Okay, now I'm getting nervous. Who wants to volunteer & go to Schaub's house to kick his ankle hard enough to prolong his injury?:thinking:

Several of you are focusing on Gary's man crush on Schaub, but if you've been paying attention, he seems to have a man crush on Case as well. I think Schaub's injury will hang on longer than they've said thus far & Case will get the start against Indy.
 
I think he's going to start Keenum. Simply because he likes calling plays for Keenum. He gets to use all his WRs, he gets to take shots in the end zone, & Keenum is more likely to make a big play when you need one.

Having said that..... the guys saying Case outplayed Schaub, are we saying he outplayed Schaub straight up? or are we saying considering he's basically a rookie he outplayed Schaub?

Are you saying that Schaub is going to be holding a boombox in the rain outside of Kubiak's house?
 
Even I think Case should start after the bye. Let's see what the kid has. He certainly didn't do anything to warrant being benched; unless it's he didn't throw a pick 6.

My opinion on whether Kubiak needs to be fired in the off season rests on this decision. Keenum should start.

I agree with that. This decision won't just say a lot about Kubiak. It will be like a 300 decibel scream echoing through the mountains about him and how he makes decisions.

Maybe McNair will tell him who he's going to be starting in two weeks. Might be the only way to get the right decision made. Just take the decision away from him so he can't screw it up. Worked with hiring a new DC.

I'm sorry I cannot support this suggestion. Bill didn't answer the bell when called upon before; what makes you think he'll answer the call this time?!?

I don't know Bill. Never met him.

But just judging from posters on this site I think Bill would rather be choreographing the cheer leaders routines.

well if I was the coach and schaub was at least 90% healthy I would.................................Nah


u know what I think keenum showed some spark I think kubes should coach dis kid up for 2 weeks during this bye give him all the reps and heck yeah start keenum one more time

besides im sure that would give Matt more time to rest


so yeah I say lets start Keenum


also the thing is I wonder if Kubes will see the Rookie effect cuz when yates played we couldn't score more then 21 points right maybe he thinks keenum will hit that wall and be unable to score more then 21 points

maybe he wil think hey when matt plays well he is capable of putting up 31 points

I'm sorry but I must object to this sexist statement. Some my all-time favorate bad-a$$es don't have testicles; you, Steph, Condi Rice, the Iron Lady Thatcher, Benazir Bhutto, Anne Richards...

I voted Keenum because of Kubiak's comments after the game. He said two things in particular. He said the team found its heartbeat, and he said if the team plays like they played yesterday, they're going to win a lot of games. If he was planning to play Schaub again, I think he would have been a bit more tempered in his response. It's Keenum until he fails.

He outplayed Schaub straight up.


The offense had more big plays against the leagues best defense than it had all season.
Schaub's at least had a running game to support him .... Keenum had .... Nodda and still looked better IMO.
(Schaub managed to lose two games in which they rushed the ball 30+ times)


Here's the QBR's from each team the Chiefs have faced this season -

Jax - Blaine Gabbert - 30,8
Dallas - Tony Romo - 99.1
Philly - Michael Vick - 49.4
NYG - Eli Manning - 64.8
Tinbreds - Ryan Fitzpatrick - 57.7
Raiders - Terrelle Pryor - 45.7
Houston - Case Keenum - 110.6


Matt Schaub's QBR for the season - 78.8

Vs the Rams 98.5
Vs San Diego 110
Vs TenBreds 76.6
Vs Baltimore 72.8
Vs Seattle 81.6
Ve 49ers 32.2


This offense looked totally different from the get go with Keenum.
 
I voted Schaub and he needs to get on field to create some sort of trade value. Can anyone verify this is Kubiak last contract year?

The following was written 2010: "The Head Coach of the Houston Texans, Gary Kubiak was given a 3 year contract extension during the offseason. Kubiak heads one of the most prolific offenses in the league. John McClain described him as “honest, genuine, hard-working and devoid of ego.“, a very rare combination to find in an NFL head coach. When he received his contract extension, Kubiak turned down a 4 year offer because he wanted his contract to be the same length as his assistant coaches."

Can't believe you bit on that. If TK was a qb he'd have burned most of us for 6 by now. :)

Dude, he outplayed Schaub straight up. That's not necessarily saying much, but he did. The only game this season where Schaub hit a 110 rating was against SD. He had a half dozen such games last season and a few more where he was close. Keenum will have bad games too - all QBs do, even Brady, Brees, Manning, and Rodgers. But this was a good one. Not great, but good.
 
im sure kubes wants schaub but he wants last years schaub or hell 2009 schaub


when he would just torch any Defense and throw up like 31 points a game

Agreed... Now Kubiak is gonna preach, "we're gonna be smart with Matt and bring him along carefully; not try and rush him back too soon."

Translation:
Case is da man until he screws up bad.
 
Keenum played well against the Chief's defense. He bought time and made plays Matt Schaub only dreams about. Kubiak would be an idiot not to start Keenum moving forward.
 
Keenum. If GK wants to be successful and keep his job, he has to start making moves that are not popular and not based on loyalty but on winning and keeping his job. I think he knows that if he starts the SchaubTANIC, that he is going down singing on Matt Schaub's deck. :ant:

On February 2, 2010, with a year left on the original deal he signed, the Texans' signed Kubiak to a three-year contract extension through 2012.[9] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kubiak

Next year would be his last year under contract, AKA the lame duck year which good coaches aren't supposed to be left with one year, If I am reading correctly.
 
lol at Schaub's trade value. Keenum made Schaub look awful in just a few series. You have to question Kubiak for making Yates the number 2 guy this season as well.

#FireKubiak
 
Keenum. I don't think schaub will play after the bye week. I would be shocked if he played before week 11 and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he's gone for the season.

His ankle injury was pretty gruesome looking and it's a wonder nothing was torn or broken. Has anyone heard any information regarding his ankle?
 
I can't imagine anyone trading for Schaub. I think Schaub is either a back up or stop gap player at this point in his career.
 
Should Keenum start? Yes.
Will Keenum start? I don't know. If Schaub is healthy then Kubiak is likely to do what makes sense to him and only him.
 
Kubiak steps up to the mic for today's press conference.

John McClain wipes the powered sugar from his molester mustache and focusses his gaze on the coach.

McClain: "Coach, who will be your QB coming out of the bye week?"

Kubiak: "I'm not sure right at this moment. Someone will have to make a good...

CASE."

YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I think it depends on whether or not Schaub still has the locker room. Keenum made some exciting plays, especially the off schedule ones, but it's not like he had the offense running up and down the field. For all of his mobility, he was still sacked 5 times, fumbled twice and gave up the game winning TD.

As beautiful as Keenum's deep ball is, Schaub still gives you the best chance to win on Sunday. He's not going to chuck a pick 6 every week, despite the fan hysteria.

If Schaub doesn't start, It's either because he's lost the team or he's still injured. Keenum looks like the heir apparent at this point.

Seriously, we had no healthy running backs for Case, no running game, couldnt hardly use play action and noone to give him good protection like foster provides and ur complaining about 5 sacks ? How many times u thin Schaub would of been sacked ? God only knows....

Schaub does not give us the best chance to win. Keenum does.

I think the only reason Yates was #2 was he knew the playbook better than Keenum. I don't think I saw 1 Kubiak play from Keenum all game. He was mostly in Pistol formation.
 
I'm going to guess Schaub will be "not fully recovered" even after the bye so Kubiak can get at least one more look at Keenum, i.e., the decision will be delayed.

puss·y·foot
intr.v. puss·y·foot·ed, puss·y·foot·ing, puss·y·foots
1. To move stealthily or cautiously.
2. Informal To act or proceed cautiously or timidly to avoid committing oneself.
3. Informal Gary Kubiak answering questions at Texans press conferences when pressed on decision-making choices.
 
IlliniJen said:
If the question is asked today at the presser, I guarantee the response will be:

"Well, we'll have to evaluate where Matt is with his recovery. Right now I don't know how far along he'll be, so I can't answer that question."

Now, if he's asked who's going to start if both men are healthy, Kubiak will say:

"Well, we'll have to evaluate them both in practice and make a decision from there."

He's going to avoid that question like Neo going into bullet time to avoid getting shot. He's going to pull some Matrix-esque crap on the press room and be complete non-committal.

Which leads me to believe he'll build a case (no pun) for Schaub.

But this season is lost and the ONLY shot of saving his job rests with Case.

I WANT case to start, but my head says Gary will go back to Matt, who is his doppelganger in mind, spirit, and body. Not a testicle to share between them.

listening to 610 with Kubiak.. thats exactly what he said more or less LOL
 
kubes just said Matt his "Our" starting QB


if matt is healthy and plays well in practice then he will start period
 
House of Pain said:
It would be nice to see what Case looks like with Arian out there. I'm not saying he would or wouldn't do better, but he basically played the majority of the game without a RB. I think the ability to have Foster as a blocker and safety valve hurt the Texans significantly. It's too soon to tell what we have with Case, but Schaub looks like a defeated man out there.

It wouldn't do anything but help, he played 3 quarters without a RB! If Schaub was out there we wouldn't have even been in the game.

u don't know that for sure there are like 2 sides of matt one that u have seen and one that takes care of the ball and gets the ball out of his hands and makes plays
 
what's the point of going back to schaub after seeing what Keenum did in kc?

totally pointless. setting up schaub for more humiliation especially from the home crowd if he goes back to schaub after what keenum did.

If the players thought the fans have been too tough on schaub, watch what will happen if you name schaub starter again over keenum.

Fans will be relentless in booing any incomplete pass by schaub. It would just wreck your team emotionally and psychologically. You cant go back to schaub after what keenum showed.

Fans will never let up.

I do know that for sure. Another thing I know for sure is you've never seen Schaub play a game without a RB on the field for almost the whole game.
 
Kubiak: ‘Matt’s our starting quarterback’

http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2013/10/kubiak-matts-our-starting-quarterback/

Case Keenum was solid in his NFL debut, a 17-16 loss at Kansas City, but he didn’t change coach Gary Kubiak’s mind about the starting position.

“Matt’s our starting quarterback,” Kubiak said of the veteran Schaub. “Case played this week.”

Kubiak said he would re-evaulate the position during the Texans’ bye week.

Eff. Gary. Kubiak.
 
I'm using the same logic that I used this past week...

If you have to think about it, then that favors Case. Matt has been the starter for how many years now? If Kubes was so sure then there is nothing to think about here.

The only thing to think about is to grow a pair and think of a way to break it to Matt and tell him he's not playing this upcoming week.

Who do y'all think gets the start. I assume Schaub will be healthy.

Does the city riot if Kubiak goes with anyone other than Keenum?

Gary Kubiak is going to start Matt Schaub against the Colts on November 3. Sunday Night Football and primetime game on NBC for the entire country to watch. You didn't think he was going to start a promising QB like Case Keenum for a second straight game did you? I'm only being sarcastic but wow. I can't believe Kubiak is going back to Schaub.
 
I have to hope this is just coach speak and not indicative of a really stupid decision.
