pretty sure it was prior to the game

Shitty throw schaub is a winner.

[NitroGSXR]

He came back from a career-ending type of injury and has led our team to a 12-3 record (at worst 12-4). I could not be any happier. Schaub is a warrior.

[El Tejano]

I just want him to move away from pressure and make a completion on the run and not just throw the ball out of bounds or take a sack. That's all. I like Schaub.

Exactly. Just ironic that Schaub was running scared all game against the Vikings.

[Yesterday]

Can't recall the last time I saw Schaub put the slip on a defender (ala Roethlisberger, Luck, etc..). Would really like him to bulk up in the offseason. When he throws the ball it looks forced

My thing with Schaub has always been that he doesn't lose us games, and that when this team plays the way it is designed to, we don't need him to win us games. But this season his play, especially after the bye, has been sub-par.

I would nominate him for the block head award. He is regressing all season, and has played his worse when it has mattered most. I'm starting to rethink my long term support of him. He better turn it on and find another gear and soon.

Good thing we didn't sign him to a long-term contract...oh, wait...

Its no joke, he is probably the most deserving based on the prerequisites:

to recognize extra efforts both on and off the field and their ability to overcome great adversity.

and remember, his teammates think this of him.

[Hervoyel]

Brady's teammates play poorly in a victory over the Jaguars and Brady tears them a new fourth point of contact. Schaub's teammates vote him a warm and fuzzy feel-good award as the Texans slowly grind to an inept halt to wrap up their season.

I think I see a clear difference in the way these two men approach the game of football.

[EllisUnit]

"Courage" is in the awards name.

Schaub getting it has to be a joke for sure.

[GP]

Matt Schaub can take his award and melt it down, then form it into a hood ornament for his motorized scooter for all I care.

The hood ornament should be something representative of this team, though. Maybe it could be Schaub in a letter jacket, eating tofu, while riding a Segway?

This team ****ed up what was going to be a great season. I'm so pissed off.

Congratulations, Matthew. This award means so much to all of Texans Nation. You did it. You won.

[GP]

I, too, think the wrong guy won.

But that's par for the course. Everything there is scripted, contrived, "plastic."

Kareem Jackson has been nails this year, IMO. And before now, he had his back against the wall like no other player.

Gotta admit that I would hope so.
