That he doesn't slag his teammates is a football issue.
I know Captain Obvious should be saying this but here goes:
Football is a team sport.
What rookie would have done well with this scheme, a offensive line with people playing outta position and learning the position on the fly, and all baby receivers, running backs, and most of the tight ends?
As you can tell with what has been said at camp, having veteran leadership really helps player development. We haven't had much of any of that--veterans on the offensive side of the ball that have had success in the league.

Here is the deal with all the Carr supporters, they believe Carr hasn't performed because everyone else around him didn't. Therefore, Carr is a good quarterback and should keep his job. No one will argue the talent issue on the offensive line and quality receivers outside of AJ, but it is possible Carr was more of the problem than just being held back.
For example, here is quote about McNair learning the new Ravens system,
"A confused quarterback is usually confronted with a barrage of blitzes. If he's confused about protections, that's when he's going to get whacked," Fassel said.
Apply this quote to Carr's sack problems and think about it. Carr could have really contributed more to the sack problem, basically overwhelming an already talent thin line.
Here is Kubiak's own words on Carr following the conclusion of their mini camp.
"I think he's the most improved player from this offseason," Kubiak said. "From the day we walked out here until today, I really thought he was the most improved. Yet he still has a long way to go.
"The key to David, like any other player and I've already spent a ton of time with him David's got to come back and pick up right where he left off. We can't go back and work on things that we were trying to clean up. Nobody's worked harder."
Not exactly a ringing order of endorsement for our 4-year QB veteren. Kind of sounds like he may be fighting for his job early in the season if he doesn't start off well.
So, Texans_Chick, from your post, I take that we basically have a rookie quarterback in Carr.
