I believe David Carr was a terrible NFL quarterback. You may disagree with that assessment, perhaps asserting that the Texans failed Carr by throwing him into the starting lineup before he was ready and/or by trotting out a poor offensive line that contributed greatly to Carr’s struggles. It’s a chicken-or-egg debate that Texans fans can argue about any day of the week.
What I’d hope Texans fans can all agree on is that the organization gave David Carr plenty of time to show he could be a passable starting quarterback in the NFL. During his five seasons in Houston, Carr started sixteen games in four of those seasons; in the other season (2003), he started eleven of twelve games he suited up for.
