Schaub or Luck for the rest of this season ONLY.

Just curious if Luck had gone through the preseaon with us
Who would you want for the rest of THIS Season only? I think all of us would take Luck long term (may be wrong) but how about just for the rest of this season?
 
I would be fine with either one. Luck would be very effective with our talent surrounding him, just Schaub would struggle with the Colts.
 
Just curious if JOHN ELWAY had gone through the preseaon with us
Who would you want for the rest of THIS Season only? I think all of us would take ELWAY long term (may be wrong) but how about just for the rest of this season?

Seriously? We got a win, Schaub played great. Let's celebrate and not sound like we have Locker or Gabbert as our QB.

John Elway is old. :)
 
You're asking whether I'd take our seasoned, veteran, smart, experienced QB that runs this offense like a machine over a rookie that has played two games in the NFL?

Seriously, dude?

OK guys very serious question..........

Our defense or the Browns defense :whip:

Thats the kind of question u just asked G...^^^ you agree my above question is dumb.
 
Luck duh. More upside. Plus the kid has the brain to pick up the system in an off-season. Plus he has the arm for plays schaub doesn't. Honestly RGlll would be nasty in this system with the talent around him. Anyone notice schaubs happy feet today? Just asking

Although he did look good today, lets not forget this is also the team the jags almost beat, the same team that made Gabbert look "Improved". Not gonna give him a key to the HOF yet. Based on previous seasons and our 2-0 record i would take schaub. Luck threw 3 picks against the bears who looked good 1 game.

Not exactly.

I understand the initial reaction to the OP & I agree. This is a complicated offense & Gary has his ways. I don't know that Luck would come in & command this offense the way he appears to have a handle on Indy's.

However, Luck is one talented mofo, much more talented than Schaub. I personally wouldn't trade Luck's talent for Matt's proficiency in our offense & I think that is what gafftop was asking.

Would you take Luck's athleticism over Matt's proficiency?
The Browns defense doesn't have one advantage over ours.​

Matt made a few head's up plays today, keeping plays alive, moving the chains. If he keeps that up, keep doing it on a consistent basis, I (a lukewarm Schaub fan) will find it hard to vote against him.
 
This season only should be Schaub no questions. From now until forever it should be Luck no questions.
 
Colts installed the Stanford system and the Redskins installed the Baylor system. Both in order to help their QB.

And Schaub is running Kubiak's system.

I'll take Schaub on this question.

Exactly. Kubiak's offense is complex, and our QB has mastered it. No way I'd take Luck.

People want to hand Luck and Griffith (Can't stand the RGIII nickname nonsense) a Lombardi Trophy. I say let's wait at least until they've played a full season before we start fitting them for championship rings.
 
I think we are perfectly fine with Schaub for this year. C'mon! We are 2-0. We don't need luck because we have skill. I don't really think getting rid of schaub and just relying on luck that our backup would be good is a good thing. Never rely on luck.
 
In essence, the Colts and Redskins gave up.

They said, " Aw geez, screw it! We aren't going to ever be able to get a QB to fit us. We'll bend to the QB and do things THEIR way."

That Mike Shanahan gave up, and installed the RGIII Baylor offense...is comical. Desperation time. It might work, granted, but it might not.

Same with the Colts.

Meanwhile, we have a pretty nice system that draws rave reviews from those who know what good NFL offenses look like. D- coordinators are never able to fully defend against it.

I think raw talent, like Cam Newton and RGIII, can maybe push things to the point they get their team to the top echelon.

Luck? He has his work cut out for him. There's a reason Stanford wasn't in the mix for a national title...Luck is not Superman. He just looks like a solid QB to me, not the x- factor he was made out to be. I think there's going to be some major letdown out there at the end if the season.
 
Not sure what the point of this hypothetical thread is but I would say that there is no question...Schaub.

I have only read thru a few of the posts in this thread but are there people out there that think that Luck is a better QB at this point?

There is no way.

The kid has a very tall cieling and an absolute cannon of an arm but he is a rookie and is showing it in the first two weeks.

I want the Houston defense to do to Luck what the rest of the NFL did to HWNSNBM. Sack him. Hit him. Make him run for cover and be afraid every snap.

When a QB gets sacked repeatedly it turns into a vicious cycle of "run for cover". I want the Colts to lose the next 7 years before they finally cut Luck.

I know, I know. Wishful thinking but I feel our defense can have the upper hand in this battle for years to come. In the past we built our defense to stop Peyton Manning. We are now at that point. Now Luck needs to hone his skills to beat our defense.

I know you hate TJ, but c'mon, he's at least won a playoff game and Luck has a mere two pro games under his belt. I think it's a valid debate that does not merit a homer-blast.

The Luck vs TJ is a much better thread than the original!

I'd take Luck over TJ. Yates handled himself well last year, but Luck looks like a good starting QB for alot of years.

This isnt asking about the future, it says the season ONLY. I would go with Yates based on the fact that he knows our offense.

Knowing the offense and executing it are 2 different things. I think Luck has a lot more upside, even this season, than Yates has even if he was named starter tomorrow.

I don't know...the argument could be made. If the Texans are pushing for a Superbowl THIS YEAR, then the argument could be made that Yates is preferable (if Schaub is injured).

I still don't know if I could buy into that though.
