Schaub is Injured

Watching it on TV I could hear some cheers. Never wish an injury on anyone and I still think he gives us our best chance to win out of anyone on this team. I was hoping they would bring in Freeman and see what he could do.
 
Definitely heard it on the radio. Pissed me off so bad I had to turn it off. Way more embarrassed by that act than anything the team has ever done -- even draft Carr.
 
Pretty sure one poster here on my ignore list was cheering somewhere.

Awful to see our fan base turn into such a-holes.

Had to leave the game early for family reasons, but not before Schaub got hurt and then the crowd absolutely erupted in cheers for his injury and Yates entrance into the game. Other season-ticket holders around me and my brother thought that we were in Philly for a minute.

ohh god settle down with your fake outrage and moral indignation.

The entire city of houston was cheering.

You act as if the fans just killed his wife and kids after witnessing schaub get both legs amputated.

Its not that serious and frankly, a lot of people felt the same way.

Schaub has earned it.
 
I am sure Schaub is going to be ok.
I would not cheer for an injury, but he is a professional athlete making millions of dollars. As long as he does not die or get permanently disabled, then he can take whatever he has coming.
 
I don't think people were cheering Schaub's injury as much as they were cheering that he was finally getting off the damn field.

All that means is that they were rooting for an injury for business reasons, not personal reasons. They were still cheering an injury.

Yea, some stupid azz people somehow think it's cool or macho or whatever to cheer and applaud in situations like this with an unpopular or controversial player at QB. Just like the classless and cowardly jerks who would harass him at his home with his family.

I was personally excited to see Schaub get off the field. While injury was last on my list of thing I hoped to happen to get him off the field, I will take whatever I can at this point. Now we can finally move on and see what else we have at QB.

Well, the answer is not Yates; I can tell you that.

Riiight. And Philly fans weren't cheering Irvin's injury as much as they were cheering he was finally off the field.

Fans shouldn't cheer when a player gets hurt. They should act like they have some class.

Who cares. This isn't high school. He is not permanently injured. Such a random thing to be upset about. How is it any different to cheer or boo an interception, a fumble and a sprained ankle for crying out loud.

People get upset because they are told they should get upset over cheering an injury.

It is just a silly social convention with no merit.

Don't worry! As waynegg said, he wasn't cheering the injury, he was cheering the change!!

(He was cheering the injury and can't deny it)

I think we saw what we have in Yates, and it wasn't exactly looking like an upgrade.

For the record, I have said a many times that I don't believe Yates is the answer. I am rooting for Keenum to play over him. I already have mentioned that I think Yates is a ****ty QB.

When did I ever mention Philly? There is nothing wrong with fans cheering when an under-performing player finally gets knocked off the field one way or another. I personally would have preferred benching or cutting as that would have also shown that coaching/management has some stones. It's sad for Schaub that he got injured, but I would be lying if I said I was ecstatic that he is off the field for whatever the reason.

Quoted just for people to see your asshatery.
 
well we finally confirmed what's long been suspected: TJ's not the answer and Houston is right at the top of the most clueless, lame fanbases out there. Those dumbasses that cheered don't deserve a winning team to bandwagon on (and do the wave while watching) :rolleyes:
 
TJ Yates played averaged a few years ago and he hasn't played full time since the first time we made the playoffs I expect him to be trash now.

why do you want to see keenum? based on his good preseason v the scrubs? that '****ty' qb had just as good a preseason v the same competition. do the math :smiliepalm:

It might tell us how high we need to draft a QB next year, and even if the Texans had to trade up to secure one....
 
all the people that cheered matt's injury is sick and disrespectful. i'll be first to vote for case but I would never wish matt injury.

Save your pathetic moral indignation. Focus it on the crappy product on the field and not the fans who are rightfully angry and disappointed.

:yawn:

not even gonna get into it because there's no helping people like those fans (and yourself). all I will say is what's in the stands is even worse than the ****ty football on display at the moment. the players/coaches are failing at their jobs (which is a game at the end of the day). those fans are failing at life.

if a game (no matter how bad...and it was bad) causes you to act like that, time to take a long, hard look at your life. that might be where the 'pathetic' word is really required.

even the players aren't hiding it and acting all PC with this one

I see a lot of confidence in Keenum and I see him make throws to receivers that I simply don't see Schaub making. I was also never impressed with Yates. He just always seems a bit clueless or lost out there. Do I think Keenum is the answer? Nope. He has yet to prove anything. What I do know however, is that neither Schaub or Yates are the answer and have not been. At the very least, if Keenum goes out there and sucks it up, at least we know how much of a priority it is to draft a QB.

I personally think that Keenum outplayed Yates considerably in the preseason if it weren't for all the 3rd string baddies he had to play with.
 
I was at the game.

Some fans cheered when Schaub went down, but it was pretty quiet. More fans cheered when Schaub stood up and walked off the field.

Everyone went crazy when Yates entered the game.

Those first fans that cheered are douches. Most people didn't cheer while he was down. Of course the media will say that the stands were going crazy when Schaub was down.
 
Folks that were cheering for "change"....why not just keep your mouth shut while Schaub was being tended to and helped off the field? If you want to cheer for change, you can let it loose when Yates run onto the field, after Schaub is on the sidelines.

This is exactly how it was. It was pathetic for those that were cheering that he was down and I heard a couple that were definitely cheering that he was hurt. Most were cheering because Yates came in.

It's one thing to boo someone who isn't playing well and be happy if he gets replaced, but to cheer an injury is disgusting. It doesn't matter how much money he makes.
 
Also, I hope people start to understand that the terrible playcalling is responsible for this season. Yates looked terrible because of terrible, predictable playcalling. Schaub is not blameless here, but the playcalling has been so weak that it's hard to see how any QB would produce different results.
 
The team played poorly and fans should stop blaming Matt only. How many fans are going to go to houses of players this week or throw ice at them?

Well, that story was proven to be total BS first off. No, it's not all on Matt but he wasn't that great out there which a lot of that was on Kubiak play calling wise as well.

I wouldn't jump on the people who were upset at Schaub just yet. He's not clean in this.

noone went to matts home, they reported seeing people drive by taking pictures, nothing more....

And yes this game was not on matt only, but a few before today were 100% on him.
 
And people are "disgusted" and "ashamed" that some fans cheered when Schaub came off the field. He rolled his ANKLE, FFS! Good grief. This wasn't some head injury. If that were the case, it would be wrong. I don't support the fan who *supposedly* pulled into his driveway, but Schaub isn't in Iraq or Afghanistan dodging bullets for little pay. This guy is guaranteed 29 million dollars playing a fkn GAME. A game that he's not even great at. Contemplate that. Generations of his family have a great chance to be financially set, but hearing that people want him off the field when he hurt an ankle is too much? If that isn't the most soft-served sh*t I've ever heard of.
 
It didn't make him score more touchdowns ..... :kitten:


They had gone 9 quarters ??? without a TD until Tate punched it in late in the 4th.
 
It's pretty much a given at this point that Schaub's tenure as the starting QB for the Texans is coming to a painful end, but booing the man while he's laying on the ground injured is bad karma.
