David Carr the best thing for the Texans?

Who gives a crap that he has a ring he didn't earn? The Seahawks K, P, and LS have rings too. At least they got on the field and earned theirs.

Well, he earned the right to be on the team. Have to give him that.

He beat out other players to be there.
 
I think 'fault' lies with both the franchise and the player.

Rookie QB thrown to the wolves behind a Swiss cheese line without a dedicated quarterback coach.

Rookie QB with a poor work ethic that did not understand how to study the game.

I have no hard feelings about David Carr. Speculation will always be in our fanbase regarding his potential and how he would have done on an established team. But, dude got paid - one estimate was over $60 million as a Houston Texan - so it is what it is at this point.

In the end, let's just blame Charlie Casserly. He's a jackass and deserves all of it. :fingergun:
 
If I recall chris palmer was his offensive coordinator in 2002

. Which he also was his qb coach in 2007


Hindsight I always wondered why capers didnt put in Tony banks in. Just to save Carr from the pummeling but also help him see how banks ran the Texans offense. Just to get some game film. However whe. You are shelling g out so much money on a rookie. It seems he had better be starting

I honestly think it was more a marketing decision. Carr, with his chiseled chin and all-American looks, made the Texans uniform look good.

yeah, it's a jaded perspective, but the decision to start rookie Carr never made much sense from a football strategy pov.

19-10 set our expectations too high, as well.

Palmer was his OC 2002-5 with the Texans.

They were reunited 2008-9 with the Giants. Carr was in Carolina for 2007 while Palmer was in his 1st season with the Giants. So Carr knew Palmer was the QB coach when he joined the Giants and it was reported Palmer was recruiting him. Kind of makes you think Carr didn't blame Palmer for anything that happened with the Texans.

It was reported their intention was to start Banks for part of the season but they decided Carr had won the job from Banks in TC.
 
David Carr was out first draft pick ever, and that was a terrible decision. He was not prepared to come to this team and the team was not ready to start a rookie quarterback... not even close. It sucks and probably set this team back further than it needed to be.

That being said... when are we going to stop opening this wound up? Houston fans seem to be amoung the worst at loving to inflict pain upon themselves.

If we didn't have bad memories as Houston football fans, we'd have no memories at all.*
