While i'm posting on this board I listen to 610. And I heard David Carr wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. He went on asking everyone not to let what he and the team are doing now get anyone down during the holiday. I admit, I have been one of his biggest detractors but I can appreciate him putting all of this criticism in the holiday perspective. Mr. Carr if you read this or anyone that knows him reads this let him know that the Bourda family would like to wish his family and the entire Texans organization a very merry Christmas. Thanks for reminding me to take off my fan goggles off for a second.

Sometimes we all tend to forget that at the end of the day, these guys are humans too.

Carr is a class act and a genuinely nice guy.
 
yeah i do like carr as a person but as a player he is not the QB that will make the texans good

but best of luck to carr

Yep. I don't hate the guy personally, I just want to see the Texans get to the next level, and I don't think Carr's that guy.

Good post. I am one of the last to get off the Carr bandwagon, but I like him as a person and wish him and the rest of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

At this point, I think it's better for Carr and for the Texans to go their separate ways at the end of the season, but I wish Carr the best and hope he enjoys some success in the NFL.

I was reflecting on this earlier in the day, and I thought about Jim Harbaugh, who was drafted by the Bears in the 1st round to be their QB. The fans turned on him, so the team let him go. He subsequently signed with the Colts and one season led them to the AFC Championship game, finishing 2nd in the MVP voting that season.

I thought perhaps Carr could have a similar experience somewhere else and hope that ends up being the case, in large part because I agree with Justice's observation that the organization failed Carr more than Carr failed the team--especially that joke of a former General Manager we used to have. Last year, Pro Football Weekly cited an unnamed NFL source as saying if he were David Carr, he'd sue Casserly for non-support.

Anyway, it was something for me to later see later in the afternoon that Harbaugh was hired today to be the new head coach at Stanford -- right after I thought of him for the first time in years in light of Carr's situation.

Merry XMAS to all!

So, what you are saying is that next year, we will be sans-Carr and will be the Detroit Lions?

No! I expect we will be way better than the Lions, in part due to improved play by the new starting QB, who will be helped by having a better offensive line and running game...

The Lions will continue to remain pitiful until they get rid of Millen, who I think is even worse as a GM than Casserly.
 
I'd love to see some of the Christmas cards sent out by members of this board:

"Merry Christmas - I just wish you'd mow your lawn more".

"I really can't stand how you raise your kids. However, I think you are good people - Happy Holidays".

etc.
 
I've read here that people say that Fresno State never played anybody which is just ignorant. Outside of their WAC schedule they had to play some good teams and they were competitive. They didn't win much but it was fun to watch.

I personally witnessed David connect with Bernard Berrian more than a few times against what was the #7 team in the country named Oregon State under Dennis Erickson, who was an assistant of Jim Sweeney back up north.

They destroyed OSU 63-7 or something like that and I believe a very good Barry Alvarez Wisconsin team learned who Carr and Berrian were.

If I made the highlight reel as being the #1 "JACKED UP!!!" MNF halftime deal, I might have a few other things on my mind, like "Please be open before I get clobbered AGAIN!"

Anyway, Dave would be a good fit on a team that has a competent front office and a team that wants to and has the talent to win. I think Chicago would be a nice place for him to be.

Merry Christmas Dave, Melanie, and Austin!

Hey--all I'm saying is that I don't want Carr to be our starting QB anymore. I don't have any personal animosity towards him.

Sure, let's trade him for Grossman or Orton. He can be reunited with Berrian.

And posting that on the Happy Holidays thread was the only place to put it on the boards? I thought there were a few other Carr threads today where it might have been appropriate.

This is a good post.
 
Great post...I know no one criticizes David Carr the person...a great family man, and a good guy. He just needs a change of scenery.
 
Merry Christmas to David Carr

Now please make this your last Christmas in Houston. That would be a Christmas miracle. I hear Detroit is nice this time of year :shades:

no in all seriousness Merry Christmas to all fans on this board and to the entire Texans organization from top to bottom.
 
Yeah, it's hard to hate the guy as a person. He is a class act. I hate that the guy has regressed horribly as a QB.

Merry Christmas to Carr and his family. Merry Christmas to the entire Texans' organization and their families as well.

Merry Christmas to all on this board and your families.

Agreed. I'm a Carr fan also. I remember watching those games. However, the cadaver has been picked clean in here. If I read between the lines correctly in the interveiws...he's ready to move on also. Alot of folks got him burried in here but I believe he'll make a come back one day. I don't think he's a quiter at all. Any flaws in his game now....this franchise put them there. The way I look at it is this franchise took a great prospect and basically ruined him with lack of support. I don't even think the hometown guru can roll away the stone at this point. But wouldn't it be a hoot if Kubiak decides to bow his neck up this off season ? I personally think it would be a mistake. But it'd be fun in here wouldn't it ? Hollywood John would absolutly lose his mind, lol.

I agree, that Carr has been almost totally picked clean by the poor coaching and management. The Texans took "a diamond in the rough" (hey that's vinny's line) and grinded him down to less than what he had the potential to be for us.
I hope its not too late...if not in Houston..then somewhere else. I will always be a big Carr fan...but I'm a also a bigger Texans fan. So I may be a Carr homer, but I'm a bigger Texans homer. That's why I keep buying season tickets.
 
yeah that was a good post. To be honest, if David Carr is able to start for another team and have great success, I wont be bitter at all. I will actually route for him. He has thrown himself out there and taken beatings for this team. I admire his heart and willingness to get better. I just think that Carr's confidence in a Texans uni is shot. I think if you put him in the right situation, perhaps a downfield passing style offense like st. louis's or cincy's, then he will thrive. Believe me, I wont be bitter to see him go on and have crazy success. He has been nothing but classy with the houston fans, so the least we can do is wish him the best of luck wherever he goes, even if he beats us with a 40 yd TD bomb in overtime.

They took the "diamond" and let it get hit it by several different hammers year after year and expected it to turn into flawless gem. If Carr is gone next year I hope he does well. I don't think he will move his family. I bet he stays a Houstonian now.

Wild men win in the NFL. Wild, unsown oats single men who play the game with reckless abandon. McNair wants a squeaky clean board room running an organization that competes week end and week out with Banditos and Hell Angels. The Dallas Cowboys are the epitome of how you build locker room swagger. You don't do it with nice married men who roll in to Church early every Sunday just like you wouldn't fight a war with those folks. The Dallas Cowboys game against the Texans should have been all the message McNair needed. They came out hunting heads, remember? 3 face mask penalties in the first 10 minutes. They won by the way. Nice wins in the boardroom McNair. Nice don't win **** on Sundays. McNair, give up your vision of what a Christian locker room should be and let the men be men. And don't have them lead by milkshake breath. Get a guy who'll date a floozy or two. Get some stones and swagger.
 
McNair can't run a team like a team should be run. He's got to go or we will suck forever. He's not the guy to run this team. He's obviously too well endowed and secure with his manhood. We need a guy with a little pee pee like Jerry Jones or Mark Cuban. Someone who needs to project his manliness through his team. I am semi-serious here by the way.
 
Hateful comment + redundant thread relating to small quote for which there is already a thread + really redundant topic = terrible post.
 
"Merry Christmas, David Carr, we think you suck, and we should know we play Madden Football, so that makes us like experts or something. We are wishing for a Christmas Miracle. Could you please turn into Vince Young? He's the reason for the season after all. " - Rambling thoughts of a VY jock sniffing Texans "fan"

His message sounds like "You should have drafted VY!"
 
lod01, Wonger, you guys have just turned into nothing but trolls on this board with your "broken record" posts full of hate. You're right that the Texans need to change quarterbacks but that's not even the point anymore. You can't let a simple thread like this about keeping things in perspective slide by without interjecting this ****. You need to step back and find some of that perspective yourselves because who do you think wants to talk to someone who's most insightful comment amounts to "Carr sucks! Worst QB Ever!". What is that mess? Eagles trolls add more to the discussion in here than you guys do with that kind of trash.

This board is on a slow slide into the toilet and it's posts like the ones in this thread from you two that are the reason for it.
