Can you imagine though if he wore #8 in honor of his brother? All those jerseys reappear or get re-named again.

Insanity.

I say go trade for Ryan Mallet from the Pats and let Kubiak start grooming him. I think that kid as got a hell of an arm. 6'6. 235 and can run a little...

wonder if he has "it" upstairs though...

I've said before we should always be looking for our next qb especially while matt is playing well enough for him to sit ans learn. That being said I don't know when he comes out or what his projections will be but I like Brock Osweiler from arizona state a lot as a prospect. Big arm, acurrate and mobile.

makes more sense to look for a new WR... we need our Reggie wayne that dre can groom for a few yrs before retiring.

easier to find a WR than a QB though....

I bet after schaub we will be getting a Vet QB

You never know because the big paydays not there anymore and I think they all could go back .

He'd be #8 with Hulk on the back of his jersey .

At the very least we might be able to parlay that player into a nice draft pick.

This!

QB's are so valuable. If one falls that Kubiak thinks he can develop to take over for Schaub in the future or trade off for better assets it would be foolish to pass that up. Remember we gave up two second round picks for Atlanta's backup QB.

How high a round would you choose to snag a guy? Not challenging you, just curious.

As for me, he'd have to be pretty special for me to spend a pick in the first 3 or 4 rounds. He'd be someone who I would groom for a year - maybe two - then elevate up to #2 so I could trade Matty Hottub.

I'd like to think he is, but how long did Orlavsky stay on our roster?

But, I'd continue to look for a replacement, all the time. Matt Lienart might be that guy. Sure, he's no Kurt Warner & he couldn't produce in a system that no one other than Kurt was able to produce in.....

I'm not ready to see Schaub go or anything like that, but I would be interested to see how Lienart (or any QB not wearing 8) does with the talent we've got.

Last time Lienart had the best OL in the league, two dynamic RBs, & a pretty good defense, he did pretty good.

If he gets a chance & bombs.... **** can him & get another.

Trade away all of our draft picks for Andrew Luck.

Lienhart is a kind of scary thought, but I think the biggest thing for him is/was recover from Arizona. IMO he woudnt be near as good as Schaub, but you can't knock till you try it (or see it).

Gosh could y'all imagine if we would've drafted VY though?! Ugh the thought makes me sick.

I think schaub is the picture of system qb. Its not a knock, but he has to be manipulated by play calling. Talent wise, if you can draft a guy this year and have him sit for a couple of yrs, you do it. Yates is a schaub clone and leinhart is garbage.

"Matt Schaub here..."

Hi. 6-3 and well on the way to greener pastures. He's here and he's our QB :tear: Can't we just enjoy watching the games for now?

I think we would all like to avoid what happened to the Colts. Be more like the Packers.

The average NFL life is 3 years yes. That also counts all active NFL players, and not just due to injury. He has played for the Texans for 5 years though, and 2 of those he was injured for around 4 games or so each year.

I don't think anyone has been questioning Schaub's durability for the past 3 years. I think it is safe to assume with him on a 47 game start streak, or something along those lines, that he has a while to play still.
