atlanta, jacksonville, & cincy are 3 of the better defenses we have faced all season, all in the top 10. a perfect example of why saying the team would score more with schaub has no truth to it.. its about quality of the teams weve played.. we saw how this team scored against teams with a good defense when schaub was slinging it.. again... @ravens 14 points, steelers 17, jacksonville 21.. the team putting up 17, 20, 20 against atlanta, @jax, & @cincy seems like a normal game for this team going up against a quality opponent.. all the teams weve blown out or scored 30+ against this season are in the bottom half of defense ratings..
Explain this. There is nothing that I can see that shows any of those three teams being at top 10 pass defense. If you're going to make assertions like that, at least have the decency to do your own homework and backup easily provable conclusions.
Passing YPG allowed rank, Cincy 11, Atl 17, Carolina 18
Avg QB Rating allowed rank, Cincy 20, Atl 14, Carolina 28
On the other hand, some of Schaub's opponents:
Passing YPG allowed rank, Pitt 1, Cleveland 3, Jax 4, Balt 5, Oakland 23
Avg QB Rating allowed, Pitt 4, Cleveland 11, Jax 18, Balt 2, Oakland 10

And just for kicks in regard to this: "17, 20, 20 against atlanta, @jax, & @cincy"
Our scores against these teams with Yates at QB ATL 17, Cincy 20 and Carolina 13
Avg Pts given up per game by them: ATL 20.1, Cincy 20.2, Carolina 26.3
Now looking at that, would you say our offense is performing above or below average? Would you say we scored more or less points on average against those teams? Would you say we would score more or less points with a healthy Matt Schaub in the game? Why?
