Hey, if Schaub gets hurt while leading the Texans to a win in the championship game, we will still be going to the SB.

While Beck seems to be improving under pressure, he only attempts one deep throw in the PS and he was late and short on that pass (to KMart).

We can cut Beck and put Keenum on the PS.
The odds are Beck can be resigned pretty much anytime.

Keenum is a system QB that comes from a school that has produced system qb's that fail in the nfl. He is to short and has a weak arm. If he was'nt from a local school none of you would give him a second look. If you don't believe me then.....

There are a ton of articles just like this that say the same thing.

Btw, Keenum was waived:

Tania Ganguli ‏@taniaganguli

That's two we know about, Loiseau and Keenum waived. Both would have to clear waivers before possible to put them on practice squad. #Texans

[HOU-TEX]

Looks like we're carrying 3 QBs.....for the time being

Tania Ganguli‏@taniaganguli

QB Beck has made the 53-man roster said a person familiar with his status. So the #Texans will carry three and likely put Keenum on P squad

I watched about 85% of his game.
I have several game tapes on him.
I know what he's about.

That system he ran has a lot of simliraties to the system that RG II and Weeden ran, OK!

And BTW, Kubiak said Keenum has a good arm (in the most recent press conference).

You got me.

[speedfreek]

I can understand the cutting of Keenum if you think there's a good chance you can PS him.

I don't get the keeping of Beck. If we get to QB3 we're done. I'd rather be tanking games than keeping a guy that's never stuck anywhere.

It's silly to even do it. I'd be loading up on all of the available free agent o-linemen to protect Schaub rather than wasting a spot on a guy that's never performed when the games really mattered..

I'm concerned about the line and believe that's why Yates really look like he took a step back in the last few games..

I'm disappointed that Case did not make the 53 roster but I'm not surprised. Let's hope he develops more skills on the PS.

At least, Beck has shown improvement playing under pressure.
Could very well be that Beck has shown enough improvement in practices, too.

On the other hand, it might be a strategy to let the other teams think that Keenum couldn't beat out Beck, so he must not be any good.
I know it's a conspiracy theory, but heck, I thought I just throw it out there, LOL!

[PapaL]

But but but we should've drafted him with our 4th pick. He's gonna set the league on fire.

I'm sorry but the guy just isn't NFL good. Maybe he'll do well in the AFL or the Lingerie League. He's just not an NFL QB.

[76Texan]

I don't know about other people, I've never said that Keenum will set the league on fire.

We may not be going to the superbowl if our qb's start going down but we are way to good to be tanking games. Our defense alone gives us a shot to win most games.

What if Matt goes down for a couple of weeks and then TJ gets hurt. Maybe we need a qb for 1 or 2 games to help us till Matt gets back. Would'nt you want a guy who has been on our roster all year preparing to play rather than a guy off the street.

[speedfreek]

Dude, he's thrown 16 passes. What credentials do you have to say he isn't NFL good?

I understand the hate for Case-lovers, but not the hate for Case..

He's just getting his troll on. Only the most foolish Keenum fans thought he'd light it up as a rookie. He's a player you develop if you have that luxury and inclination. Kubiak will keep him around for a little while just because he's a scrapper who doesn't give up. Eventually he'll have to step up to the next level or Kubiak will move on to another project.

Which is pretty much what most of us wanted for Case, a chance, and an extra chance again on the practice squad if need be. I'm now hoping he clears waviers so he can be on our PS.

OK, I just went over to coogfans.com. Good Lord there are some blind homers over there that have no concept of NFL football. But still as bad as they are, they can not hold a candle to the VY fans.
