I think that we depend on Schaub to pull rabbits out of his hat (ie: get us 6 points rather than the accepted 3) when it seems that an average to above average QB could do much better.
The offense has to trust and believe in their leader--and contrary to what they say publicly, I just don't see that in their play.
