Carr OR HARRINGTON

[HoustonLionsFan]

first team in NFL history to use 3 1st round picks in the last 3 years to draft at WR. Harrington better show something!

Absolutely

Well since it will take Joey 3 1st round WRs to even come close to Carr, then good luck to you too.

Well, if either of the past two could have stayed healthy for more than 6 games (CR- 6 games in 2 season, RW- Healthy for ~6 games last season)....How many games has AJ been injured in 2 seasons? Bradford? Gaffney? Probably help if you read my long post, but then again, you wouldn't be able to 'prove' your point if you had. Actually, sounds more like an early excuse to me

Again, not saying who is better, but I am objective. I think Carr gets a slight edge, but not as much as many of you would like to believe

what gets me about the lions.. is what do they do in about 3 or 4 years?... They are developing WR's for another team right now.. being they aren't going to be able to pay these guys.. Just alot of money put up for 3 at the same position...

Unless Rogers' injury is worse than I am hearing about

but we would love to take the Texas boy back to Texas in about 3 to 4 years

BTW.. I am not saying Carr is better or Worse than the piano man.. but I'd like to see Carr run an offense with those studs at WR

I kinda feel the same way, if these guys turn out to be as good as I feel they will be. There is no way we will be able to afford all of them. On the up-side though, its pretty easy to trade talented players!! As far as your "likeing to see Carr with these guys, Joey would like to see how that would feel too! Go Lions!!

Yeah, there are alot of Lions fans singing that tune right now too. But CR and RW are under contract for 4 more years, and MW will probably sign a 5-6 yr deal. IMO, this means they will probably only keep RW OR CR, not both. Unless one ends up not being as great as the hype (hopefully CR). But, maybe winning will cure all that ails. Ok, I can't even say that wwith a straight face.

I don't think CR's injury is more serious than is reported, I think it is more a concern over injury period. I mean CR injured 2 seasons and superman, I mean Roy hurt an ankle in game 6 and that was the season. Lions had no depth at WR (Hakim was hurt for several games too, starting about game 8). I think the Lions were going to wait to take a WR, but when MW was there they just couldn't pass on it.

And I can't wait to see what Joey can do with these WR's. One way or another it will end the nonstop QB debate in Det (and maybe Houston, lol)

How would it end the QB debate in Houston involving Carr and Harrington?

Hey Barryfan20 keep telling yourself Garcia was JUST brought in to backup Bloey.

Last year our back up was Mike Mcmahon, personally I really liked him alot. Great mobility, strong arm, great attitude. I knew he would not remain a lion, and feel he will be great for phi. The lions were looking for someone with experience, winning experience, and Garcia has a proven winning record. In my opinion, the lions want joey to have some competition, and learn from a west coast guy who's won and has mastered the system. If Harrington does not show that he can take his game to the next level this year, meaning 4 or 5 games into the season, he will be replaced! I have faith that Joey is the QB of the lions future and like Carr will be a hall of famer one day! Hey, I can dream if I want too!!! Go Lions!!

will this thread ever end? i don't care about joey harrington, and i'd think and probably accurately predict that most texans don't care about harrington. it's like apples and oranges. carr went to an expansion team and harrington went to a team thats been around for a long time. who should have played better? harrington who has played better? carr

 

[TexanExile]

Heh...for some folks, it'll end when either Harrington or Carr is out of a starting job. This is like the "Fire Capers! Fire Palmer!" threads on Sunday afternoons...regular as clockwork. Had Ryan Leaf not flamed out, Colts fans would be dealing with a similar debate all the time.

3 years in:
TD'S Harrington 48 Carr 34
Completions Harrington 798 Carr 685
Harrington also has more yards, I need that formula you're using to say that Carr has played better.

Wow, nice selection of stats there. Harrington has a whopping 100 more yards--think that has anything to do with the two less games Carr has played in?--and by the way Carr had almost 500 yds more last year. Harrington has 110 more completions--well, duh--he has only attempted 270 more passes. Harrington does have more TD's, but then again he has 8 more INT's too. How about--completion %--61.2% Carr, 56 % Harrington (in an offense designed to have a high completion %); ypa--7.58 Carr, 6.23 Harrington; QB rating--83.5 Carr, 77.5 Harrington. Carr has also rushed for more yards in two different seasons than Harrington has rushed for his whole career. This while Carr has been sacked 140 times and Harrington 53 times.

you know, it's funny how everyone views things differently, when I posted this thread, the "expansion team" vs the "established franchise team" never crossed my mind. Actually, I feel our teams have alot in common, both young, good QBs, and improving defenses. Carr and Harrington have a alot in common also, both in there 4th year, both, have niether proven if they can meet the expectations, and both feel this pressure of these expectations! Both are pretty close stat's wise, and have similar style's. Anyway, I appreciate everyones opinions!! On another note your new DT is quite a story, really great that he has overcome some tough issues in his young life. He should be an impact player from day 1. Go Lions!!

Do you know what this tells me?

Exactly what I said earlier, Joey had a better Line and Carr had better weapons. No more, no less.
