David Carr

Carr makes me think about how cruel timing can be to talent. A 191-cm quarterback from Bakersfield, he won the Johnny Unitas and Sammy Baugh awards at Fresno State and went first overall in 2002 as the Houston Texans' very first draft pick. The expectations were enormous. But an expansion team with a porous line meant he was sacked relentlessly, and his reputation suffered for circumstances beyond his control. To me, his career is proof that statistics never tell the whole story. I often wonder what he might have become on a more stable roster. I genuinely believe he was a better player than the numbers suggest.
