Ah, Football!
Schaub has 5 INT's, which puts him right in the middle of the pack. 16 TD's to 5 INT's.....I'll take it.

Fair enough...but I REALLY wish he hadn't thrown that one in the LAST two mins of the Phoenix game...it proved to be crucial.

Schaub is underrated, but not sure why anyone is crapping on Rodgers to prove their point. Rodgers is THE reason why the Packers are competitive this year. he's an MVP candidate, if you look at the MVP as someone who's most valuable to their team. the guy has been simply stupid this year.

Agree with you. And he is doing it with one of the worst O-lines in football. His stats might be silly if he actually had time some games.
It was only a joke regarding the old Sage love.

I wasn't "crapping on Rogers," I was crapping on Cowher for crapping on Schaub in favor of Rogers.

He has an over 3 to 1 ratio going. That is excellent. For perspective, Schaub is running a 2% interception rate right now. In only one year of Montana's career did he better that.
I'm banning anyone who thinks that is a comparison of Schaub to Montana. It's just a reference point. j/k about the banning thing, but c'mon, don't go there.

I think they give him alot of time. He gets a cance to look deep alot. He is out of his mind right now, to be honest. Glad to see my faith in him was worth it.

If you normalize the numbers on a per-attempt basis, then Schaub is still have a very impressive year. In my mind, there are 20 starting QBs worth tracking this season (Schaub, Rogers, Brees, Peyton, Eli, Roethlisberger, Favre, Orton, Brady, Rivers, Romo, Flacco, McNabb, Palmer, Ryan, Warner, Hasselbeck, Garrard, Cassel and Cutler). We can pretty much presume the stats for the QBs of the other 12 teams are putrid. Against those 20, this is where Schaub ranks on a per-attempt basis.
TD percentage (6.43%): #3 behind, in order, Brees and Peyton
Yards per attempt (8.33 yds): #7 behind Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Peyton, Brees, Romo and Rivers
Interception percentage (2.01%): #9 behind Orton, Rodgers, McNabb, Favre, Rivers, Garrard, Brady and Peyton. In other words, the eight listed get picked less often than Schaub.
Sacks pecentage (4.60%): #8 behind Peyton, Brady, Eli, Ryan, Flacco, Brees and Orton.
QB Rating: #4 behind Peyton, Rodgers and Brees.
The only QB ahead of Schaub in every one of those categories is Peyton. In fact, Schaub and Peyton are the only QBs in the top 10 in each of the above categories. Brees is #13 in interception percentage. Roethlisberger and Rodgers are at the bottom in sack percentage (along with Jay Cutler). Brady is #11 in yards per attempt.
So even if you control for the number of attempts, it is apparent that Schaub is playing at an extremely high level so far.

I would love to see where our O and the respective individuals would be if we had a running game. I bet they would be through the roof. Every team in the league knows we can't run, but they still can't stop the pass. Schaub, while not perfect, has done an excellent job. He's hitting all the improvement milestones we were all bitching about last year: making better decisions and protecting the ball. One area that is seriously concerning me is his lack of arm strength. He's underthrown some balls that could've been picked off if the receivers hadn't broken then up or were dropped. Some of those were with pressure in his face or he was getting hit as he threw, but they are concerning, nevertheless.

So this is what he looks like when he doesn't have to sit for 4 games in the first half of the season.
I don't see how you can look at the stats and not be satisfied. He 's had one terrible game so far (jets), and I think the line is doing a decent job in pass pro.
Elite passing offense. Schaub has to get some credit for that.
