Yes and no. What you are not considering is how many times Harrington and Couch were pulled. Everyone know that Harrington always finds himself on the bench because he stinks it up so he isnt on the field to get the attempts to get anything higher than something around 3,000. I bet Harrington if Harrington was never pulled, like Carr, he'd get his yardage more comparable to Carr. Not sure about Couch, cant remember, but I think he was benched quite a few times too while he was playing, too.Coach C. said:Huge difference between 3000 and 3500. Second are you honestly trying to say that it is Carr calling the hitch routes.
1) The running game won the Arizona game for us.Coach C. said:First, We won the Arizona game he saw a weakness and called to exploit it. He also audibled to runs to keep the guys honest. Second, Carr was not pulled because he performed as well as he could in the situations he was put in. Third, he had a better qb rating than these guys.
Fiddy said:I didnt ignore last season but dont talk to me about his completion percentage or anything like that because all he did was throw hitch routes with a quick slant mixed in there every now and then.
Yeah, now that I read it, it sounds funny. He did go deeper a year ago. That statement was meant for this year.edo783 said:Interesting revision of history. He threw for over 3,500 yards last year of which 47 passes were over 20 yards in completion, his completion percentage and passer rating were better than Tom Brady's. Now if you had said that about this year...then ya, that's pretty much it. He had only 18 passes of 20 yards, but that was pretty much how our CRACK coaching staff layed out the game plan.
Coach CCoach C. said:LCOOL if you quote McClain that brings down the crediblility of your post. Other than that Carr has led comebacks the main one that comes to mind is Minnesota, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Baltimore, and Cleveland. Those come to mind. Check them he led us back late in the game, until someone screwed it up.
Coach C. said:Next argument?
Hulk75 said:Obviously you have not been watching Carr the last couple of weeks. Or for that mater last year. Or for that mater when he was in college, dont bring up touch bro he went #1 for a reason.

Fiddy said:Huh????
You do put up less that 2500 the next year doing it. And do you know what Couch, Harrington and Carr all have in common??? They all had a 3000+ passing yardage season in their 3rd year and followed it up with a stinker. A "senior slump"???
the wonger need food said:Obviously YOU haven't been watching Carr the last 25 games. He has regressed trememdously and is probably a worse QB than he was his rookie season.
He was a #1 pick because there weren't any other options in '02.
The good news is, he will be out of excuses after next season under Kubiak. There will plenty on this board that will apologize for him until the day he retires, but they will finally be in the minority.
HoustonFrog said:I'm with you bro. The guy is dumb as rocks, makes rookie mistakes, is not the teams leader on the field or in the locker room and pretty much cares more about his hair and commercials. When ESPN spends half their Sunday night telecast laughing at you and waiting for your next interception because you haven't learned to look off receivers in Year #4, then you are a joke. People kissing up to this guy is just plain funny. Always excuses. As I said yesterday, Brady sure did well taking the place of an often sacked Bledsoe when he first started. some guys have presence and others are just bad QBs who whine.
Most of us are aware of his lack of leadership skills. Where have you been for the last 4 years?DomDavis said:he's not the leader on the field or the locker room? I don't think you're in any position to comment on that unless you're actually on the field or in the lockerroom.

he cares more about hair and commercials? again, evidence please.
he doesn't look off receivers? again, evidence please. all quarterbacks have a few throws each year where they do that, even Peyton Manning. it doesn't show up on a consistent basis, as Carr's INT ratio isn't all that high. Also, comparing the line New England had to the Texans line is just hilarious... you're talking about a subpar offensive line compared to the worst line in the history of the sport. big difference.
some posters have common sense and others just whine and rant about things they're in no position to have any knowledge about.

See, you see all 68 sacks as fault of poor o-line play. I see a good amount of those sacks on bad recognition and pocket awareness by Carr. He sacks himself a lot...Hulk75 said:68 sacks!!!!!!!!!!!! Fired Palmer, got some lame duck coach to run our Offense.
A O-Line coach for that mater that told David to get the ball out as fast as he could so the sacks would not look like it is the Olines fault but the QBs, stupidity from a guy how should never be allowed to run an O again, but heck coaching does not mater right.
Rogers and Roy Williams can't stay healty and Mike Williams was out of football for a year. How can he use those??? The only difference between Carr and Harrington is Harrington will get benched when he sucks it up and Carr won't.New_Texans said:Never compare Harrington with Carr...Harrington has a line, TE, and WRs and yet hes horrible.
