Get's my vote for the emptiest threat of the day award. Good Job!![]()
Delhomme was a career back up until he found his grove in Carolina.![]()
There are exceptions to every rule. Sure there are people like Delhomme but generally backups are backups for a reason.
Not to pick nits, but how did you know that he didn't cheer when they scored, or didn't participate in discussions on the sidelines?I think Carr showed his true self today when he got pulled. Could he acknowledge the fact that an int and 3 fumbles later that he might be having a bad day? No he went to the sidelines and pouted, sitting off by himself. Did he cheer when his team got a TD? No. Did he participate in discussions with Kubiak and Sage and do what he could to get his team a win? No. He was self-centered and childish in his response. Certainly not a team player and most certainly not the leader he is expected to be. .

Sure was. Caught a few shots of him holding his shoulder pads, but other than that, I didn't see anything that showed that he didn't cheer when they scored, or didn't participate in any discussions. Not saying it wasn't the case, but I'm just wondering what you''re going by other than that network feed.Were you watching the TV?![]()

You can pick out a few stats here and there but the bottom line is we've lost with him for four years and we're losing here again. I fail to see the logic of sticking with this another year to see something I have little confidence that we will ever see out of Carr.
I've been a Carr supporter since the Fans started to question it. I had excuses from:
1. He has no O-line
2. He has only AJ.
3. He has no running game
4. When he has time he puts the ball on the money.
5. He has no coaching
6. He has no weapons
I'm tired of making excuses after today, and It's time for us to stop making excuses. Trust me I know, I wanted nothing more to say to all the nay sayers out there "Look Carr is the answer." Time to face reality for me and the rest. Some people keep saying that Sage is just a filler and he has only got trash stats. Then what does Carr have? Ladies and Gentlemen it's offical..............WE NEED A CHANGE!
Sage should be our QB until David show's that he is better. Heck even in preseason Sage looked Better.
HOF backups/throwaway exceptions are Steve Young, Warren Moon, Brett Favre and Tom Brady... Hasselbeck and Trent Green and Marc Bulger and Rex Grossman and Jon Kitna aren't awful either. Just because the guy hasn't played or wasn't given the keys to the franchise on draft day doesn't mean he doesn't have HOF game or can't be a good QB in this system. For every Palmer or Manning there's a Delhomme or Brady.

Sage had garbage time stats.
Were you watching the TV?![]()
I wish we'd just start Sage so these *****s waiting for this moment see that Sage is no better than DC. What DC is decent at Sage is garbage at & what Sage is decent at DC is garbage at. It's all just a trade off. If Sage becomes the starter & gets killed & starts to fumble & throw INT's then what will all you guys say?
Our O-line is and always was our problem, which is why i was pleased with what Kubes did in the draft with Spencer & Winston. He at least acknowledged it was the source of the problem (unlike Capers & co.). I don't see how people can just outright jump on DC when it has been proven that if the guy has time he can succeed.
You obviously think we need a game to have some substance. Well...look no further than today's game where Carr faced the same team Rosenfels did. A simple tag (QB starter/back up) is irrelevant. Performance speaks volumes.
well if performance speaks volumes what about Carr's game last week? If you guys are simply willing to go with Sage b/c of his performance today. Sage had an advantage in that teams don't game plan for a back-up. i want to see how the guy performs when teams game plan to stop him, that's all i'm saying.

ya performance for 1 1/2 quarters......what else are you people basing your Sage campaign on?? I'll let the guy have his 20 mins of fame but we still LOST THE GAME. So in my opinion Carr is still the starter. He's been relatively consistent with the exception of two bad games.
No. He is a career backup for a reason. Plus, like many have said, if Carr's stats earlier this year were garbage stats, so were Sage's today.
That's the same stance I take. I've always defended Carr....but today was it.BTW, this is the very first post where I haven't defended DC. I have been behind him 100% in every single debate on this subject... he emabarrassed me today.
unfortunately...starting/franchise QBs are supposed to have good games consistently. The starting/franchise QB is supposed to demand confidence in him to get the job done week in-week out. Carr's done none of that. That's substance!
Basically all you guys are saying is that you want to win. If Carr had a game like VY but the team won on a consistent basis no one would be complaining. And you're really reaching with the bold. How do you know that he doesn't have this? Kubes has already come out & said that there is no QB controversy Carr will start next week. Are you in the huddle or something?
I like his style of play compared to Carr's. He seems to be more poised in the pocket, doesn't do the short dump-offs, doesn't stare at the receivers, and has a bit more zip in his pass compared to Carr's. He actually takes a chance.
Kubiak, KEEP HIM AS THE STARTER!!!!
No, I'm a spectator....doing no different than scouts do. Are all professional scouts 100% correct in their analysis, are all coaches 100% on their analysis? NO...so just because I don't get paid to do it...doesn't discount my take on it.
In regards to just wanting to win....YES I WANT TO WIN. I want my QB to put us in a position to win, not in a position to lose as Carr did today.
Simply put....he lacks pocket presence, poise, skills to read defenses consistently, and worse of all....leadership skills. Sure...some in the team have said that he's starting to gain that....but, it's a front. If the teammates show the morale falling apart...then would the fans buy in the winning spirit? No... So, them saying that he's gaining the respect of the team means he either had it and lost it...or simply never had it at all.
Then that's exactly why you start Sage. Why do you think NFL teams play the QBs they play when injuries are not a factor? Cause that QB is whom they feel gives them the best chance to win!All i'm saying is that Sage gives us no more of chance to win than DC does IMO. .
He looked like Manning wit that number 18. no lie.
It's funny how you can put the blame on one guy when the whole team looked horrible the only person i would give a game ball to is Wali Lundy, if i were the coach i'll fire everyone on the offensive line but hey why do that when everyone else scapegoat always seem to be David Carr, next thing you know lets get a new owner, you guys seem to never let me down

Not arguing with you, but it was nice to see that the team still fought back the whole game and didn't crumble. As for Carr I am now officially a fence sitter. I am going to wait and see. I may not trust Carr, but I believe in Kubes.
If we benched all of our players for having a bad game we wouldnt have a pro team left....
Kubiak might as well start benching them now because nothing short of a complete overhaul will really turn this team around. The "chemistry" ain't there for this group. Sure, there are a lot of talented individuals on the team but they do not play together. I think a core exists to build around but this team needs to be stripped down and built back up.....which means another 3 or 4 years of getting our a**es handed to us on Sunday.![]()
