Troy Aikman nor John Elway nor many other great quarterbacks have put the blame on their offensive lines for lack of protection when it was obvious their respective teams were struggling in protecting these quarterbacks. These guys are hall of famers because they were difference makers for their respective teams even under adverse conditions... and rose above potential failure because they took it upon themselves to find ways of helping their teams win despite their teams' weaknesses. Keep making the excuses for David Carr and that will allow him to keep making all those same excuses for himself about his poor play. When he takes the snap, count how many seconds he holds the ball for. Watch his head and see if he goes through his progressions quickly or just stares down a receiver. Watch his footwork in the pocket and whether or not he senses the pressure and knows where he needs to move to avoid it. Check out the ratings on Peyton Manning's offensive line... not all Pro Bowl material and Peyton's not fleet of foot... yet he manages to adjust to pocket pressure and put the ball in the right place the majority of the time. Is he a freak of nature? Not really. He just has a great understanding of the game itself and how it should be played if you want to be successful. He's got a great arm but more importantly he's got a great head on his shoulders. I couldn't process a tenth as good as he does... but it's what all the great quarterbacks have the ability to do. Wait until they get Vince Young some receivers in Tennessee. He's very accurate and his decision making going to get better and better... and let's see... how many games has he started in the NFL? You know what's so special about Vince? Not his strong arm, his unbelievably fast elusive feet, but his undaunted confidence and his relentless work ethic. I say we've got a better overall team than the Titans and yet they're 7-7 and we're 4-10 because of having an obvious difference maker at the helm. It's embarrassing that we lost both games to the Titans and yet, you can ask all my friends and family. I predicted it would go down that way before the season ever started. I, for one, don't want to say anything more about this because of the bad taste it leaves in my mouth.
so i will just say the better carr does it will give our defense time to rest so they may have more energy to get sacks on D
did i clean that up? GO TEXANS
