David Carr

"Step 1"
Hate to bring this up... but i just relized that even though hes not starting, hes going to the superbowl..

and has the oppurtunity to earn a ring from the sideline.....:smiliepalm:

did he even start a game this year for the giants?
 
Yeah, he's a palooka. A few jobbers on Jordan's NBA Championship teams also got rings. Same goes for David Carr if he "gets a ring" in two weeks.

I don't hate it that he might get one, for one simple reason: He's not a factor in their success. Yeah, he can say he has a ring...but it was Eli at the wheel. Not David.

I don't hold animosity toward David Carr. Ultimately, it was our owner who drafted him and stuck with him that first Kubiak year. He was just doing what he could do, and it didn't work out.

I didn't care for his snarky comments (jabs at the Texans) when he landed with the Panthers, so that's a minor quibble I hold onto.
 
If Carr can get a ring a decade into his sorry career...hat's off to him. How he sticks on the bottom of rosters is amazing. Dude's obviously got a talent, unfortunately for us, it wasn't for playing the QB position.
 
Well, he's already got a ring from being on the Giants in 2008.

And to answer the other question, no, he hasn't taken a snap all season.

Please check your facts first... David Carr does NOT have a ring with the NY Giants.. He joined the team in 2008 after they had already won it...
If he wins it this season, good for him.. I have no ill will towards the man..he just didn't work out here..I moved on !

Agreed. Carr came here confident and ready to take on the world. A Swiss-cheese offensive line made him the hardest hit QB in football and for two straight years the most sacked. The man became so damned gun shy that he became USELESS as a starting QB.
If he's backing up Eli Manning and gets a superbowl ring out of it more power to the muff-hugga. I never had anything against him and I aint mad at him.

Man, Carr created at least half of those sacks he took. The line didn't turn David into a bad QB. He just never was a NFL caliber guy.

Dude looked good in a Texans uniform. Great picture for a 3D souvenir soda cup, as well a a bunch of inaugural posters and other crass merchandise to pimp...errr...market to a bunch of hungry NFL fans in Houston.

Dude admitted that he was the last to arrive and first to leave practices. Eventually even fessed up to not studying game film or taking his career seriously. These are not the fundamental qualities of a QB destined for greatness, no matter how many flimsy reasons are made up to justify his eternal suckiness. A cook cannot overcome the taste of bad ingredients, no matter how much pepper he unloads into the recipe.

Yeah, that offensive line 'broke' him...NOT. Just another long line of empty excuses perpetuated by those that refuse to cash the reality check. The fact of the matter was that David Carr's best potential was to be a Trent Dilfer-type QB if he had applied himself and was drafted by a team that would sit him on the bench to ferment for a few seasons until he was ripe enough to be a so-called "game manager".

I don't hate the dude, but I'm not going to wear blinders to the fact that his true potential - if fully realized - was destined to be a mediocre QB.

His career arch has proven this reality. No player is 'broke' unless they are physically unable to perform. That is not the case with Carr. His problem is between his ears and his lack of heart. He's content to be a career backup, looking good in camp as an extra arm to help with 3RD and 4TH string receivers. God forbid if Eli goes down and David Carr is taking snaps in a Super Bowl.
 
So I'm watching Alex Smith playing in the NFC Championship game & I'm thinking......
 
Eli gets injured 2nd play of game (Albert goes nutso and runs onto the field wearing only a thong and lands on mini-Manning's foot).

Carr needs to go in.

THEN he has the opportunity to win a ring.

:spit:

Seriously though man, you ever see a guy take a haircut like that in your life? EVER?

Me either. In a barbers chair about to celebrate two wins in a row he's literally the best in the game with that million dollar smile.

Personally, I would be happy for David Carr and his family IF this were to happen, same as I'll be happy for Hookum and Hobie!

Never understood all the hate toward DC. This franchise put a boat load of crap on the shoulders of a young man who didn't know how to handle it. Just because he didn't turn out to be a Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rogers, or any other "elite" QB, does not warrent the hate tag some of you put on him. JMO! He ALONE did not set this franchise back nine years!! Not trying to start ANOTHER thread on the pro's and con's of DCs years with us, so I will not respond to any argumenative comments. We've certainly had enough of those over the years. Just stating that I will be happy for him if he gets to celebrate with the Giants. Nothing more, nothing less! Life's to short to hate on a football player who didn't turn out to be what we wanted him to be. Happens ALL THE TIME!!
 
I'll be ecstatic for Carr because all the hate for him should just die and that would give him a psychological advantage over Houston for being a winner now. They play for Rings and that is what will make Carr a winner if the Giants were to win. I know it would just eat some people up alive to see David with his first ever ring prior to the Texans and I would love to see that occur and laugh if it does. Enough is enough with the Carr hate already. Do I smell venom and jealously towards Carr? Yes. I think it is time to dispose and ditch the hate and move on because Carr has done so. Now I really do hope the Giants win the game and I mean that sincerely too.
 
I don't hate the guy. I'm ambivalent about him as a person.

But, as a Texans fan, he was part of the problem when he was here. He admits that he did not apply himself to being a better QB, did not even try to show leadership, was the last to arrive and first to leave practices, and never learned how to study defenses and break down game film. He admitted this stuff, so it's not even speculative.

As a fanatic of the Houston Texans, I'm going to protect my team. And David Carr was a slacker, someone who took the money and ran with it, and never had any desire to be anything other than a mediocre career-backup QB.

Not hate, just being pragmatic about our team's history.

I could care less if he gets a ring or not. I'm rooting for the Patriots, but I'm not investing any emotion in the outcome of the game. I'm a Texans fan, and our 2011 season is over, so the Super Bowl just interests me as an NFL fan.

Yep ... and it only took passing on multiple young QBs to figure it all out .
 
Carr might have admitted his own faults but people grow up and change I just think it is time to move on.
 
We've moved on, Gary. David Carr is just another memory to most Texans fans.

You said some wish he would die and it's eating some folks alive, but who? Reading this current thread, I just don't see it. Terms like venom and jealously just seem like hyperbole. I guess since I'm not ecstatic about David Carr, I'm unable to read between the lines of it all.

Yeah, he's the butt of jokes in Texansland. He earned that much. But, do not confuse sarcasm and cynicism with hate, because that's just an incorrect assumption, man. :)

There have been many Carr threads posted on here over the years which shows that some would just like to continuously post about him to date. If he wins a ring then he wins ring. So what?
 
I think carr has vastly improved has a qb i watched him abit in frisco even tho he got treated bad there and in ny hes played good

U know what hes famous now breaking out of the pocket and running and he always tries to leap over the tackle lol

I don't hate the guy, but I understand it. The perception is that he didn't try very hard, that he didn't care very much, that he was like all the "vets" we were bringing in.... just here for the paycheck.

In my opinion, that changed when we got Demeco.
 
I actually have never hated Carr! He was put in a position that really no one could win! I hope he gets a ring! I still believe we helped ruin him! I am rooting for the giants cuz I like Eli!
 
I am going to have to be honest. David Carr ranks up there with Dallas. Who gives a flying *******?

He is a backup and who gives a crap about the backup?
 
I think that David Carr started out with the Texans as a very enthusiastic and dedicated young quarterback who loved his young team. He tried very hard to win games while facing defensive players charging through the O-line licking their chops knowing that yet another sack was within seconds. Finally, IMO he was burned out far too early in his career, and seemed to have never gotten the confidence or will back to emerge into another starting position.

If his team wins the championship next week, I can smile for him and my only wish is if he could have been on a different team, smiles.
 
Sorry, no sense in bringing up the old arguments...... or laying blame.

What's done is done, time to move forward. The Texans are winners...

:texan:
 
Glad for him. I harbor no hard feeling for him and wish him well. Nice kid, just not a starting NFL QB.

I really don't think the Patriots can beat the Giants. The Pats D has stepped it up in the play-offs, I don't think it's going to be easy, or a route, but I think the Giants are going to win this.
 
Is it just me, or does Mr. Mittens remind anyone else of Speed Racer?

I don't know if that's been hashed and rehashed but it's always been something I've thought in the back of my head.

Wish I could shake it cuz I always loved Speed Racer....
