How does the playbook change with a more mobile quarterback? - Page 2 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Uncle Rico · 01-27-2013

it would be nice to run a naked boot again. maybe even keep the defense off balance with the chance of a QB run. :sigh:

I don't know if it qualifies for changing the playbook, but pretty much any quarterback, mobile or not, would have more arm strength than the present guy and could throw a deep ball whether in the pocket or not. This would definitely give us more plays.

You don't need a QB like RG3,Wilson, Newton or any QB that can "run" All you need is a QB that can extend plays with his feet. He doesn't have to run a 4.4 40, just be able to move around and if everybody is covered, be able to get a few yards, maybe even a 1st down...

If you had a QB like that, this system would be extremely deadly. I think that is why the bootleg did not work like use to because other teams know Schaub isn't fast enough to get to the edge and run, he will just throw it away. Notice this year how many less naked boots Schaub ran this year compared to last few years?

I don't think it would change at all considering who the HC is. Kubiak is as stubborn as nails. The guy believes in his system and doesn't revert from it for anything.

How often have we seen plays die and schaub throws the ball away? If just half those went for some kinda gain by a qb scramble, we'd be a force to be reckoned with. As tex said though, kubiak is to damn stubborn. I will be livid on draft weekend if we dont select a qb in the 3rd round or earlier.

The Texans seem to go BPA every year almost, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if we didn't draft a QB. Hope we do as long as it is a guy with real potential. Don't want some Yates type of guy this time around.

This. I want to see a real effort or nothing at all. I don't want to see some throw away pick. If you think you are going to get the next Colin Kaepernick then sure take him. But don't just buy into some 6th round pick is going to be the next Tom Brady.

problem is the Texans are thinking they have 99 problems but QB ain't 1 of them...The O-line can be fixed, lack of LB depth can be fixed, Secondary help can be fixed, however...

a QB that is gun shy with little to no arm strength can't be fixed, and the Texans brass cannot see that. Until they do, until Gary does, they can draft all the Kaepernick's they want, he won't see the field until Kubiak man's up and makes the change and considering Schaub was "his guy", I don't see that happening...

Dread-Head · 01-29-2013

Maybe a couple of these

in our future?

Big Lou · 01-29-2013

Schaub picked up 11 yards on a scramble in the Pro Bowl.

When he knows the other team won't lay him out, he thinks he's RG3. LOL

El Tejano · 01-30-2013

In 2010 I mentioned that a lot of our close games that we lost could've been won by our offense staying on the field if we only had a QB that would see nothing open and run for the first down on 2nd and 3 or 3 and 5 etc...

All I got in response to that was "I don't want my QB being exposed to injury" or "Running is just not Matt Schaub's game". Here we are two years later complaining how our QB is not mobile enough.

Surreal McCoy · 01-30-2013

lol at everyone moaning about forcing the oppo D to be honest and have some 'backside contain' when Arian was ripping chunks out them where?

Oh my days.

Norg · 01-30-2013
