I, personally, after watching what he did with Plummer in Denver, believe he can instill a winning attitude. He wasn't perfect with Plummer, but he certainly turned his game around. With work, knowledge, and a good supporting cast.
the situation, is totally different......
Jake showed hints of talent all the while he was in Arizona..... if you watched his games, if you watched him play, you could see the guy had what it takes to win... Jake has/had it, and it was always obvious.
with David, we have to build a probowl team around him before we can even see if he has it??
Can we win with David?? I'm sure we can...... can David throw for 4000 yards in '06?? with Molds, Andre, Putz, Cook, DD, and all the other guys fighting to be our #3 reciever, I'm expecting him to at least go over 3500.... I'm pretty sure I could.
Is it all Capers fault?? that's the main thing I'm arguing here...... Mostly, maybe.. But David is a Pro making plenty of money, he could have found many was to improve his game(it wasn't a secret that he's been underperforming for some time now)...... He's supposed to be good friends with his Idol Trent Dilfer.... he could have worked out with him some time...... He could've asked Mathis(who also needed to work) Armstrong(who also needed work) Andre, Gaffney, Bradford(who also needed the work) to work out with him before the season...... After the season....... after practice... he could have gone back to Fresno state and work with people he knows..... I don't know, but there are a lot of things he could've done to be better.....
but in '05........ even if you take away all the sacks, all the losses, (which I'm not blaming on him), he played poorly. As poorly as McKinney did at Center...... As poorly as Wiegart at Right Gaurd, as Poorly as Buchannon at Corner, Coleman at safety........ ok, maybe not that bad. But David Carr performed badly.......
Some of the blame...... coaching of course.
And all this talk about David being the ultimate team player, and conforming to whatever Capers had envisioned........ well that's just plain stupid. If I get fired, cut from the team, whatever......... because I'm trying to win games, then so be it. I will butt heads with the coach, and call an audible, a hot route, or a blocking scheme if I feel the coach is out of touch, or incometent.
Yeah, I might end up with T.O.s reputation, but when I do get picked up by my next team....... and if David is as talented and as good a guy as you all think he is, then he will be picked up...... I will work my butt off to prove that I need to be starting...... even if that means sitting on the bench behind Michael Vick(which would drive any QB worth his salt crazy) for two years......
I personally don't want a QB that is good enough......... like Dilfer, or Johnson. & I don't want a QB who stays, because he's got a good thing going, and doesn't want to rock the boat, when he knows the boat is sinking.
