Yes, fellow Texans, I bring to you the umptillionth Carr thread. This time, it deals with his back-up position in Carolina and obvious smack talking of us.

And I thought ESPN was bad....
1. David Carr, Carolina
This could wind up being one of the best off-season acquisitions. In 2002, Carr was the first pick of the draft. Five years later, Carolina signs him as a free agent. Wow. If the guy is anything close to what Houston envisioned five years ago, the Panthers can send Bob McNair a thank-you note. What I like about Carr is that he has a strong arm, hangs tough in the pocket and is resilient. What I don't like is that he hasn't won or put up big numbers. But as one scout said, "You can't blame him for the system. The poor guy got killed in Houston. Hey, David Carr hasn't forgotten how to play football."
Roger and out. When the Texans assembled their franchise, they forgot that offensive lines were meant to protect quarterbacks. Instead, they called together a bunch of matadors, lined them up for the next set of bull rushers and -- Ole! Just like that -- Carr went from quarterback to tackling dummy. In five years, he was sacked 249 times, including an NFL-record 76 in 2002 and 68 in 2005. Maybe that had an irreparable impact on the guy, I don't know. What I do know is I'd like to find out. So Carr is in Carolina where the offensive line is better and where he can sit behind Jake Delhomme, catch his breath and not worry about being the franchise quarterback. My guess? This is Carolina's future starter.
