That oline was a friggin joke and his receivers were bad his rookie season. Think thay drafted Andre Johnson and some more offensive players his second year and things got a little better. Then Andre Johnson started getting injured, and it went back to weekly beat downs. 

When we signed him I did a deep dive on his Houston days.

One of the most surprising things I learned from it was that Chris Palmer didn't really put much effort into teaching Carr how to read a defense.

Yes, you read that right

Instead, they'd just write a play and tell him "throw it to this spot".

Yeah

How in the unmitigated hell a coach with years of actual NFL coaching experience believes something like that is a truly viable option... I'm just never gonna understand

I've argued in the past that a lot of history's biggest draft busts could have been saved by better coaching. 

Carr is one.

There was a an NFL Network episode before the draft one year and they invited Mahomes on before the draft and I’m pretty sure David Carr who had been out of the league a while by then out threw Mahomes pre-draft. I don’t remember if it was accuracy or if it was like an arm strength test but I remember being like Damn, this kids arm is horrible..

I believe I saw that - that is the one that has them throwing normal velocity and then all out fastball style that I saw and did a great job illustrating the loss of accuracy that comes with max effort.
