All Encompassing Matt Schaub Thread

Wow, mods are busy tonight.

They deleted my thread suggesting we lose out so we can get the #1 overall pick (have to loose to Jacksonville twice) so we can draft a QB.

Guess they will delete this post as well......

Oh well, doesn't make the team any better. I have been a fan since the Oiler Days and not going anywhere, but this team sucks big sour pickles right now.
 
Where's Nitrofish ..... Someone has to stick up for Schaub.


I really want to hear the excuses he can come up with after this asswhoopin.

Why not do it for a half down 21-0? Maybe it wakes him up. The point of a benching is to get someone's attention.

wouldn't be an issue if he'd have benched him at the end of last week's game. We'd be past this point right now.
 
I look at Schaub like Romo...though Romo has more skill to make something out of nothing. But you have to make it where the guy throws a minimal amount of time before brain farts. The running game worked tonight. Too bad the passing game got you down so you stopped using it.
 
tired of hearing, "best chance to win".. best chance to win what exactly.. certainly not a super bowl.. youre almost hurting your franchise holding on to something..

Not to mention an outstanding job by the defense for the most part.


Kaepernick is only 6/15 113 yards and you lose by 31 ?!

I know how you feel. Oh well, on to the Rams game.

Prepare yourself though. Matt Schaub will likely start.

You have got to be ****ing kidding me. 3 INTs. Schaub is killing us. TJ Yates can't do worse

It doesn't matter if he can. Schaub doesn't deserve to be on the field. If Yates comes out & throws 3 INTs in the game.... so the fk what. But he needs to do that before Schaub starts for this team again.

At this point, Schaub has to prove to the rest of the team that he can get the call under center. He has lost this job, whether or not Yates or Keenum deserves to start. Schaub has not played well, and has lost games for his team.

If Yates comes out there and stinks it up, then I still think you go to Keenum before you go to Schaub until Schaub can prove he's the starter
 
no offense fellas but imo, Schaub is killing you guys! he is INT prone! pick 6's to be more specific. it may be time for you guys to move on and find another QB. your thoughts?
 
why dont people not want to give keenum a chance?

i mean give him a chance to fail at least before writing off the idea as ludicrous.

Why not give him a chance?

I've seen nothing from Keenum that suggests he's any better than Yates. They are probably equivalent at best. Start one over the other, but it's crazy to think Keenum's the savior we need.

If Keenum meant we go 13-0 from this point on, I'd take that deal in a heartbeat. But if you think that is actually going to happen, you're either a student at UH or grasping for straws.

Who said they don't want to give him a chance? I'm willing to bring Chris Brown in & give him a chance to be our starting QB

I don't see what he's done to deserve a shot before Yates to be honest. I like him, but I think you roll with Yates for at least a few games.

As a corollary to my earlier statement, I'd point out that only people who make such concrete statements run any risk of being proven wrong.

Christ, I really hope Kubes puts in Keenum so either we win or this insufferable Keenum love just stops. I'd be happy with either situation.

None of us have seen anything from Keenum yet.


What we have seen is Matt Schaub , we can see he's all but washed up.

We have seen Yates , what he showed us was that he was nothing more than a capable backup.


I'll take the unknown upside of Keenum while the games still matter over Yates.


If Keenum should succeed , fail or look like a backup ... at least we know what we have now with all three of them.

You pretty much proved his statement to stand true.

And I just don't understand what is so hard to understand about this philosophy at this point? We know what we have with Schaub and Yates. We don't know what we have in Keenum just yet. We do have potential though. Lets see what he can do in a real game. How can it be any worse than the alternatives?
 
I'm hoping the Texans' defense has been struggling because they've been practicing against Keenum running our offense & not the scout team offense. Hopefully Kubiak's been teaching Keenum our offense, getting him ready to start.

This point seems a little strange to me, since it assumes Yates has done nothing since he played for us in 2011. We don't know if Yates has improved or not, either, since all we've seen out of both Keenum and Yates is preseason performances, which can be pretty misleading.

However, I'm fully aboard the start Keenum train just because I'm tired of all the Keenum nuttiness on this board. Either he wins for us and and I'm happy, or the Keenum love stops, and I'm happy.

Well, I was wrong. I thought Schaub was better than this.
I was wrong.

We should start Keenum or Yates. Schaub has got to earn his way back under center as the starter.

And it doesn't necessarily have to be in a Texans uniform

how does one conclude that weve seen what we need to see from yates??? just asking, are you basing this off what he did as a rookie?? or the couple of appearances in blowouts last year?? it took you guys 7 years to finally see the light with schaub. but tj, 8 games, from his rookie season and youve seen enough?????

i say both guys are pretty unknown and probably not the answer..

I think he's busy organizing the next Rally for Schaub I hear there's gonna be a huge turnout.
 
How can anyone say they know what Yates is?

Based on some games during his rookie year when he was thrust into a starting role on a first time ever play off team?

The only qb on this team that we have a good idea of what he's about is Schaub.
 
I'm fine with Yates getting the start. If he doesn't get it done, then I think Keenum gets the nod before Schaub does. I think all 3 need to be on a short leash though.
 
Me personally, i just cant believe kubiak would be that negligent to not at least open the job up if there was any thought that keenum could be the guy.....if there is/was and he still did what he did, then that's just 1 more reason kubiak should be fired...

I mean lets be real here, keenum is 3rd string for a reason....if he had the real potential you guys think he has, i have to believe that kubiak would've at least had him as the clear back up behind Schaub going into the season.

Aside from that, i dont think i've EVER heard of a guy becoming a successful starting Qb in the league for a sustained amount of time coming from 3rd string...that just doesnt happen.

Tom Brady was 4th string

I think Keenum has to be the guy for now. You have to see what's on the roster in case you need to look towards drafting a QB. While Yates might be better than he was in 2011 I think his ceiling is still a serviceable backup that can fill in when needed. We need to see if Keenum can be the guy or look at a day 1 guy.

You don't have to be a top 10 QB to be great.

Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Big Ben were all out of the top 10.
So were Wilson and Kaepernick.

The last 2 aren't great, but tbey'd be improvements.

If i recall, he came into camp as 4th string, but by the time the season rolled around He was the clear back up the year he came in for bledsoe.....not the same situation as we are in...

Kubiak is loyal to people.

He's not just going to replace Yates based on any potential keenum shows. Yates has been a good boy, so he'll get first dibs.

Then after that, keenum would be next.

Kubiak isn't going to rock the boat. Everything has it's place.
