SI's Texans Preview
Sports Illustrated is offering up previews of all 32 NFL teams.
It will be amusing looking back at this Kubiak lovefest come January when the few remaining Texans fans join the Texans in watching other teams compete in the playoffs.
This is the amazing bit:
He will run as much as or more than any other quarterback in the league. And he will be given more freedom to make decisions in the pocket. Last year, the coaches wanted him to only run as a last resort. This year, Kubiak wants Carr to make a play - regardless of whether it's in the air or on the ground.
Carr only racked up big running numbers because he had an offensive line made out of toilet paper and he had to run from the large men bearing down on him. Factor in the league-leading sack numbers, and those 56 carries are outweighed by plenty more times Carr was on his back and watching the birdies.
If Kubiak (the "great quarterbacks coach") wanted a running quarterback with the freedom to make decisions, the Texans should have gotten a great quarterback by the name of Vince Young in the draft.
