Why? They can have a horrible year and be in line to draft Arch Manning ..

that would actually be an amazing result. 

 

if you are going to tank for a QB, this is the year to do it, with the strength of next years QB draft class.

 

timing is everything

Kirk Cousins just started salivating...

 

 

According to Spotrac, he's made $196 million in his career.

 

The 'laugh' reaction was for the Cousins observation.

So, what's next for Carr?  RuPaul's Drag Race? 🤔

On a different note... "“Kellen Moore declares open an QB competition among Tyler Shough, Jake Haener, and Spencer Rattler”

 

 

 

Are those QBs, or characters out of GTA5? 🤔

David Carr was a bust. Did they think Derek and his large hateable forehead would be any different? 

 

 

David Carr was a bust largely because Houston figured an offensive line was more a guideline than a requirement. He had the confidence and the poise pounded out of him.

 

That team failed him.

As important as John Brown and Beasley were when they were brought in to help josh in year 2.  They also replaced Groy/Bodine with Morse, Ducasse with Spain, and Mills with Ford.  They also added depth with Feliciano, Nsekhe and Spencer long.  They definitely whiffed on moving on from Teller, but they did use those picks to help acquire Diggs, and added Bass in the 6th.

Going to an expansion franchise is insanely hard to do as a rookie QB and David Carr also had an issue where the expansion draft rules weren't that good for the Texans which meant that getting the franchise off to a hot start like the Jags and Panthers was not gonna happen (I think the other owners basically didn't want to be too favorable for expansion teams so they defacto punished the Texans and returning Browns). I would love to have seen Derrick Carr with the Texans team that Matt Schuab had. Schuab had a lot better O-line and a good complement of weapons and a defense that improved somewhat. Carr was just given Andre Johnson and not much else.
