Well, Bob McNair is still here. And his minority owners. I don't know for sure, but I can imagine the feeling is mutual that the Carr's and the Texans prefer to avoid each other outside of meaningless pleasantries exchanged. I've been fearing lil' Carr on the draft board since I started a
thread in September. It would not surprise me at all if lil' Carr makes a big move up general scouts' boards between now and April. David wasn't much more of a 2nd or 3rd round pick early into his final season at Fresno, too.

Blame Kubiak. No argument.

I used dangerous in the sense that making long-term decisions based on prorated stats is beyond risky. Calling him a career backup may sound like me doing the same, but all I can say is that stats (prorated or not) have little to do with my opinion on this... I'm letting my eyeballs drive my thinking here. That split stat on completion % is available on ESPN, Yahoo, etc... anywhere split stats are posted.

Agreed. I've written here numerous times about how QB's in Kubiak's system really take three years to pick it up. So now Case is somewhere in between year 1 and year 2. Problem is Kubiak is presumably gone after the season, and a new HC is probably not going ignore a 1st round QB prospect in favor of Keenum. Keeping Keenum here where he is loved by the locals would be a tough way to bring along a new rookie QB as well.
