When's the last time you ever heard of a "free safety controversy" or a "left guard controversy"?<BR/><BR/>And as for the "never had fewer than 11 interceptions" thing...I can think of at least one quarterback out there who, before this season, never had fewer than double-digit interceptions in a season, had 9 this year, and has averaged 15.4 per season (compared to Carr's high of 15, period).

If t...If Jackson never starts he'll never be ready. If they bring in some other guy, like Carr, they will be stuck with his big contract and be forced to start him. Jackson becomes a FA in 3 years. If he's just sitting on the bench here I don't why he'd just sign somewhere else. Play the kid and see what he can do. If he's a bust they can look another direction in 2-3 years and trade for some other first round bust like Alex Smith. We don't need David Carr's contract right now.<BR/><BR/>Who was that moron saying Plummer is going to turn around the Texans? That team needs a lot more than a QB.<BR/><BR/>As for the Madden thing and drafting two QB's your stratagy is all wrong. You trade draft picks and old players for young players. The draft is a complete crap shoot I usually trade away the majority of my day one picks. <BR/><BR/>Trade for guys like Antonio Cromatrie, Manny Lawson, Boss Bailey, Donte Whinter and Maurice Jones-Drew.<BR/><BR/>Some projects that turn out to be complete studs are guys like Drew Carter who is 6'4 and has 96 speed. He's rated a 60 something overall but because of his height and speed turns out to be a monster reciever if you develop him. You trade almost nothing to get him but he's unstoppable in after 3 seasons.<BR/><BR/>In 05 Madden I used to sign Trung Candatate (sp?) who would turn into a 90 something overall in 2 seasons. That guy was crazy fast in that game.<BR/><BR/>In 06 my guy was Sececa Wallace. Do that preseason drill that lets you boost his THP. His THA and AWR go up just by making plays with him in the regular season and playoffs with player progression.<BR/><BR/>My 07 QB is D.J Shockley. Costs almost nothing to get him and he's awsome after a few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-31989047793767490392007-02-19T19:53:00.000-06:002007-02-19T19:53:00.000-06:00besides, the vikes wont waste that kind of money o...besides, the vikes wont waste that kind of money on a perennial loser like carr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-55862823064249019302007-02-19T19:51:00.000-06:002007-02-19T19:51:00.000-06:00you cant compare david carr to those two... cmon, ...you cant compare david carr to those two... cmon, look at the houston texans organization they wouldnt know a good qb if they landed joe montana back in the day... for god's sake they drafted a defensive lineman over REGGIE BUSH! just because carr was a first round pick doesnt mean squat. he cant read defenses, his bad decision making skills have cost him his job at one of the worst franchises in the league... the reason why he has so many interceptions and fumbles is because he cant read nfl defenses. jake plummer is going to come in and mark my words "make the texans playoff contenders". carr stinks and every nfl analyst thinks so too. i got a feeling that most of these people that dont like tj are racists. cuz when you look at the kids talent, its beyond anything that carr has in every aspect accept nfl experience. i know a guy named ROMO that didnt have any experience either and beat out a guy named BLEDSOE...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-9209477700106214132007-02-19T09:33:00.000-06:002007-02-19T09:33:00.000-06:00David Carr is worth the risk.

And if he doesn't pan out next year, well, he can back up Tarvaris for a year. And if he does, Tarvaris will have two years to get ready to be a star. Works for me.TBird41https://www.blogger.com/profile/12561900451394323315noreply@blogger.com
