Kubiak acknowledged that the status of the TexansÂ’ first-ever draft pick was a story, but divulged little as to the quarterbackÂ’s future in Houston .

“I know that’s a big topic right now,� Kubiak said. “All I can say is that David will be evaluated like every other player on this team. In this league you make those decisions using people’s opinions and a lot of different views. We’ll go back and revaluate our cutups and we’ll take into account every coach’s opinion.�

Cleary, Carr isnÂ’t going to be the only player under review in the coming weeks and Kubiak revealed Monday how he and his staff will evaluate each player on his team.

“Our defensive coaches need to be a part of our offensive evaluation and our offensive coaches need to be part of our defensive evolution so that’s what we’ll be doing the next couple of days,� Kubiak said.

As he continued to be pressed on Carr as reporters searched for a vote of confidence, Kubiak instead offered the same promise that heÂ’s been preaching for weeks to the media.

“He’ll be evaluated like everybody else and it’s going to take some time and then we’ll decide what we’re going to do next,� Kubiak said.

When a reporter finally suggested that perhaps there were going to be no other better options available during the offeseason than Carr, Kubiak agreed and shifted some of the quarterbackÂ’s problems to him and his staff.

“It’s easy to look at one position on your team and say we need to go get better at this spot, but sometimes getting better at that position means coaching better,� Kubiak said. “You don’t just make quick decisions in making personnel and change this and change that without thinking…You might be staring at the best option if you just coach better.�
