for the playoffs this year. i figured they’d be close to .500, well ahead of the titans but behind the colts and my jags…but i was way off.
I agree. The lack of even a decent running game shows that it’s a problem with the front line, not Carr. As it stands now, the Texans are in the lead to get the first draft pick in April. Maybe that will motivate them to build a good offensive line to protect whomever they draft.
Sixth,
It probably won’t, they’ll figure that Reggie Bush can make people miss in the pro’s like he does in college.
I’ll bet that Lions and Cardinals fans have very little sympathy for you.
Me, I’m a Bears fan. Been one since 1959.
I had Carr on my fantasy football team last year, and he did well for me. I picked him in the 17th round but he wound up starting for me as he got better numbers than my other quarterbacks, Steve McNair and Jake Delhomme. He definitely helped make my Molly Ringwald Fan Club a better team.
This year, though, the Texans just can’t get anything going offensively, even with a talented RB like Domanick Davis. I, too, blame the line. It’s just not getting Carr and Davis the time they need to make a play.
Cardinals fans only have the new stadium to look forward to. Which seems to be coming along nicely, since I’ve driven by it lately.
I’ve been predicting Colts for the past few years, so we’ll see if Manning can take his team through playoffs… I’m betting he can.
im well educated and all and i have decided that………..i agree with you david car…………. is awfull and he may i say it david carr sux miserably his line doesnt help much and LOOK AT THE EXPRESION ON HIS FACE i mean cmon you can at least go down with dignety
