Texans Fans Suffering From David Carr Fatigue

David Carr had neither a great game or a particularly poor game against the Jets given the circumstances. He completed 39 out of 54, with 1 garbage TD and one INT that eventually led to a NY touchdown.

The Texans running backs, Wali Lundy and Samkon Gado combined for 15 yards with 11 attempts. No really, that isn't a typo. The running game was that horrific today.

To be fair, that stat is not completely on the running backs. The offensive line has a rookie tackle and an oldish tackle that are starting because the players in front of them went down to injury. The center's best days are behind him, and the fullback looks over matched.

Local talk radio and the NFL writers believe that Carr should have been benched during this game. Their argument goes something like well yeah, the running game was sub-atrocious but the Texans need to try something. Maybe some magic pixie dust would help too.

Ultimately, a lot of that talk locally comes from a lot of the local writers and fans' desire for Vince Young to be the first pick of the Texans. Young had a great fourth quarter comeback against the Giants today, and the Texans fourth quarter offense didn't appear to have much urgency.

The above picture is Ray Romano at the game. I guess everyone loves Raymond but Carr not so much.
