If you want to support a perennial loser, be my guest. There are more people in Houston who agree with me. How'd you like those empty seats at Reliant? Get used to it.

We've been a franchise for 4 years and we're already a perennial loser. You must have been watching the Arizona Cardinals over the years and have gotten confused.
 
The three year deal would be silly. Who cares what signal it sends? No need to nurse the guy, he's a man. If they want to keep him, fine. No reason to guarantee more money/years than necessary to keep him. If they wanna tie up 16-24 million in Carr, then they should put a little money in a realistic backup. See how he handles the competition, be ready in case he finally breaks down. Josh McCown is floating out there.

All this tells me is you never were a true fan in the first place. Have fun watching Steve Mcnair. Reports are he is about to sign a 3 year deal anyway and they may not take vince.
 
I hate to get involved in another VY thread.. but a question for the people who will leave if we dont get him.

Lets say someone else takes him..doesnt matter who. And you go become their fan.. what if VY breaks his leg and ends his career before it starts? Im not wishing any ill will on him or anything..but assume that did happen.

Are you going to come crawling back to the Texans? or will you remain teamless? or will you continue to follow the team that chose VY?

Im just trying to understand how someone would quit following their hometown team cause they didnt draft someone that you wanted them to.

Simple answer they would act like they never left. They were never fans in the first place they are the same people who dont stand and cheer at rockets games or who show up late and leave early at astros games.
 
Young isn't even the highest rated QB in the draft. Thats what cracks me up about the Young Fanatics. If yall truly believe we needed another qb, hey we have the #1 pick and should take the highest rated QB who ran a pro offense in college and is much much more pro ready than Young and dominated over his entire college career and had a better career record.

If anybodys loyalty rests with the acquisition of one player then they were truly never really a loyal fan to begin with. :ok:
 
I forgot that once a QB is marked "not good" he stays that way forever. I guess they are still waiting on Drew Brees and Jake Plummer to lead their teams to the playoffs. Oh wait.....

Well Brees went from mediocre to great in his third year starting and put up another great year in his fourth. Plummer showed a consistent ability to make plays/put up yards in Arizona, just made horrible decisions and had a lot of INTs. Gates seems to have solved whatever problems Brees had (or was it a #1 pick nipping at his heels), and Plummer had one major flaw to correct.

Carr is an entirely different situation, he got markedly worse from year 3 to year 4 (his momentum is going the wrong way) and has not looked comfortable in the pocket/held the ball for too long/hasn't shown the ability to "make" plays when things break down. Maybe a TE can fix all his problems, maybe a new coach can. But there have been more bad quarterbacks that stayed bad than had miraculous turnarounds a la Plummer.

Don't get it twisted, David Carr as "franchise QB" is a gamble; one that is now being stretched another 2-3 years and 16-24 million.

This isn't about feelings, it's about business value. No one will want to trade for Carr if they don't know what they are getting, not just in play on the field, but financially. If he is going to be traded to a team, it would be in their interest to know that he isn't simply going to hit free agency after his contract is up in another year...

not true, there are fans who feel really, really strongly about drafting vincent young. this offseason is a turning point of the franchise.

as for myself, if the texans pass on vy i will be devastated, and i really believe it would be a mistake we'd never ever forget. i would certianly be bitter towards the franchise. whether i would switch teams is not something i can predict, we'll see how it plays out. i've never once thought about switching teams in any sports before, and by looking at the teams i follow you can tell that i am certianly not a bandwagoner (rockets, astros, texans, longhorns, and then i also keep tabs on rice and u of h).
 
Ok all u ppl that think that David Carr is getting traded, should stop making threads and posting replies, because he isnt going anywhere, He is actually a good QB, he just needs an offensive line, once he gets one expect him in the pro bowl or u might see him leading the texans to their first ever playoff berth. I mean come on, he has shown his trust for the texans, getting sacked nearly 4000 times in his career (Im exaggurating) but u all get my point. He is a tough QB who is getting better as the team gets worse. so once the team gets better he will lead us to a Playoff berth, and u can print that.
 
Well, this is nothing new for Houston sports teams. I have been an Astros fan for years, and until last year, they have been a testament to futility. The Texans are on a collision course with futility as well.

It's going to be a sad, sad day.

On a liter note, anyone want to sell thier PSL?

:fans:

Agreed it's about business. 3 years might be the right thing if they intend to trade him, but if they're just playing it by ear and hoping he gets better, I think the two year deal makes more sense.
 
Well, it's good to go ahead and get it over with.

I hope I'm proven wrong and that David turns out to be what the Texans anticipated when they drafted him.

I understand trav but to me if you leave a team because they do not do what you want is sad. It reflects bandwagon fan to me thats just my thoughts. See you on tss.com I believe thats where you originated ;)
 
As Colonel Kurtz said in Apocalypse Now, "this is my dream, this is my nightmare."

I will be more than happy to have Carr as my QB. But it would be very extra special if Mike Sherman were at the podium introducing him with Kubiak. :spy:

...c'mon, Grid, you post like crazy--until the Texans went into the dumpster in '05 and were virtually a ghost until thr season was over with...
 
Guys, once this is signed, there will be no trade! It would cost us his entire signing bonus in dead cap money. The only way this is remotley possible is if the Jets franchise Abraham then trade him to us, alnog with the #4 and prob their second and third roundsfor DC and the #1, eating his cap money. I guess this would in a way negate some of the cap hit because we dont have to pay Abraham, but even DC would make more money as he is a QB. They better be damn sure VY could do the job, yet most people agree he would sit for a year. Who's going to be our QB then?
 
Good news. Now maybe the VY chatter will die down a little, i'm about tired of that BS. Agree or not, respect and support the team in whichever direction they go.

damn, your quick that article is dated like 5 min. ago. LOL

Am I the only one that thinks david carr will be the QB to lead the texans to their first playoff berth?(If the rest of the team gets better)
agree
 
Wordem said:
Good. Build him up and then trade him before the draft. Hello VY. Mark it down.


As what? Your fantasy? Vince Young is going elsewhere and this place is getting back to normal once his fanclub follows him to his new teams board.
 
Wow, that was quick. There goes another leg, chopped out from underneath the "conspiracy to smokescreen the entire league and draft Vince" argument. The funny thing is someone got verbose on us not re-signing Carr only earlier today (Big B, was that you?)

Getting a little shaky now?
 
Tsip you keep bringing up my lack of posts during the season..but every time i explain it to you, you shut up for a week or so till you can bring it up again.

Im not explaining it again. Get over it.. I was here..I never abandoned the team.. im not a fairweather fan..i read the board every day... i already explained my whole freakin daily routine during the season in another thread. Im tired of your bull**** accusations.

get...over...it.
