I think Leinart will surprise people, he's no Schaub but i don't think he was given a fair shake in Arizona and think he'll be out to prove he can be a good QB in this league.

Think of it like USC. Foster, Tate at running back, Andre at wide receiver, an abundance of tight ends and solid possession receivers.

If he plays within the offense like he did at USC we can win with him.

I would be ecstatic with average. I'm preparing myself, however, for David Carr levels of disappointment.

Does this mean we are going to have to settle for 10 point margins of victory instead of 20?

Seriously though, can Leinart:

Hand the ball off to Foster? Check
Hand the ball off to Tate? Check
Throw a short pass to Foster? Check
Mix in some throws to Dre and Daniels? I believe he can.

I'm actually a little excited to see what kind of game Leinart brings to the table with our starting offense in tact around him. I'll give you a hint, its going to be similar to what we have been doing, RUN RUN RUN RUN PA. And this is coming from a big Schaub fan and someone who thought he might have been having his best season.

I LOVE the fact that the Titans and even the Jags think this is all but eliminating us from the division title. Won't happen. We are still cruising to 1st place. Defense and running game are playing too well and we have legit weapons in the passing game. Now what kind of seeding and how far we go in the playoffs are going to be determined by how well Leinart plays. I hate that we have to wait a week to find out.

Team should still be able to win without the better Matt 1.

Matt 2 can't be that bad that he makes everyone else on the team worse. Including the defense.

The Titans, Jags, and Colts still are not better than this team without Schaub currently. I don't expect to make a run at the superbowl though, but I never really expected that this year.

Holy crap, this is priceless. Someone needs to turn this picture into a meme that says something like:

Lol agreed. Those guys are dancing around thinking it's their shot now. Texans ran over both of those teams quite easily.

Hah...I have a friend that played WR in D1, and he said that catching a lefty ball isn't really any different with the exception that it looks weird seeing the guy throw it. I could see how that would still hinder Jacoby though...

Well, now people can see what this team is like without the guy and quite possibly they'll learn to appreciate him even though he isn't some high end clutch guy or elite QB. Or maybe they'll love the new team without him. Only time will tell, but Leinart will be the guy that dictates those decisions unfortunately.

Are you hoping for Lienart to fail just so "we" will see how "good" Schaub really is?


I like Schaub, but I know he has limitations & his arm strength is the least of them.

But can we please..... please, rally around our team?

Success for Lienart = success for this team = success for Houston = success for us fans.

[Buffi2]

Trying to look at this unemotionally which is practically impossible but -
1. Leinart, at one time, had some great skills
2. Kubiak is a QB coaching guru. I think that is true even if I don't believe he is the greatest head coach in the world.
3.If anyone can make Leinart successful in the NFL, it is Kubiak.
4.Given all of the backup QBs we have had, I'd rather put the next few weeks in Leinart's hands than any of the others.

And because I can't really be Little Mary Sunshine -
5. If Schaub can't come back for the play offs we are screwed.

[Hervoyel]

I'm going on record right now as saying that Matt "Hot Tub" Leinart is gonna EXPLODE over the last six weeks of this season netting us either a first round pick in trade after the season or a legitimate QB controversy.

He's older, he's wiser, and he's in the perfect offense for his abilities. All we've seen him do is play with scrubs and backups in preseason. Now he's going to have the first team offense to work with and two weeks to prepare for his return to prominence in the NFL. This is gonna be the comeback story that Bob McNair wanted to see out of David Carr. It's gonna have everything! Action! Adventure! Thrills! Chills! Women in bikinis! Women no longer in bikinis! Playoff WINS and an eventual Super Bowl victory followed by Matt Leinart standing in front of a camera at mid-field covered in confetti mumbling something about Disneyland while staring at Erin Andrews tits.

I **** you not. This is about to get Crazy-Epic!

When I get home I'm gonna Photoshop Leinart's face over the "Mayhem like me" guy in my avatar. Really "You're good!"

He's out for the year as per Schefter.

Maybe a lefty is what Jacoby needed all along?

[False Start]

Well, I wonder what Sage is up to?

Filed to ESPN: Texans quarterback Matt Schaub is out for the season with a lis franc injury. Matt Leinart from here on in.

omg why why why

[Dutchrudder]

You guys are all going into panic mode way too easily. Think about all the guys we lost this year and how we have gotten better as a team each time they go down! We obviously have the best depth in the NFL and should be a lock for the #1 or #2 seed now!

And the congregation said "Amen".

[False Start]

I mean damn, we went from talking about having the number one seed in the playoffs, to losing our starting QB for the season in the same day. I swear this literally ruined my day.

A little something to calm us all down...

This is what we've gotten ourselves into. ****

I'll take someone who can't toss a ball two feet into a little hole, that is not football.
Hints why it is called and arcade game.

I honestly have no idea how he will do, I could easily see it going either way but this is no indication.
