would yall be happy if DD got 1400 yards and 9 tds(4.4 average) and Carr completed 60%of his passes passed 3000 yards and had 20 TD's and 19 INTS?

would that make you happy for the season and this would be a successful season?

domanick yes, carr no. 19 picks is too many. he could easily throw for 4000 if he set his mind to it.

Four QBs threw for 3800+ yards last season. The two Super Bowl QBs were not among them. Two of those threw for 4000 or more. Only three QBs threw for 25+ TDs, only one of whom threw for 30+. Neither Super Bowl QB did that.

Just something to think about while setting expectations.

That's what I'm saying, people. We need a QB who can't do that well. :tease:

So I expect more than 3000 yards from David.

With the Broncos, Jake Plummer's numbers (prorated to a 16 game schedule) are:
3585 Passing Yards
22 TDs
13 INTs
60.1% completions

Considering the influx of talent at the receiver positions (and a big season from Andre), I think Carr should be able to attain these numbers in a Kubiak offense.

While 1400 yards @ 4.4 yards a pop sounds great for a healthy DD playing a 16 game schedule, I don't think Domanick can stay healthy if you have him carry the ball 20 times a game (plus receptions). I've hoped that the Texans would reduce Davis' load for 3 seasons. Capers & Palmer gave lip service to giving Hollings (and then Morency) some touches. But, that never happened once the whistle blew.

Kubiak will be different, I think. No Bronco RB (not even Portis) had 300+ rushing attempts in a season since Terrell Davis' MVP performance in '98. Look for guys like Smith, Morency, or maybe even one of the rookies to share the rock with DD. I remember in Green Bay, Mike Sherman would use his backup RBs in the middle of the field and save Ahman Green some carries. Maybe the Texans try this?

Not really. Charlie Frye has "it".

The offense presents a lot more challenges to be ready for the 2006 season. Second-year quarterback Charlie Frye has been handed the starting job after Trent Dilfer was traded -- which was a high-risk decision -- but from the GM to the ball boys, everyone says Frye has "it." What is "it"?

A little careless with my typing....I meant a ring and a trophy, and I think its pretty clear what I meant, but fine I'll restate.

Marino was not the correct quarterback to get the dolphins to WIN a superbowl. My overlying point still remains.

If rings/trophies are the measure of a great QB, then Trent Dilfer is a better QB than Moon, Marino, and Kelly.

But rings/trophies are not necessarily the measure of individual players, they are the measure of teams.

Well Done, DB.


on the subject of Carr's stats...

I predicted in an earlier post something like:

3200+ yds
23-25 tds
18-19 ints


I still think those are reasonable numbers... maybe even a tad conservative, but I'll stick with the ones I listed.
I would be happy with 23-25 tds this year, but I'd like to see 17> ints...

Stats from Carr that will make me smile:

>20 TD
<15 INT
3500+ Yards
Click to expand...
i would have to agree with this - i cant see carr throwing more than 15 INTs and 20+ TD sounds pretty good to me, the yards will be there but 3500 sounds good

I could care less if carr throws for 50 tds....All I want is 8-8. If he can do that, I'll lay off him....if he can't, then he needs to leave.

If Carr threw for 50 TDs and we weren't 8-8 then that would mean that Mario was a complete bust and we have the equivalent of a NFLE defense.
