El Tejano
Hall of Fame
I would like to say that this year I was able to see every game on TV if not in person. However, I live in Austin and when your team is not the Cowboys and they start losing you aren't going to be given the fancy treatment of seeing your team lose on TV. Instead I have to listen to a sorry 1260 am station that barely picks up the game. This is why I believe Vince Young can only help us.
The fan base would increase largely from Houston to Austin. Most of the fans on this board have been here tsince day one. We sat through 4-12, 5-11, 7-9, and unfortunately 2-12. We sat through bad football that has our QB getting sacked everytime he goes to throw and bad holding and false start penalties.
I understand not wanting to quit on David Carr. Are you really quitting on him though or are you being the class act you are and allowing him to start over from scratch like yourself. We've never been fair to him. Even after he pleaded to the team, we never put the line in front of him to show the skills he still had. Instead we allowed a bad coaching staff to strip him of any pocket awareness he had before he got here. Carr is going to be good but Vince will be a champion. His decision to come to the NFL says that alone. The Heisman was his for the taking with a return to UT. However the individual award is not what satisified him. It was the team trophy in the end that gave him the clear conscience to declare because he fulfilled his promise to his team and community.
Get Vince and sign Carr and Carr's stock will rise higher than it ever will. By trading Carr you are going to be winning for years to come because the value trading Carr will bring. Through that we can get the OL you need for Young because we already have the skill position players. If it takes another year or two, hey us Texans got patience that go back to the Oilers as long as greatness is in store. Right now we see no greatness, just goodness.
Worried about paying Carr 8 mil for three years after we let him go? Don't be, The fan base you will create from Houston to Austin will pay it right back. Carr's trade will allow us to get the vet we need and future lineman in the draft. Also by the time we get out of that deal Vince will be prepared to take on the NFL and dominate it for years to come.
Also, drafting Young eliminates the possibility of him becoming a Pro Bowler on a division rival. I don't know about you but I am so sick of being dominated by our division opponents franchise QB for so long that I am ready to swing back with one of our own.
You say you want our team to have players with outstanding character. Well when a guy gives up the individual award for a bigger challenge, I think it says enough of his character let alone the fact that he consulted with his Mom, family, churhc pastor and God. You will be getting a player with the same character as David, just better leadership which says alot because David has shown tremendous leadership.
