Everyone Is Wrong About EVERYTHING

[swtbound07]

Allright, I've kept my mouth shut for quite some time, but its time to put some things out on the table that I happen to know, and dispel some of the common myths on this board. I absolutely refuse to reveal my source, but you can take this stuff or leave it, won't change that im right.

One, for everyone saying that today was the last straw, and David Carr has to go, your wrong twice. For one thing, he should have gone last year, THAT was the last straw.

Two, and let me put this in bold so you can understand this:
David Carr Will Be Allowed to play out the remainder of his contract extension. PERIOD.
You can draw up lists, look at free agents, do whatever you want. Carr will be here until his extension runs out, and its very possible he could get a new contract after that.

even if we WERE looking to acquire a quarterback, it wouldn't be matt schaub. the price will be too high, and frankly he will be the most sought after qb on the market, and we cant pull that.

We won't draft Kevin Kolb. PERIOD. Not even in the 7th. Our scouting department and team have a policy to avoid local players. I can't tell you why, but I can promise you that we aint getting any UH or UT boys. Let it go.

Jake Plummer aint coming to save us. Its not happening. we won't pick up another qb.

Andre, David, and Dunta aren't going to be benched. its not happening.

Mcnair isn't going to publicly apologize. its not happening.

 

[Wolf]

I agree with that statement SWT

 

[swtbound07]

I don't WANT to hear anything. Im just telling you whats going to happen

Allrighty then. I believe you, but I don't have to be happy about it.

I guess the only thing left at this point is either A. drink my way through the games, B. find a football season prescription to some kind of funny pills, or C. hope for the best, expect the worst and try not to care so much.

 

[The Dream]

I agree, who in the hell would want David?....this is "one" of the reasons why I wasn't so big on the texans signing him back.

 

[GanadoUHCoog]

after this year, either Carr goes or the fans go........I guarantee it. If Carr stays the stadium won't even be half-sold on gamedays. Money talks. Carr will be traded for a 4th rd pick.....I GUARANTEE IT.

Im not making predictions sir...im telling you what our owner and organization have already decided. You can bet me if you like.

 

[HoustonFrog]

Completely wrong. If McNair wants to continue to be the laughingstock of the league while losing a dwindling fan base then Carr will be back. It would be franchise suicide to keep running the guy out there. I'm sorry but I have a hard time believing that Mr. McNair is really that dumb of a business man considering his non-football success.

 

[TexanLen]

Right now, it just looks like a bad, bad business decision. Not only for the team, but also for the fans. McNair will lose a lot of fans if stays with Carr. I am not doubting you SWT, i am just not happy with their decisions here lately.

 

[Honch Delgado]

I wouldn't be surprised. Nothing this incompetent organization does shocks me anymore.

 

[joedinkle]

care to give any insight as to why these decisions are being made since you seem/claim to be in the know?

 

[TexanLen]

I don't see where another team would be dumb enough to take this TOTAL 100% LOSER. It would only set THAT team back years if THEY let him play.

If he goes anywhere, he will probably compete for a starting job but end up a back up ala Harrington who was benched today for bad performance.

 

[beerlover]

speaking about everything going wrong, Phillip Buchanon is leading the Tampa Bay Bucs right now tied with Chicago (overtime) with 8 tackles. Jabar Gaffney catching a TD against his former team (& dropping one) & Billy Miller resurfacing in New Orleans with 3 catches.......

dude, you arent alone...could not have said it better

 

[Wolf]

Thing is like SWT said.. Carr will be here,like it or not.. What better option? draft Smith? .. no, this team has multiple holes in it right now,and yes we will probably draft a Qb in the later rounds, but right now we have numerous holes to fill. I could see us go with defense/runningback and OL in the 1st few rounds .. now next season, I could see us draft a qb to sit for a year and when Carr's contract is up possibly replace him

 

[TexanLen]

How many more years does Carr have on his contract? Is it 5 after this year?

They will draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th round. Carr will be gone. The cap hit really isn't that harsh compared to what people think.

Im in the know...and believe me i wish i wasn't. Knowledge strips optimism. These decisions were made by Mcnair. Kubiak has 3 years to turn DC into a winner, then one of them is gone...and it probably won't be Carr.

[coachemup]

ouch...
however, i have a couple of buddies that have said, that the Texans are being preened and prepped to be sold.

I don't want that to happen, but damn... if what SWT says is true, then I may have to start listening to my buds.

 

[TheIronDuke]

I think that Bob McNair as a businessman would know that fans won't continue supporting this franchise financially with DC at QB. Well, at least I hope so. McNair didn't become a billionaire by being stupid, and sure he blew off what the fans wanted in the last draft, but if he continues to ignore what the fans want then he will not be getting their $$$$$$$$.

At least, I hope that this is how the situation works out. Otherwise McNair will be seeing more empty seats than ever before and I won't be able to watch the game at home since the game will be blacked out.

 

[HoustonFrog]

Wanna bet Froggy?

If I saw you, I would bet you. No matter what knowledge you say you have, the team would not be leaking their plans for the guy this early. McNair is being embarrassed right now and unless he likes losing money and having a half empty stadium where you can't get Free Agents, then Carr will not be here. The experiment was to see where he was at after a year and right now he has regressed again. McNair knows that you can't stick with a plan and watch it run into the ground..ala Capers.

 

[Tulip]

How many more years does Carr have on his contract? Is it 5 after this year?

I think it's 2 after this year. Carr voided the final year of this original contract, and the Texans picked up a 3 year option in February. I'm not sure, though.

The info is leaking because most of our internal organization is very quietly printing resume's and looking for new jobs...the ship is sinking and they are bailing.

3 YEARS!!!!!! If this team isn't winning in 3 years, there is no way Carr is still here. At the very least both Kubiak and Carr will be gone after 3 more years of losing. Carr should at least a year before Kubiak goes.

This is proof positive that your drinking the anti-Texan kool-aid! In 3 years Carr will be in his early 30's. If he hasn't done anything by that time, he won't be in the NFL, much less with the Texans. You are turning into a troll, eh?

If Bob has already decided that Carr is the QB for the next 3 years, he should sell the team. I just don't believe any business man would make such a foolish decision.

He'll be 30 in 3 years. I know, old for a QB.

Avoid local players?? Steve Mckinney is a white boy from Clear Lake H.S and he is still there. Now VY, a black guy from Madison H.S and the FO passed on him....hmm. Seems like there some iqnorant politics is going on with the FO thats costing the franchise millions in profits....think about it!!

Thus even more reasons why McNair would not sit still. Your team is a joke and people are leaving the organization, so you stand pat?I'm sorry but you are being fed bad info.

Bandwagon, can you please name me a Super Bowl team, or for that matter any NFL team that goes into a draft and picks its players based on what the fans want? I for one can't think of any! And if you can think of any, tell me how they decide who to pick, since most fans can't agree on just one particular player? Do they go with majority rules or do they just find the most knowledgeable "armchair" QB and ask his opinion?

Every NFL team owner has a GM and HC that they hired to run the organization. I know some owners like to meddle more than others (bud, Jerry, and Al Davis come to mind), but for the most part I think the owners hire the GM and HC because they were sold on whatever plans they presented to build the team. With Casserly and Capers I don't think they were even on the same page. I think McNair hired Kubes because he was sold on the plan that Kubes has to build this team, and I think he has given him X amount of years (3 if you believe SWT) to make it happen. And I think Smith was hired because he worked with Kubes in Denver and McNair doesn't want the same thing happening again that happened with CC and Dom.

McNair knows that the way to put fans in the seats is to have a winner, regardless of who the fans wanted to draft. He has hired Kubes and Smith to make that happen. He has put his trust in them that they will right the ship, but he knows it will take time. Anyone, as a fan has the right to stop going to games, not buy tickets, or whatever they choose to do. But if you think this, or any NFL team, is going to start asking the fans who they want in the draft, you're crazy! JMHO!

Sorry for the rant!

 

[Hervoyel]

I don't WANT to hear anything. Im just telling you whats going to happen

Let me add that by mid-season next year there will be an average of 13,091 fans attending home games for the Texans and following the second home game of the season everything played in Reliant will be blacked out.

As long as you're telling everyone what's absolutely going to happen then I want in on this action. My source is common friggin sense. No way in hell enough people are going to be stupid enough to sell out 8 games of this mess if nothing changes.

 

[DRAMA]

I believe you....I worked at one of our 3 franchises from the inside productions media aspect. The things that were said on the plane, in the video rooms really can't be repeated too verbatim because it can easily traceable. So many times I've heard things that would shock the city but you can't say it.

Things do change though...you never know what's coming real soon...right around the corner.

WHAT BETTER OPTION ... if Carr is back its' because of McNair . It's not hard to find a better QB

If I feel that's going to happen then find something else to do on Sundays .

That's not as crazy as it sounds. When the Oilers left town I dropped NFL football like it was on fire because if Houston didn't have a team then I didn't give a crap what happened.

I'm out next year if I don't see some changes. This team is going to have to make me believe again if they want anymore of my money or attention. That's really the bottom line. I know how to occupy myself on a Sunday afternoon without the NFL involved. Just about anything would be better than watching the kind of performance we see weekly with the Texans.
