Worst Texan of All-Time?

Scott's earlier post about the all-time worst Texan squad got me thinking.  In the brief five year history of the franchise, we've seen our fair share of players who probably couldn't have secured a job on any other team.  Much of that is due to the fact that Houston was an expansion team, but nevertheless...

Let us know in the comments who rates as your all-time worst Texan.  The guy who most often caused you to scream, "How is that guy on the field?"  Or, "What have we done to deserve (insert name here)?"

I'll start it off with two names:   Matt Stevens and Phillip Buchanon .  Stevens actually came disturbingly close to giving me an aneurysm on no less than ten (10) occasions during his time in H-Town.  Buchanon may not have been as memorable as Stevens, but when you remember that acquiring his patented matador style of tackling cost a second and third round draft pick, he's got to be in the discussion of worst in franchise history.

Who else got your blood boiling?

Buchanon
Don't forget about the salary we have wasted on him along with those 2 picks.  Does anyone seriously think that we couldn't get a decent DB in Round 2?
We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.

Too many to narrow
This question has to have multiple answers.  Matt Stevens perfectly personnified the struggling infant stages of the franchise.  His backpedaling, flailing ways led to significant increases in alcohol sales at Reliant Stadium and nighttime tremors for many a Texans' fan.  Considering the circumstances surrounding their acquisition, both Jason Babin and Philip Buchanon are lightning rods to the nth degree.  In the end, though, it's got to be David Carr.  He's been bad, consistently, since the birth of the franchise, and his failure to improve even slightly over half of a decade in the NFL, his obsession with his hair and his laissez faire, surfer-boy attitude rate him at the top of my list.

Very, Very True
Everyone can read my previous posts to see what I think of Carr.

However, the naysayers can't blame the offensive line for Buchanon's sucktastic performance.

BFD takes the crown...

Careful, Fellas
With all this Casserly-bashing, you'll enrage Scott, who trumpets himself as the last Casserly apologist in the State of Texas.  He named his first born son after Casserly, for chrissakes.  His blind devotion knows no bounds.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

I'll take my chances
He's been to busy at work to chase us down anyway...

Hmmmm...
By any chance, was Scott drafted by Casserly?  If so, I'll take my chances with Scott in the open field.

Did you know that
C-Cass took his first job on a pro bono basis, eating PB&J sandwiches in a closet at the local YMCA?  This guy is an American hero...the George Washington of the NFL, if you will.  OK, maybe that's a stretch...how about the Millard Fillmore of the NFL?

Who cares?
Well, I'm sure somebody does.  But my point is that he could have cured cancer, AIDS, & smallpox before coming to the Houston Texans.

That doesn't mean that he is forgiven for sucking so very, very bad during his tenure here.

Here's to wishing him well in future endeavors...just not in Houston.
