Ring, ring - Hello, mini-Shanny? What do you need for Cousins?

If we can upgrade, sure, but its gonna be hard to find a franchise QB out there...

Matt's biggest problem, I think, is that when he & Kubiak are going over the game plan & the script, he needs to say, "Coach, give me the ball. Let me get a lead, then hand it over to Foster. I'm not going to run for a first down, I'm not going to extend any plays, but I can pick apart a defense if I have enough options."

That being said, I hope we take a long, hard look in the upcoming draft to see if we can find a guy we think can be top 10.

you mean like draft a qb or bring in someone to challenge him. i'm all for it. wont be hard to unseat if this is serious

We got away from it & I can kinda understand, after Brady marched down the field to start the second half, Kubiak wanted to keep the ball out of his hands.

We won the T.O.P..... by a little over 2 minutes. Most likely because the Patriots took a few knees (??) but we didn't score.

I'm not the biggest Schaub fan, but I don't see us getting rid of him or bringing in competition or a future replacement. Hopefully we can get rid of Walter & go more 4 & 5 WR sets.

so next year will be more of the same.

What do you mean if I'm serious? Everybody would be happy with an upgrade at QB. There is just a differing opinion on what an upgrade is.

Actually, Seattle might answer the phone if we were inquiring about Matt Flynn...

790 just played a clip of Kubiak saying that he has confidence in Schaub and that he is still the leader of the team.

Schaub will continue to be the leader of the team. Of that I have no doubt. This situation will remain unchanged until he either loses the team or his presence/play begins to adversely affect the majority of followers of the team.

welp

And there you have it. Kubiak should be fired for that statement alone.

I want one too.

It's a media statement.

Not sure what else is he to say but that?

[fiasco west]

At the same time, I hope it's just a media statement.

No reason IMO to have Schaub locked in as the #1 guy moving forward.

Either bring a guy in like Smith to at least challenge Schaub or draft a QB...you never know with those guys. Wilson and Kaepernick were drafted 3rd and 2nd round...

How about....

"Well John *thump thump thump* we will be evaluating all of our players this off season."

I'm pretty sure Baltimore & San Francisco said the same thing this year. So far, neither has done anything they haven't done already.

Atlanta... if some of you ran the Atlanta Falcons, you'd have got rid of Matt Ryan & most likely be at the bottom of the NFC South. Instead, they're going on to the NFC Championship game.

Denver.... did they do anything different than last year? They went & upgraded their QB position, but were one & done. Last year, at least they won a play off game.

I don't know what next season has in store for us, but I'm looking forward to it. & I'm looking forward to debating with you guys about what it means.

Still looking at results instead of how the team plays....

Flacco, San Fran, and Denver were better teams this year.

Denver got a first round bye with manning and were competitive against a good ravens team. They were a few plays from winning. Yeah the results are the same, but that doesnt mean Tebow = Peyton.

I don't think it matters any ways.

Harbaugh again was saying Alex Smith was the guy until recently...I wonder if he'd still tell the media that if they even cared about it now.

It's just a blanket media statement. It's like how Belichick every week acts like the next team they are going to play is a elite team even if they haven't won a game yet.

Lets wait to see the actions instead of condemning him for a thing most coaches would say.

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Come on now, do you guys expect Gary to say something extreme to media right after NE game? Likely Gary really thinks Matt is good enough but, when you give enough time to rethink about situation, people tend to change their mind.

[Rey]

When we got rid of Carr I think Gary said the sane things.

Schaub isn't going anywhere, but even if he was gary's not coming out right after the game and even hinting at the possibility.
