What is really curious is that nearly all of the David Carr bashers who frequent here claim to be fans of the team, even going so far as to put a reference to the team in their nick. Throughout the off-season while they insisted that Carr was the single biggest reason the franchise had a losing record and the bane of the state they would often preference the rant about him with, "I hope he can turn it around..." or "I'm a Texans fan and want to see him do well but..."
I've never made the claim that Carr is flawless. Not then and not now. Like many others I'd like to see him become more of an emotional leader, but that just may not be the way he is wired. Some here went as far as to say that Carr had "lost the locker room" and one even made the ridiculous assertion that "his teammates don't listen to him in the huddle." What always seems to be missing is how they know this. Then of course the players voted him and Andre Johnson offensive co-captains. That must have chapped some of you. Throughout the off-season I repeatedly posted on here that now that Carr has improved coaching, as in someone who actually played the position coaching him, and better weapons - Gaffney & Bradford are not even in the league today - his performance should improve. Guess what it has.
Even if you can not bear the thought that our starting quarterback is the league's #1 rated passer and want to scoff at the rating - and admittedly it can be misleading - his TD/INT ratio, which has improved going on 3 years now, and yards per attempt avg. speak for themselves.
Nothing misleading there. It is parts laughable and sad that some of you just can't bring yourself to support our quarterback. What are you going to do if/when he goes to his first Pro Bowl? Disown the team? When the line cuts the sacks - still on pace for 60 - he will be in Hawaii. Mark it down. Charles Spencer was a good, potentially great draft pick. When the right side of the line becomes solidified the sky will be the limit. Must keep some of you up at night...how sad. C'mon stop hatin' and start participatin' ...our passing game, ie quarterback is one of the bright spots of a 1-3 start.....oh wait..that is Carr's fault...
