I immediately backed him as our best pick of that draft. This was met with a whole lot of "You’re crazy, dude" from fellow posters. Now I’m not saying I’m always right or anything even close to that. I was wrong about Jared Zabransky. I was wrong about David Carr, who wasn’t? But I’ve got that same feeling about ...

Stampede Blue — ... What you probably don't know is what the actual segment looked like.  After all, it's very hard to pull in the football diehard audience and the audience that loves self-help advice shows.  But finally after a lot of YouTube searching, I was finally able to track down the segment where he humiliated the gold diggers far worse than he ever humiliated David Carr.  They do a good job of trying to cover their tracks, but you can still see that they were pretty upset for turning down a chance to hang out with a very, very wealthy man.  Check ...

This is the NFL's 17th-best group of QBs? Really?
Big Blue View — ... FOX Sports recently came out with a ranking of the quarterback groups of all 32 NFL teams. FOX has listed the New York Giants group of Eli Manning, David Carr, Andre Woodson and Rhett Bomar 17th. All I can say to this, are you serious? Or, how about, are you out of your friggin' mind? Here is what FOX said about the Giants' quartet. If former Super Bowl champion Eli Manning gets hurt for an extended period, watch the Giants' offense go into "three yards and ...

This year's useless try at predicting the Giants' season-opening 53-man roster
Big Blue View — ... OK, so with training camp only days away it is time to take a stab at predicting the season-opening 53-man roster. It's an exercise in complete futility. I mean, there is no way to predict injuries, and no guessing what veterans might get picked up right before the season starts. But, I will take a stab at it anyway. Before Week 1 I will have to remember to look back and see how close I got. Quarterbacks:   Starter -- Eli Manning. Backup -- David Carr, Andre Woodson, Rhett Bomar. The obvious fight ...

He made some good throws, but ended up with three balls intercepted this morning. Ugh! That is not what I wanted to see. The first drop of camp was by David Tyree, on a pass from Andre Woodson. The first touchdown pass of the morning was a long ball from David Carr to Sinorice Moss. Moss ran by everybody, and ...

One was a short in. The second was a deep ball where Smith beat Kevin Dockery by several steps, but could not handle a perfect throw from Eli. The good news is Smith has shown in the first two days he can definitely get deep. David Carr had a tough day. He had a ball intercepted by Terrell ...

I've heard of quarterbacks who end up as busts because of bad offensive lines that ruin their mechanics and confidence.

That as fans of the Houston Texans, it's our job to pump sunshine and good cheer about all players at all times. Why? Why would I forfeit my right to complain or criticize once a player becomes a Texan? For anyone out there who's thinking, "You forfeit that right as long as the player is wearing steel blue, liberty white, and battle red," I would ask if you followed that golden rule the entire time David Carr was under center for the Texans.

I have gone 'outside the box' on a couple of these, and away from some of my original choices. Let's see what you think.

He showed speed on a short dump-off that he turned into a 13-yard reception by out-racing linebacker Montty Ivy for the sidelines and turning it up field. And he showed more power by bowling over corner Dante Wesley while lead blocking for a 13-yard run by quarterback David Carr. Both Godfrey and Gamble need to bring ...

Hey, Sinorice, don't feel bad. I was wondering the same thing. ...

Starting More Games as a Rookie Will Not Make Stafford Better (Or Worse) in the Future
Pride Of Detroit — ... will help Stafford become a better QB later on. That is, let him start more games, make some rookie mistakes this year, and he'll be a better quarterback in 2010 and 2011, his second and third years. Based on my research, I don't believe this is true. History is relevant here, and while it's easy to get into an extremely anecdotal example/counterexample argument over stuff like this ("Peyton Manning started all 16 games."  "Oh yeah, well so did David Carr, and Carson Palmer sat his entire rookie year" etc. ...

Is Brandon Marshall Now More Likely?

It's to develop him into a franchise quarterback. I doubt the Jets would have put a second thought to the passing game with Clemens. Now they need to think of giving Mark some weapons. So much of developing a young quarterback is putting him into a position to succeed. The two examples I always use are Ben Roethlisberger and David Carr. Roethlisberger had a great defense, a bruising running game, ...

He made four other catches and finished his night with six grabs for 144 yards. Nicks' numbers don't lie -- he had a terrific game. ...

We didn’t get the pressure on the quarterback that we would have liked to have. We gave up some plays in the secondary that we just shouldn’t give up.

Pats Pulpit — ... You would've had every right to turn the game off last night.  With 5:58 left in the first quarter, backup Giants QB David Carr hit WR Hakeem Nicks for New York's third touchdown.  The game looked like a train wreck for our fine boys from Foxborough.  However, as Marima said, once we stopped recognizing the names on the Giants' jerseys, thing started coming around. For a preseason game, I thought this was more exciting than most.  A comeback win, some young dudes getting a chance to show their stuff, it ...

Speaking of injuries, Boomer Esiason knows Eli's pain, literally. Esiason, the 1988 NFL MVP, suffered from plantar fasciitis during his career. The injury never caused Boomer to miss a game, but he says that the constant pain in his heel was one of the things that drove him to retirement. Just in case Eli can't make it, David Carr says he's ready to go on Sunday. Also in that article, the ...

So unless an anti-inflammatory injection indeed relieves the pain enough for him to move unfettered, expect a shortening up of the game plan to accommodate the injury. Also, the offensive line will have to hold their blocks a lot longer since he won't be able to move around in the pocket very well. Still, having Manning in there at 75 percent efficiency is, to me, still better than the alternative in David Carr. I think if the running game can get going and Steve Smith ...

We know Carr's history of misery in both Houston and Carolina, and we know the Giants brought him to New York hoping to resurrect his shattered confidence. If he has to play, maybe we find out if they have done that, or if those experts who ...

The potential is there for Jacobs to have his breakout game of 2009. Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, NYG - see above. I think this could be the week Bradshaw finds the end zone.

That has been an issue, sometimes in the past we have created the fumble, but we have not been able to come up with the ball. Yesterday we were able to do that and I was pleased with that.

Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys - Game Thread
Field Gulls — The Seattle Seahawks can prove that injury has been the difference between 2-4 and a contender. Seattle headed into a similar situation last season in New York. The Seahawks were supposed to be getting healthy. The Giants built their offense off the run game. The Seahawks were supposed to slow Brandon Jacobs and force Eli Manning to beat him. He did. Jacobs did. I think David Carr got in some licks. If Seattle is a better team, a developing team with a promising future, it must show up on the road against an NFC East ...
