The Official Start Sage Rosenfels Thread!!!

SESupergenius said:
Didn't Sage have good preseason games against 2nd and 3rd stringers? We should have just drafted Vince Young because he can't win the fans of those Young supports, of which many are still bitter.

I am one of the guys that wanted VY but I am not bitter and understand that Carr is the Texans starting QB ,the last thing the Texans need is a rotating QB situation IMHO!
:cowboy1:
 
I'm all for starting Sage. If he can play Right Tackle or Free Safety.

wow I wonder if the the Texans would fire up another server to handle the posts if Carr put up horrible stats in "garbage" time.

well if it was "garbage" time, why didn't our defense stop them?(they still score 13 points in "garbage" time)

If it was garbage time, why didn't he get these numbers LAST year? Let's face it, he had a lot of garbage time last year. If you don't get these numbers in garbage time, how are you supposed to have a great comeback? Is he supposed to just stop playing at some point and get called a quitter?

You beat me to it. I was really excited when I realized that our back up QB could magically cure our defensive line problems, our secondary problems, our offensive line problems, and our running game problems.

Sage Rosenfels is a superhero!

Opposing team up by at least 20, and offense in complete control of the game scoring at will.

If you noticed and I'm sure you did:rolleyes: the 2nd team CB's were in the game.

double nice try

Most teams that are as established as the Colts are, have 2nd teamers that are just a step down from the starters, & they play almost as many snaps as the starters. How does that qualify as garbage time?

I'll agree that the 3rd TD drive could be considered garbage time, but not the first 2. There were too many starters & 2nd teamers still in the game at that point. Keep trying.

Something you're going to have to face, & no amount of whining on a message board is going to change it, David Carr is our starter for the duration, & you're just going to have to live with it.:neener: :neener: :neener:

I saw the Giants D not give up yesterday when their QB threw TD's late in the game, did you see our D do that? Carr was still fighting to win and was trying to get the job done. Eli Manning threw his TD's in mop up time too, but guess what, he had a D that helped him immensely, had 2 3-and-outs and forced a fumble. What did our D do to get us back in the game?

This is true and our defense is just as responsible for starting 0-2 as Carr's problems at QB. One could easily argue that the defense is even more to blame but that doesn't have anything to do with Carr's ability to put his team in a position to win football games. Even Carr's current #1 fan Kubiak said as much post-game. Carr has problems with throwing from the pocket, handling the blitz, protecting the football, and game management still going into his 5th year. Those are things that capable QBs learn after their 1st or 2nd year. Eventually you have to step back and realize he may be just what you have seen for the past 5 years, a failed experiment.

That being said, I think we need to stick with Carr for this year because we are married to him by contract and by the lack of a much better option at backup QB. Next year we need to bring in some new QB talent (free agent and/or draft) and have a real competition for the starting QB position....
 
Who gives a cr*p about garbage time?!?!?!

Basically, we have two qbs, and I like the decisions that Carr has made with the ball when he has had time to throw it. THe first play of the game was ridiculous... both Spencer and Weigert just let the ends lose. Not one, both!

That says a lot about the progress the OLine has made. First play of the game and two of the five don't show up. That single handedly pushed all momentum to Indy.

The botched exchange at center falls on Flanagan AND Carr. No doubt a factor of Carr wanting to get pack in the pocket since the OLIne obviously had issues.

I am more concerned about the run game, which supposedly the Texans should have been able to expose the interior line since they are undersized. I never see much audibling from Carr, but this could have been an area to exploit if we could have spread the field a little more.
 
If you can't see the progress Carr is making, you're blind. Example: watch the play where Carr throws the 33 yard TD to Daniels. Carr drops back, looks left, looks over the middle, looks right, throws right, Touchdown. Even if Daniels doesn't get in, it's a good passing play. Readind defenses and making progressions was a big knock on Carr. He's getting better, but like the rest of the team, it will take time.

Uhhh no
 
maybe they should put in sage so he can get his big "L" and has the stats that prove why he has never been chosen to be a starter on any team and then the "start sage" crap can stop and we can put our real qb in again...who i only feel sorry for, more and more each weak.. he a good qb and he doesnt deserve it. I dont know who beats him up worse the D's from the teams that are making our OL look ridiculous or the fans that tear him down when our defense gives up 40 points
