So you're not ready yet.. that's okay, unlike Flynn, the QB job is up for grabs here and Keenum will be here for awhile as will this thread. The Crow will always be warm for you to come back to later.


P.S.

Ed Reed sucks
 
I have never seen the Texans get so many yac like in the first half. Hopefully Case keeps it up.
 
He did great given the circumstances. No way am I disappointed in how he played. First game, first start, IN arrowhead, against a top 2 D in the league? Ill take it.

Overall, he did great. Sure he needs to make some adjustments, but he has a LOT of upside I will gladly take.
 
I defense of Case, we had no running backs, their DBs were tackling our guys before the ball was even thrown with no flags. u could tell that Tate wasnt right, the kid played very well IMO.

With no running game. Once KC figured that out in the second half, they loosed the hounds.

Case needs to work on identifying and adjusting to the blitz.

He burned the blitz a couple of times in the 1st half. The Chiefs made the proper adjustments and let their superior talent whip our OL.

Case does need to read the D better, though. He also needs to learn to protect the ball better in the pocket. All in all, I'm not surprised with his performance and think he did enough to start in two weeks. Just imagine the outcome if Schaub had been under center today. It would've been a sack and pick 6 fest. It would've been a slaughter instead of a close contest.
 
Not yet. He looked ok, but did nothing to show me that he is the future. I do think he could be a decent backup though.
 
Classic first time starter today. Looked great in 1st half because of no film. Looked very beatable in 2nd half after Andy Reid made adjustments.
He showed a lot today but some of you are ready to crown him our franchise QB after a fairly mediocre performance.

2 fumbles and a number of poor blitz pickups. Holds the ball too long. Part of that goes on the OL but this was not a breakout game IMO
 
Again it's one game..

How many Scott Mitchell, Matt Flynn, Kolb, etc, etc.. He looked good but second half he looked meh, he couldn't see the overload blitz, he should have rolled away, got the ball out quicker, etc etc.

Not ready to hand a multi million dollar contract and anoint him the new king.

You have to remember that there was no running game and Tate obviously wasn't right. I bet if Wood was active, the game would have played out differently. Just needed a running game.

.............rrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhtttttttttttt

Again not saying he IS the answer, Texans should be scouting QB's for sure.

But attempting to downplay Cases play to try to back up people opinion before the game today serves no one any good.

Yeah, ok. He made some nice throws. He made some ok throws. He made some bad throws. He showed good mobility, but could not pick up the blitz to save his life.

As someone pointed out, he looked worse as the game went on. That happens with 1st time starters- they look good at first, because the other team knows nothing about them. As they play and the other team gets a feel for them, well, they look worse.

He did enough for me to want to see him as the starter for the next game.

Way to jinx it

what did I jinx? and this thread exists for a reason.

Case played his ass off, proved he belongs, and solidified himself as the Texans future starter. It's not his fault we lost, Graham and Hopkins need to catch easy passes and we need a Oline. If Schuab would've started he would've gotten killed behind that type of protection

I have my daughter so I didn't drink today. My sober eyes that watched that game today saw something different than you did somehow. I saw horrible oline play, I did see Case burn a few blitz's but yeah not all (hello Schaub and Yates getting killed if they were in too there) I saw dumbass play clock management, horrible reffing, ridiculous play calling in some cases....did I mention oline play?

He had pressure in his face all damn day, IN Arrowhead against a bad ass Chiefs defense. I would assume most 3rd stringers who actually are garbage would have come out and straight sucked balls. THAT is what you NORMALLY see with 3rd stringers. Case was nowhere near that and actually made dare I say actual NFL throws Texans fans don't get to see unless they watch another team yet he's being downplayed. I literally cannot comprehend this as a legitimate argument? Not trying to go on the attack, I'm seriously just dumbfounded I'm seeing this from a few people.

I've mentioned that very thing several times today. I agree that Wood being active could've been a difference maker.

His offensive line couldn't pick up a blitz.. and what bad throws did he make? please list them. let's say we spend a first round pick on a QB and in their first start against a team who's

Number 1 in points allowed (btw Case led a team that beat that average and he would've smashed it if his receivers could simply hold on to the football)

was number 1 in turnovers allowed

and was

also number 1 in passing yards allowed.... (a UDFA completed big plays against them all day long)

If you spent a first round pick on a QB and that QB performed half as well as Keenum did, you'd be ecstatic.. he was our best player on the field today.
 
I don't like posting about case since I'm a UH grad and will get labeled as a homer, Etc. However, say what you will about the game today, anyone who would rather have Schaub or Yates out there THIS season is smoking rocks. If Keenum gets the play out the season, or at least a good stretch of games, the discussion of our future QB will have more meaning and direction. I want Case to be the guy, but I'd rather win so if he doesn't cut it over the course of the next few games then let's talk draft.

I'm not a UofH fan and I can say.. Keenum was not the reason why we lost today.. if he plays like he did today in every game he starts for us, we'll win football games. The Oline has to get better and the defense needs to recognize what a screen is or when a team only has one real threat (Charles)

Keenum's performance far exceeded my expectations and whether it happens here or somewhere else.. he's a starter in this league.

16 points with 1 td pass and two fumbles and a loss is 'ok'
He had some awesome plays but he wasn't consistently that way. He has a lot left to show but certainly a promising start that deserves more playing time
 
Case played a lot better the what I thought he would. The long td throw, the throw across his body and a good run. That said he did not play great anyone who thinks he played great still has rose glasses on. His two fumbles were him simply not being aware of what was going on or not wanting to take a sack. In both those plays we would have been better off with the oragami Schaub fold

I have no clue what game you're watching, but u give you credit. You managed to illustrate beyond a doubt that you know nothing about the game of football.
Ok, there's another possibility. You might actually be Vince young.

Yes we would have been better with Schaub because we could have been resting Cushing since the game would have been a blow out anyway.

Well I guess I have rose colored glasses on, because I thought he played great in the situation he was placed in.

Funny how the only people who are criticizing how he played are the same who were against his starting.. go figure.

The guy played great. In his first start he far exceeded my expectations and I expected him to play well

He didn't play great.

I guess there is no criticism on your part to case for those two fumbles?
 
I want to see him start again. I look at this game as a work in progress. Started the week supposedly splitting practice reps with Yates and hasn't started a real game since the 2012 Ticket City Bowl. I think there was a bit of real-game-speed "rust" there but I saw enough to see advantages over Schaub and I want to see where this goes.

Two weeks of first team reps and a home crowd against the Colts would be nice. Unfortunately we're probably going to see Gary trot out his boy Matt instead.
