May be some of these guys will get their wish and so will Carr. There are a lot of rumors and denials from Pat Hill that he is going to be interviewed by Al Davis for the Oakland job. Pat is constantly denying it, but you never know. I would bet that if AL signed Pat they would probably try to pick up David. Moss is a far better AJ and it could get real interesting. All I know is in the 1 qtr Carr called his own plays we scored a record number of points for the franchise in a qtr. Was is it a fluke? I don't think so. I think our coaching staff had no idea of what they were doing with play calling. We know the team was also into it when Carr was calling the plays. After that, he wasn't allowed to call his plays. Again, I ask why?
We are in a very difficult position as a result of Capers going with an older vetern defense to begin the Texans regime. When that aged defense decentagrated we were left with what we have. We need offense linemen and we need defensive players. We don't have enough draft picks to pick up what we need. No, question Bush is the best pick now for us despite all the Young talk, but I don't believe Bush has declared yet. Another comment would be, how many running QB's from Nebraska made it in the NFL? Very few if any QB's in the NFL are know for their running game. That kind of investment just can't survive the hits in the NFL long term. Isn't the average life span of an NFL back less than 5 years? I thought it was 3, but I'm uncertain of that number.
Now their have been exceptions, but most have used their abilities to scramble as opposed to being running QB's. Certainly Vick and Tarkington would be classified in that group. In some ways Tarkington has been more successful than Vick, because Fran was a heck of a passer and could run for his life if he had too. Fran made it to the SB on more than 1 occasion. Anyway, just some more food for thought.
