I'd sit Schaub next week and start Yates (even though I chose Keenum) but then if Yates couldn't produce I'd play the next guy in the second half. Mostly I'm thinking I need to see if I've got someone who's going to be able to step up on my roster. I'm not really all that concerned with the order.
I knee-jerk chose Keenum simply because he brings more mobility than Yates who I see as more of a more athletic Schaub. Either would be a step up in athleticism and a step back in experience BUT..... experiences come in both good and bad and it appears to me that Schaub's grow a little gun-shy. He seems worried about the pressure before it's actually on him. That's something Yates or Keenum won't have.
Simple question - Does either Yates or Keenum give you a better chance to win that Schaub.
1 Yes , Yates
2 Yes , Keenum
3 No
4 Texan Bill for QB.
I said this in another thread, but I'd settle for Yates. Would prefer keenum.
what's the point of having 2 backup qb's? seriously.

I know Weeden got hurt, but that staff put their sht on the table & started their 3rd string guy over their back-up. Dude killed the Bengals today. Dude killed last week.
If most of us are right & Kubiak believe Keenum may be the future, this would be the time to find out. Start him on the road against the 49ers (who are having confidence/health issues right now)..... defense playing pretty good.
Yates was a 5th round rookie the last time he put any real game film down. Kubiak nullified him as much as anything else. And he got a little bug-eyed in the playoff loss to Baltimore. With a much better grasp of the offense, I think he'd be fine. I'm definitely OK with Keenum but that will never happen with Kubiak. He'll take the experienced player if he ever discovers the stones to make the change in the 1st place.I felt like Yates was ok, certainly did well his rookie season, but that once the tape was up on him he was nullifiable. I think Keenum may have the same problem, but obviously hasn't put the tape up yet.
Keenum for the rest of the season, if it goes terribly stick Yates in and let him just field Marshall, if it causes a losing season, do whatever it takes to move up to where we need to be on draft day to get a franchise QB, spend the spare cash freed up with a rookie QB contract on upgrading at safety, ilb and depth at DT.
The risk is one losing season, I don't think we go into full on rebuild by doing this, and for all the risk of drafting a QB high, what better team to plug a rookie into.

So he can either lose his job by having "full faith" in Schaub or he can roll the dice with Yates and at least have a fighting chance to keep his job? We're playing a big boy schedule this year. Despite his size, Matt Schaub is not a big boy.I don't think Kubiak survives another losing season. Not even with the patience of McNair.
So if he's changing a QB he's going to have to have FULL faith in this guy.

With what RG3, Kaep, and Wilson did last year...not sure Schaub could lean on experience any more.
Experience should have told him not to throw the ball willy nilly to the flats with a 7 point lead. Usually that's what experience is good for...y'know...not throwing the ball over the middle before realizing if the defense is playing a zone or not...things like that...
Agree. With experience should come wisdom but he appears to have picked up some bad habits.
Haha anyone else hear the Fox crew just now talking about Schaub ??? Glad we as fans arent the only ones who see it.

I was just watching dungy and Harrison talking about him.
What did the fox guys say?
