The history of sacking, Starring David Carr

LOL. Niiiiiiiiiiiice. Hopefully things will be different from here on out

Hopefully he wont be getting sacked because he wont need to play.

LOL Clever. Looks about right there is no O-line to be found anywhere......

I think Carr likes the sack.

At least Carr never had major surgery from those hits. To me, he's a tough guy.

Anyone who hasn't read the HOuston Chronicle article on Carr, should make it mandatory reading. I am hoping all our coaches, esp bigMike and solari and Ray, plus jimmyrae, take the article to heart. It is a treatise on how not to bring along a QB. Unfortunately, it looks exactly like how the 9ers have treated Alex, with one of the worst OLs in football. Are our GM and HC, really that stupid? Also, if i owned this team, regardless of who the QB was, before signing a $64 million CB(who has NOT been a shut down corner), and before i hired a WR w/ great potential, who sat out first half of his first yr(crabs), i sure as hell would have drafted, traded, until i had an OL that could protect our QB. Until we do that, we are, as the Chronicle article pointed out, doing something really stupid, by not getting our QB protected BEFORE any other moves are made. Sorry to you folks who want OLB, NT, DB, RB, another QB...doesn't matter... until we protect our QB, whoever he is, we won't have squat for a team.

I think Carr also has a problem getting rid of the ball quickly, so let's just hope he doesn't start with our line. Still, I think it might still be possible for him to resurrect his career. I just hope we don't have to find out.

I love the annual David Carr thread. For the last few years, (insert team name here) has felt like David could come in and be the saviour for their team that he never was anywhere else. Typically good for a laugh.

I'm not sure how you think Carr will be better for you than anywhere else. At the start of his career, the protection was awful. We couldn't protect him, or even offer him any weapons to help him out. The team was bad, and they should have done a better job to develop him.

But David has a long list of faults. He does not read defenses very well, and will wait for a receiver to come open before he will throw the ball. Great quarterbacks will know where the receiver will be and throw the ball to the spot so it's on them when they get open. His lack of decision-making is also why his sack numbers were so high. What changed between 2006 and 2007? In 2006, David Carr was sacked 43 times. In 2007, Matt Schaub was sacked 22 times. There was no massive change at our line, it was inserting a QB who could make decisions quickly that made the difference. Not to mention that in 2006, David Carr would run out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage while scrambling, rather than throwing the ball away. He would sack himself, hurting the line's statistics even more.

He has tremendous arm strength, but did not have any accuracy on his deep throws. Gary Kubiak had to try and turn him into a dump-off passer, because it was the only way the offense would move at all. Andre Johnson had 1100 yards that season on 100 catches, with a 6.1 YAC average. This means that Carr would, on average, pass the ball to Andre at about the five yard mark, and Andre would gain the rest of the yards by himself.

Indecisive. Poor mechanics. Questionable work ethic. Zero accuracy.

If you want to give him a shot, go ahead. But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on this guy to lead you to the Super Bowl. He was the first overall pick in 2002, so when exactly is the light supposed to come on?

We can copy and paste the same post for whichever team picks up Alex later on.
