Everyone Is Wrong About EVERYTHING

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.

McNair does not need the individual sports fan money, He will make enough off the corporate sales that already exist no matter who the QB is. That is the marketing genius of PSL's.

sold to another owner, not city i hope. how embarassing would that be. i think i'm gonna be depressed til' wednesday again(like last week)[/quote

I wouldn't blame McNair one bit if the team left the city, the fans in houston have proven for years that they don't deserve an NFL team. (thus was born the Titans) The local radio media is way to childish to cover a losing team (at least with any class). The posts that dominate this board are perfect examples of it. The funny part to me is how posters actually believe that they can call out McNair from the Texans Forum and demand that he do what they say. LOL you have to admit its pretty rediculous.

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.

I really like the draft and before the Texans ... I was big into fantasy football . I like talking on this board but if we go with Carr ... I take it it's not about the team and winning .

if our backup is better, then we need to replace the coach ,afterall he is the one saying he'd put the best players on the field (that we have)
 
swt, I've bookmarked your post. You've come out pretty ocnfidently with this one, so I'm going to belive you because you are a pretty reliable guy so far.

However, these are some pretty serious claims that defy all logic. If you're wrong, are you prepared to lose all credibility?

He WILL lose all credibility with this one...No source, just opinion...
 
I don't know how to react, except that I truly believe we'll be a winning franchise in 3yrs. I see progress with Kubiak and next year we're going to be a lot better. MW and DR will be bosses and DD should be back to help out the team.

:texans:
 
If we keep playing like we did today against the Pats, then in about 2 or 4 years, this team will be stocked to the gills with some really great draft picks and depth. Then with the last losing season of Carr's career at Houston, we will have the 1st pick of that draft and get a quality QB and playoffs here we come. Kind of like Indy did once they got Manning. Fine by me, whatever happens I will be in my seat year after year, eating valiums...
 
mark it down. I stand by everything i've said and will eat crow if i'm wrong and never bother you with my inside information again. There is a real source, and if im ever in a position to do so i will reveal it. Right now, I can't.

No, you're just hanging around here spamming up the boards with your bs. You won't reveal your sources, and I understand journalists don't do that, but you're a 20 something year old kid trying to stir something up, you don't write for the New York Times or Boston Globe. Until you say where you're hearing this from, I'll only consider you as a joke who is trying to get a rise out of people.

No, but at the same time, the person i talk to works for the team and i don't think they would take very kindly to him leaking stuff. Im not spamming anything. I've been here for years, and people here know me. Kiss my grits if you don't like my avatar, and go ahead and don't take me seriously. Just stop the personal attacks. Or feel free to ignore this thread. Im sure it will miss the insightfull commentary you've brought so far.

WTF is this all about??!! You mean to tell me that our scouting department has suffered from dehydration in identifying and evaluating talent and their too ignorant to let the fountain of football talent that is the State of Texas at least splash them in the face? How can you ignore Texas talent from a shear population stand point; more players equals more potential talent. That's asinine. If this really is the case then Texans fans have more to worry about than I thought...

Haven't you figured it out yet? The Texans only want stupid players. They figure that the more stupid they play football, the more publicity they will get.

I, myself turned the TV off at halftime. Just a bunch of stupid SOB players who don't even know how to play football out there. I'm glad I didn't waste my money on them this year.

While I have seldom areeded with what SWT says on many non-football related subjects, I have on the whole found him to be a person of reliability and not given to self agrandizment type of statements. On that basis, I would suggest that there is likely some substance to his premis. Is it a given, hardly ever is in life, but certainly worth noting.

So basically that says Houston is football Siberia with a gulag boss who sends you to paradise as punishment for angering him. This is going to work out great. Kubiak is another thin skin to accompany Job McNair so it's not like it's hard to get your ticket punched or anything.

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. Here's the deal. When you are the boss one of the main attributes that got you to where you are was being able to hold your cards tightly while staying the course, until you no longer stayed the course. It serves no meaningful purpose for McNair to do anything right here other than what he did recently and that was the give Carr, Kubiak and the team a vote of confidence. When the time comes to evaluate on field performance, everything will be on the table. This guy is catching justifiable heck for screwing up his franchise but he's not going to fold right here and give everyone the satisfaction of seeing him give in to the anachy. He won't do it. He'll preach staying the course to everyone (except his wife) but especially the little flunkies who work in production rooms and are a friend of a friend of a friend. Carr will probably stay and compete but just because they can't move him. I do not see him coming back to start next year unless he comes in because a guy is hurt.
 
The guys on David's radio show this morning even broached the subject with David on him being elsewhere next year. I didn't hear much of his response so I'm not prepared to say he said this or that but I have to feel even David probably feels like he won't be a Texan much longer.

I think Coach Kubiak has seen enough.
 
This team truly sucks. I was one of the last people to jump off the "Carr is not the problem" bandwagon, but after yesterday, he is done with this team. He plays as if he doesnt care. I think after each Monday, after the game against Washington, then the Jets, then last week, and now today, that this franchise has bottomed out. I have been a season ticket holder since 2002 and am seriously thinking about throwing in the towel. Why spend all this money and drink seven dollar beers to watch this crap? The problem is that because of what Casserly did in years past, I fear that this team is screwed for the next year. I wouldnt know where to start with this next draft.

Dude, drop it already. SWT has a very solid and well deserved repuatation here. Now his non football takes suck. But his football takes are solid. He isn't some troll. Your constant jabs trying to hit at his credibilty reflect on you a lot more than him, I can tell you that.

Does anyone have an avatar of Mcnair on the Titanic? I think he is the captian of the Titanic that refuses to change course even with an iceburg straigt ahead. The only thing missing is the band playing on the deck while the ship sinks. Or maybe he is Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned.

Everyone says we don't believe SWT because it doesn't make any sense. Let me ask you a question. Has anything they have done prior to this made any sense? :ok:
 
The main reason the Texans are bad again this year is because the big heads in your front office won't admit they were wrong by picking David Carr. They didn't want to own up to their bad #1 overall draft pick and move on.

They should have cut their losses and drafted Young, Cutler, or Leinart and began to build this team.

And that's a bad reason to have a bad team.

Are you saying the Texans organization as a whole is in jeopardy? I'm not questioning you or your source. I just find it quite discouraging information as a fan of the team.

Revolution,
Take the first post for what you want. SWT has been around a long time and I have never seen him post something that didn't come true. There are a small group of people here that you can trust when they say something and he is in that group.

Also, don't look at someones post count and judge them. I am at 600 posts, but I have been here since this was at the other website. Believe me. Just because we don't have a million posts, doesn't mean we weren't here since the begining and we can't be trusted.

Just my :twocents:

I would like to say "thank you" for taking the time (and crap from some) to provide this information to the board. Guys like you, and some of the other posters on this board who I respect (but don't always agree with) are the real reason that I spend time reading the board.

I don't know if he plays golf. He does have one of those big off-road trucks with the huge tires for "mudding" and some very attractive fans who come around though. Also, my buddy says that he is a very nice young man who does not appear to have let the money and fame go to his head.

Me too...how painfull do you all think it is for one of the most ardent anti-carr posters in the history of this board to post that he isn't going anywhere? If I was going to start rumours, they certainly wouldn't be in THIS direction.
 
If Bob really cared about Carr he would trade him . Last year when he threw the int. before halftime against KC a 1/4 of the people left and thats because the stadium was 1/2 full . Those who stayed boooed the rest of the game .

I believe you, swt. I know you wouldn't post this info unless you feel certain that it is credible. Thanks for sharing it in spite of being attacked.

Unfortunately, it is quite evident that this team is going nowhere fast. At one time I gave Mr. McNair a free pass for bringing pro football back to Houston and being a 'good' owner by hiring football people and letting them build his team (for better or for worse). But it now appears that our owner is quite active in making football decisions, so he's putting himself in the firing line. And if recent history is any indication, we will be cellar-dwellers for many years to come.

Man, how depressing.

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.

Any comment as to the other poster's "rumor" that the team was being prepped for sale? If so, have you heard if LA / SATX is a suitor ?

Could it be that we are looking to purge some old regime people from our organization without mass firings (i.e. float some fake captain insano strategies as scare tactics)?

It seems to me that some of our new brass would have known this stuff before their hiring and wouldn't have come (if true).

I don't picture Kubiak as a "3 (yr) and out" / make hay while the sun shines / money grubbing HC.

========

On a side note......I wonder why we never hear or see anything out of Rick Smith?

I guess he doesn't want "FESTARI FOR MEN" gift certs.
