Case Keenum to start Sunday

Espn radio just had a dr on and said he thought Schaub would be ready in a week or so. He didn't think there was any structural damage based on Matts activity since Sunday

This is Matt Schaub we're talking about. He has the superhuman ability to regrow and/or heal healthy tissue at 1/4th the speed of a normal man.

How limited do you think he has been with Schaub under center ?! :smiliepalm:

I agree with this, think back a few seasons ago with how much we used to boot leg, and how much it opened up the field, we have not seen that the last few years. Might see some more of that this sunday.

Very limited

What bothers me is that Gary would rather be limited with Schaub than giving Case a try. It took injury for Case to get his chance.

I'm very interested to see how Case does against a very good K.C. defense. I think we all know what Schaub would've done, so this is addition by subtraction. IMHO

Kubiak has always said that he does what he thinks is best for the team....if he felt he was so limited with Schaub as you and others have said...and he's got a guy on the bench he felt could relieve this burden...I have to believe he makes the move to go to the better option.

I think most here believe that had Schaub been healthy this week, he likely starts this week..

So I doubt he feels he's as limited as you guys claim he is. Some throws he asked Schaub to make certainly don't indicate he feels he's limited with him.

Gary gave Schaub a fair shake.. Well, more than fair. But, it's time to move on. If we suck with Keenum, oh well. We can put Schaub back in and continue to suck and draft a QB.

This is a win-win situation, and I am sure the players are happy with Kubiak's decision.

I am not convinced that Schaub is not healthy enough to play. This is the polite way to send Schaub to the pine. It's Schaub's limitations (mobility, pocket presence, arm strength, lack of grit, mental toughness, won't go through progressions, etc..) that forced Kubiak's hand.

Kubiak is fighting for his job too. He HAS to shake things up before he loses the locker room.

"I try to play to prove everybody right that’s believed in me, more so than play to prove everybody wrong," Keenum says. #Texans

Keenum said he read Drew Brees's book and took lessons from him as a fellow short quarterback and one who came back from injury. #Texans

Tania Ganguli ‏@taniaganguli 1h
Keenum shows more personality in here than Schaub, who goes to great lengths to hide his publicly. #Texans

"I guess I can officially say, this is going to be the best NFL defense I’ve ever faced," Keenum says with a grin. #Texans

CASE-SANITY
 
ill be damned!!!!! I think Case has serious potential but i dont wanna get my hopes up too high. Its his 1st game & were playing the best D in the league. It should be fun to watch tho. Hope Case shines on these boys!!!
 
Does Anybody sense a conspiracy here? First off, I'm happy Schaub finally sits the hell down. But I think Kubiak is scared to death to start slow a** Schaub against KC defense. He knows Matt will get killed, and I don’t even think he's hurting anymore. He should have started Case or TJ last week against the lowly Rams. But no, he wanted Matty to have the easy one to redeem himself and Matty still couldn’t get it done. So why not give the fans what they want and take the heat off from his boy and himself this week against KC. I don't think it's fair for Case to play his first game against KC's D but I wish him good luck. Kube, that's a cowardly move, man.

Or it could be your assumption is wrong and Matt is not healthy and Gary is starting whom he thinks offers best chance of a win. i do think he should have started Keenum against St Louis.

No. I don't see a conspiracy. I see Kubiak sticking with his guy through the early part of the season until the injury and now had to choose between two backups and he chose Case. Pretty straight forward.

Not really especially considering case would not be starting if Schaub was not hurt, i'm just happy he is getting a shot. I know its a rough first one but i think he will shock a few people.
 
I like the idea of starting Case this week. I think he could have started last week too. But I like it because he is mobile he can move around he is not going to be a sitting duck. He can throw the ball down field....we have the receivers....we just needed the arm....we got it.
If our offensive line can just give him some time....I think he will do just fine.

I keep hearing this from players....he has a aura.....a spark....he is enthusiastic.....I want to see those things from a qb....not reserved....not quiet.....you need a qb that has that special something.....its intangible.....someone the other players want to play for....I dont think Schaub has that.....I think he has lost confidence myself.

Sure it is a tough enviornment to go into. Its Kansas City....but why not.....lets see what he can do. Give the guy a chance.....
I think he can suceed my self.
People who dont want to give him a chance....wait and see what happens you never know.....
There was this rb who was undrafted...a while back....23.....Foster.....look what he did....

People make a big deal about height...go talk to Russel Wilson...hello.....

:texflag::fans::marionaner::logo::wherewill:texan:
 
At the end of the day, if he's the real deal, it doesn't matter who he makes his start against...he'll shine...

I'm not any more excited to watch this game than I normally am...I love the game and am always pumped to see my team......win or lose

I'll get real giddy if this move puts us back in real contention for the playoffs...

Fans call for case to start
Fans complain case won't get the chance
Case gets the nod
Fans blame Gary for possible poor performance
Fans make up theories as to why case got the start



Fwiw might want to review last weeks game to help you see why "Matt couldn't get it done" because a lot of that will carry over for Case

your already assuming he will not be succesful ? Cant be worse than Schaub the past month.

your talking about the excuses as to why he will be unsuccesful. You didnt come flat out and say it but why else even mention it ? We all know you prefer Schaub, why cant ya just be happy for the kid and see what he can do ?

I was just retyping what case fans have already posted. It's a total hedge against any way this rolls. I already said I hope the kid does well and anyone who started for us Id want the same
 
I look at the upcoming game this way:

Yes, we're all afraid of Case becoming "Kubieized" with dull and lackluster play-calling, but the excitement I am beginning to feel at this point is the ways in which those same plays could/will break down, and it's left to Keenum to work his way out of them.

This is where the interest must be. Even in a losing effort, we shall learn of the potential Case has with this team in the future.

Even in a loss, if we learn more about his potential, and he remains our starter after the bye; isn't that somewhat like a victory in itself?
 
not a case fan...............but dude i'm geeked out for his opportunity. hope he balls out and gives the chiefs hell. really hope schaub is lefton the shelf to collect dust

I don't question schaubs heart. I question what's between the ears. His confidence is shot and his deduction making ability has tanked.

dude got a chunk of his ear ripped off last year.....i dont think his coaches or teammates questioned his heart...only fans for silly reasons at that.

His head....a different matter all together.

What is failing him when he hears footsteps? I call that heart, you are just saying it is a business decision? He is thinking "Well I have bird bones, so I better not get folded in half, might as well just fall down"

Folds under pressure, but no one questions his heart.

Honestly confused.
 
I don't think very many question what Schaub has meant to us in the past, just what he means to us now.
 
I think Schaub has served us well in the past, but this team has a lot of talent and unless he can sort out his throwing issues, and he is no longer capable of leading it.

That said, only Sunday will begin to tell us whether Keenum is the answer for the future. Let him play, and let the rest of the team rally around him.

Question - Do you think this years version of Schaub is capable of "opening up the offense and making downfield throws"?

I question his confidence under pressure... so where is his heart then? Maybe the guy just lacks what it takes from a physical and talent wise perspective.

Yes you are.

When a play is there to be made he makes the throw and takes the shot. When a play is not there he plays smart just like Peyton has always done and goes down. There is no nobility to taking an unnecessary shot which will not benefit the team.
 
chicagotexan2 said:
I don't know if keenum is a warrior but ill be pleased if he doesn't go down like Schaub aka the fainting goat.
Click to expand...

It's called avoiding big hits, something Peyton and Brady do as well. If Keenum wants a long career, he's going to have to learn how to avoid taking hits as well.
 
I don't know what kind of commercials you guys see in Houston. But any commercial around here for a Texans' football game has the other teams QB vs Jj Watt... it used to be the other teams QB vs Arian Foster. Before that is was the other teams' QB vs Brian Cushing & before that Andre Johnson.

Come January, if they're advertising our divisional round play off game as "Case Keenum & the Houston Texans take on Aj Green & the Cincinnati Bengals."

Then I'm fine going forward with Case Keenum as our defacto starter. But, I want both Tj & Schaub gone & a "Nick Foles, Kurt Cousins" sitting on the bench.
