TK...stop drinking the p.a water.
I still get a good laugh at Jerruh with his move up to draft Quincy..

I admit it, I am a Carr hater.
I just don't think he has the skills needed to be a proficient NFL quarterback.
I don't question his skills... as has been said, we haven't given him the time to use those skills. I question his mental fortitude. Sure, he doesn't complain about all the sacks he's taken, so he's mentally tough, I don't mind a guy running for his life, but David is running scared...... even if it's his own shadow.

Even so, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and only expect to win 5 games next year and don't expect the first win until week 7 - 8.
Offensively, we're the shiznit. Especially with Reggi Bush on the field(if you guys are right). If we can be aggresive with the ball, and David's propensity to not throw interceptions..... I think we should be averaging 30 points or better......... if our D can get us a couple of stops, I think we can run the table.
Think about it, we have two #1 recievers on our team, both of them with pretty decent speed, both with good hands, and both can pick up lots of yards after the catch. then throw in Walter, Armstrong, or Mathis, that's a headache for any secondary. With those guys running deep routes, clearing the secondary, a good cut block here and there, a sweet lead block from the full back, and bam....... DD/Bush going for 20/80 yards.......
the greatest show on turf.......
I haven't seen David make too many bad throws.... I've never seen him miss a wide open reciever. The only way I can see us not scoring 30 points on avg, is if Kubiak is not as aggresive as he should be.... we should stretch the field on almost every play.... I understand we want to be a dominant run team, but with our personnell, I can't see how you wouldn't use the passing game to set up the run game. We've got an accurate QB, with a big arm, who doesn't make mistakes.
I'll be disappointed if this doesn't happen, but I won't be blaming David for anything I haven't blamed him for yet... he's got to see the second & third reciever. He's got to be able to pick up the blitz, and he's got to learn on someplays, he's got to throw the ball on time. 3 steps, the ball is out of his hands.... whether it's to a reciever on the field, or in the stands. Do not take that sack.

Well with Indy seemingly losing some firepower on both sides of the ball it opens the door for our Bitter rivals the jaguars to maybe become the team to beat in our division,
If the Colts have lost the ability to score 30 points a game, I think we are the team to beat...... bold statement, I know... but think about it.

I think the steelers and chargers revealed how to beat the colts, and that was constant pressure. Manning doesnt seem to have that favre like presence to deliver a perfect pass as he gets hit when he is about to get hit the passes seem to get errant, I think maybe he rushes his throw and loses some accuracy.
Pittsburgh and SanDiego has two things that made that work for them. Great coverage, and a great pass rush. Palomalu(sp) was flying out of the backfield, he could be 10 yards off the LOS before the snap, then in the backfield before manninng could look down field.... amazing...... not too many teams can do that... they can try, and Peyton will beat them.

I could see some really good texan jags games in the coming seasons. i think its a toss up between us and indy who ends up 2nd in the division, but niether team will have a wildcard, I think the wild card will be Miami or new england, then KC, Den or SD.
This league is so Topsy Turvy, it's really difficult to predict this far out. Cincy in the Playoffs, SanDiego out......... who knew??

I think Carr improves dramatically in an offense that plays to his strengths, Throwing on the run and play action. especially if the line can adjust and protect him better. This helps because with weapons pther than AJ we can ad lib some busted plays and make something happen unlike last year when no one could step up and be someone carr could count on.
It'd be nice, if those were Carr's strengths, but I've seen nothing to prove he throws well on the run, or that adlibbing is something he should do more of. With this O, he's better off dumping it off to the safety valve, or throwing it away, and regrouping.
Really depends on what school you are comparing UT to. If its North Harris Community College then ya UT has them beat hands down.
