One last thing: Two of you have called me "stupid," and have said that I don't have a right to my opinion because I am not a coach or exec or whatever. Who are YOU? We all have opinions--this is what the board is for--so I suggest you re-read the sticky on BEHAVIOR so that you will see that we should all try and stay on-topicinstead of resorting to name-calling.
Of course, one of the surest signs that a guy knows he's losing the argument is that he no longer engages in the actual battle that's held withing the arena of ideas....he resorts to NAME CALLING.
What's next guys? Telling me mama's fat? I guess some people never leave junior high.
I've repectfully said that I don't think Brady Carr is what he's been made out to be. I don't resort to saying that people are stupid if they don't agree with me. You can infer it all you want, but I don't come and say "You're stupid for liking Brady Quinn."
I have my opinion, and it counts as much as yours--Zero.
So let's get on with exchanging these ideas, OK?
Tell me how Brady Quinn can finish what you guys say David Carr couldn't. Tell me how. I'd like to know.
Cuz at the end of the day, the two guys are mirror images of one another:
1.) Looks great.
2.) Works out great.
3.) Has a great work ethic.
Nobody here has excused David Carr for his lack of game-changing ability just because he can do all of those three things I just mentioned. So tell me why we'll let ANOTHER version of the same player to come here and be "the man" when he's proven that he does not have it within him to make everyone around him better...or to even just take the whole SEASON onto his shoulders like VY did. VY took that team over, and said "Just enjoy the ride." And he came through. UT had a great defense, and you guys are saying that Brady Quinn did NOT have a great defense to help him out...well, guess what: We don't have a great defense, either. So how does Brady do for us what he cannot do for ND?
You're on the clock, unless you want to take pot shots at me some more. I'm asking for EVIDENCE. I'm asking for ideas. I'm asking for thoughts and feelings. I'm asking for (GASP!) opinions.
All I see is pot shots at me.
Brady Quinn is not this team's answer to the QB problem.
My post was deleted but I am one of the people who called you stupid, not for having an opinion but for the opinion you expressed. Yeah ok the mods were not happy I called you that but oh well worse has been said on this board and not deleted. You said
>> Good Looking
>> works out great
>> Great Work ethic
You were saying that you do not want Quinn because he woud be another Carr. Seriously, I thought that is what you look for in a QB Work Ethic and Great Workouts? Do you want someone who does not have any of that? Jerry Rice became the greatest WR ever because of his work thic, Carlos Rogers is where now because of his work ethic? Of course I am not talking about looks but from a few posters that is becoming a huge issue about BQ because he is a so-called "pretty boy". Are yall affraid if Brady comes to Houston he will take your girl? His looks have nothing to do with how good a QB is, it is the physical tools, mental learning ability, and the drive to have a strong work ethic to always get better.
Honestly, no one will be able to argue with you because no matter who the Texans draft it will not be VY. Granted Carr has not worked out but there are many factors to why that is .... Bad Coaching, bad drafts by a GM and his own inability to learn Kubiaks system. By your whole argument they look like one another, you would not want Peyton Manning if he has in the draft because he is not VY and since the organization made a mistake (in somes opinon) by not drafting him they should never take another QB that works out great and has a strong work ethic. Maybe it would be ok if he was uglier than Phyllis Diller

You are way to hung up on the looks of Brady Quinn and David Carr.
