I have said this time and time again.

David Carr never learned to read a defense, locked on to his primary target, and held the ball far too long.

The Texans line wasn't good, but he was every bit as responsible for those sacks as those guys.

He took 44 sacks in his last season as a starter.
The following season, with Jordan Black as the only upgrade, that same line gave up 22 sacks.

Andrew Luck isn't nearly as bad at reads as Carr, but there is no question that he also holds the ball far too long, and bears as much responsibility for those sack numbers as his line.

If a QB is getting sacked 40 plus times, it isn't just the line's fault.
