Wow, that's less than 2 sacks per game. You sure are optimistic. Hope you are correct.keyfro said:is it possible...sure...is it likely...no...i think a good season stat for carr would be around 3600+yds with around 28tds and 10ints...but here's the key to all of that...absolutely no more than 30 sacks this season for carr

Meloy said:Is it possible for Carr to pass for 5 000 yds? With AJ, Moulds (?) DD, Bush(?), Putzier and Walters available. These guys do not drop many and I think DC will go crazy. I know Kubes likes to run, but man these guys can be some horses! Ideas?

Ibar_Harry said:Everyone is painting Kubiak a certain way, but if you remember he has said he will do in effect what seems to be right. If we need to pass to win that's what we will do. If we need to run to win that's what we will do. The Texan's offense has the potential to be right up there with the rest of them. We will just have to see how it comes together.
dalemurphy said:Assuming he stays healthy, I would expect about 4000yds: 250 yds per game. Man, I'm excited about the season now!!!
NRowl said:5,000 yards is too high to be even a possibility in my book. The most passing yards by a qb last regular season was only 4110. With Kube's run first system and splitting carries between DD and Bush(?) I would be very happy if Carr were able to even come close to 4000. If Carr gets a new season high for his career (current best is 3531 in 2003) it should end all the debate of if he is the future or not. I am not a huge Carr fan but I will surely be rooting for him!
LBblitz said:5,000 is a little much, I think if everything goes right it will be between 3,700 and 4,200 IF that. Hopefully we wont have to air it out at the end of the games playing catch-up and just run the clock out to seal the win...
edo783 said:People, get a grip! This is a 2-14 team. We have improved, but 5K yards??? Now some of this seems to be coming from the VY crowd to set unreasonable expectations so that they can say "See I told ya he sucked, didn't get 4K yards and 30 TDs" or some other clap trap. For this club, coming off the season we have and the improvements we have made and the type of offense we will likely run....3,500 yards would be a strong season with 20-22TDs passing sounds do able and about right. This team will likely win 6-8 games this year. The 07 season though MAY see a playoff spot if we improve as much as we SEEM to perhaps have this year.
Thank you.STEEL BLUE TEXANS said:I think some of you are getting a little carried away. 5000 yards? Get real folks.
Dr. Toro said:Okay, this is absolutely insane. 5,000 yards. Marino's the only guy to have done it. Carr's gonna do it in a run first offense.
Blame all the people you want, but it took him 8 games this year to get a 200 yard passing game. He threw for 300 yds 0 times this year on a team that was perpetually trailing. Say what you want about the new offensive coaching, but if this team is successful he probably won't have many more attempts than in years past. 27 attempts per game this year. 5.88 ypa. 2500 yards. He's gonna double that right. He's gonna average 312.5 yards having only thrown for 300 yards thrice in his NFL career.
Indy had 5800 yards total last year.
TreWardTxn said:No he won't throw for 5K or even 4K and we shouldn't want him to. If he racks up that kind of yards it only means two things, no running game, and the team was so far behind early that the only option was to pass, I'll skip that stat action. 38 Hun should be about the top edge in yards that anyone should expect out of Carr and 3200-3500 with a top TD/int ratio would be ideal in my eyes. Let's control the ground game...

Kaiser Toro said:I could think of over a 100 Qb's that I think could do it before bringing up Carr. Do I still think he coud do it? Nope.
By the way it has only been done once:
Most Yards Gained, Season
5,084 Dan Marino, Miami, 1984
4,830 Kurt Warner, St. Louis, 2001
4,802 Dan Fouts, San Diego, 1981

TexanFan881 said:To basically answer the question, no it's not possible. Let's get realistic: 5,000 yards has only been done by Dan Marino. Now just because we have some great targets for David Carr doesn't mean he can go from zero to hero. It would be stupid to even compare Dan Marino and David Carr. We had a below average offense last year and we added a couple key players this year, but the only way David gets close to 5,000 yards is if we pass the entire game each week. Asking for 5,000 yards from David is like asking for a rushing record from Bush while splitting carries with Davis in his first year.
run-david-run said:Lets not forgett, Kubes is a QB! Im sure that if he wakes up one Sunday morning and says "heck, I've got two Pro-Bowl wide receivers, lets go crazy!", Carr would have to opportunity to put up big numbers. I think that 5000 is a little bit too far, but with the skill players we now have (counting Moulds), anything is possible.
Anyway, for the upcoming season Im going with 3800-4200 yards, 27 TD's and 8 INT's, bassically Jake PLummer. I think that if we continue having offseason's of this quality, we could see a far differant team in the next four years then we've seen the last four.

HJam72 said:Yeah, cuz David can run too.
5000 yds. passing.
1000 yds. scrambling.
