Grossman Wins #2 Spot

Methinks Kubiak doesn't want to say one way or another until he has to give the NFL the official injury report because he wants the Jets to have to practice without knowing who will be under center on Sunday.

Personally, if Schaub took any reps today, I think he's gonna be starting on Sunday. Its a good coaching move to keep the opposing team wondering :)

hides behind bushs...imbarrised to show my face here ever agin
 
I don't know what to say. Well, I DO know what to say but it might not be appropriate for all to see. I'll put it simple!! WRAP THE DAMN THING UP AND LETS PLAY BALL!!!!! Geeeeeezzzzz!!!
 
If Matt has health problems again this season then it's time to draft a QB and move on I'm just being real here folks.

Something tells me that isn't going to be a whole of of folks here who would disagree with that Gary. 1st season bad luck (maybe), 2nd season illegal hits, 3rd season for any reason is a pattern.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
 
This is trying to insert comments where none were given (by Kubiak). This is nothing more than an update by Kubiak. Ayone expecting Schaub to come off the D2D injury list this far out was kidding themselves.

Unless Schaub has something worse than a sprained ankle, he'll be the starter...take it to the bank.

McCoy is out there I'm not saying I'm just saying. So is Tebow.

I like Tebow, and think he's a great college QB, but I don't see him doing good in the pros. If the Texans are put in that situation I hope they pass on him.
 
What is the over/under of Schaub starting all 16 games this season? Just curious.
 
I think Schaub will start. You could tell he was pi$$ed when he hurt his ankle, and really wanted to go back out there and try and prove something. You would think the guy has some sort of pride and wants to shed the "fragile" tag.

He should however wear a special patch on his jersey just in case.

We ought to start a thread (on the over/under) w/ a poll in it...increments of only 1 or 2 games. I HOPE it's all 16, but I sure wouldn't put any $$ on it.
 
Right now, Schaub has to prove he can play all 16 games, not the other way around. Ya can't fight history. While I hope he plays all 16 games and leads us to the promised land, I wouldn't put 2 cents on that happening.

We might still make the playoffs this year, but I have zero confidence that Schaub will play all 16 games.

John McClain reports:

Texans QB Schaub back at practice
Rex Grossman is named as backup

Tuesday was a good day for Texans quarterbacks Matt Schaub and Rex Grossman.

Schaub, who suffered a sprained ankle in the third preseason game against Minnesota, returned to practice, and, barring any setbacks, looks as if he’ll be able to start Sunday’s opener against the New York Jets.

Grossman, who was 9-of-16 for 197 yards and two touchdowns in Friday’s victory at Tampa Bay, was named as Schaub’s backup over Dan Orlovsky.

Schaub has been getting treatment 24-7.

“He took a big step forward today,” coach Gary Kubiak said after practice. “He took half the reps in practice, so he’s progressing toward getting ready to go.

“Rex will be our No. 2 going into the game. As I told Dan and Rex, ‘I’m leaning towards Rex’s experience and the way he’s handled himself and the way he handled the team (at Tampa Bay).’

“I’m just very comfortable with him right now. Matt has been hobbled, so they both need to be ready to go.”

Agree. I give the chances at about 10-to-1. If Vegas offered those odds I'd wait for the line to go higher. MAybe 20-to-1 would get me to bite.
 
Where are all of those people that said we would be crazy to make a trade for Jay Cutler because we already have injury riddled Schaub?? Schaub's an injury waiting to happen. Even if he stays healthy this year, he'll probably get hurt again next year. Our future is not looking good with an injury prone QB right now.
 
Each of the last two seasons, Matt Schaub has played 11 games. If the over/under is set to 13 this season, do you take the over or the under?

:hides:

Hey, what's Jake Plummer doing? :tomato:
 
I'm sure he'll start this week, but that already plants some doubt that he'll be able to go all 16 games this year. I do think it's kind of good though to have the Jet's unable to completely prepare for Schaub to start, and with Rex as the backup you have to prepare defensively for the good or bad Rex showing up. Kind of like having to prepare for 3 QBs!

If Schaub does only manage 11 starts again this year, time to pull the plug. I think we have two capable prospects behind Schaub so we don't have to invest a high draft pick on a QB. I can't help wonder had we known Miami was so enamored with Ginn Jr's speed would we have paid out the two 2nds on Schaub and instead drafted Quinn.

Agree 1000%. If the guy injures himself running out of bounds and misses the first game of the season then the debate is over and he is officially injury prone and the Texans need a more reliable first option at QB.
 
gary said:
How about Sam or Colt?
Click to expand...
Not Sam. He got injured. No QB who has ever been injured is acceptable to this board. Not Rex either. He missed 2 preseason games with an injury. Schaub only missed one that he wasn't going to play in anyway and 90% of the people here find that unacceptable. Oh, and Schaub will start against the Jets unless his leg falls completely off.

It's not the start I'm worried about - it's the finish.

Jay Cutler was the product of an inept Defense last year. He threw for a ton of yards because he had to, his D was so bad that they needed tremendous amounts of offense. Watch how his stats will fall this year in Chicago.

My other BIG criticism of Cutler is that he turns the ball over a lot by way of INTs and fumbles.

2006:9 touchdowns:10 turnovers
2007:21 touchdowns:21 turnovers
2008:27 touchdowns:22 turnovers
Career:57 touchdowns:53 turnovers

in comparison, Schaub and Rosencopter from last year:
Schaub: 17 touchdowns:14turnovers=1.2
Rosencopter:6 touchdowns:12 turnovers=0.5

Schaub compares pretty favorably as he has slightly more tds than turnovers. One thing that was criticized about our QB play was turning the ball over. While Rosencopter certainly did that a lot, so did Schaub. Cutler might start more, but he gives the ball away far too much.

Trust me, I saw every game that Cutler was in last year and I can say that he is vastly overrated. By the way, here are the stats of a guy who should be talked about as a good QB and isn't.

34 touchdowns:19 turnovers=1.7

By the way, his name is Phillip Rivers.

Actually wouldn't Tebow be a very good fit for the WC offense ?
Click to expand...

Well aside from the fact that he doesn't make reads, is eager to tuck and run, his not accurate on intermediary routes, has a Leftwich style LOOOOOOOONG release, comes from a program known for suspect Pro QBs, and was coached by the same guy that coached up Alex Smith, then yeah, he'd be a great fit for the WC offense!
 
Matt will start all the games this year and he will be a pro bowler this year as well.

you heard it here first.

that's right: Matt Schaub = Pro Bowl

McCoy in a Texans uni?

:bag:

I actually don't think that's a ridiculous idea. I'm a huge Matt Schaub fan, but if he is out this year for any amount of time then I think the Texans have to look towards the future. This draft class is a deep one, and I think that McCoy is rated below Bradford, Tebow and Snead.
 
Are you people freaking serious??? Schaub doesn't take full reps in practice before the FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON and you're throwing in the towel and actually starting up this UT BS again????

God I hate that freaking school!!

IN ORDER TO GET COLT WE HAVE TO GO 2-14 AGAIN!!!!!

WTF??!!!!!
 
Didn't Schaub come back into the game and play on this injury for a few snaps? I think anything short of him losing a limb, Schaub will keep himself on the field... He has to silence every critic who brings up his injury past any time they comment on him

Cutler is NOT overrated by any means. Hell, the guy's only lost like one game last year where his defense gave up under 23 points. His defense was horrible and he was forced to throw the ball a lot and other teams knew it.

He'll be a very good QB for the Bears for many years. He might not have great numbers for a year or two until they get some real talent at WR, but he'll be a good QB this year for them. The guy's arm is better than anyone's in the league right now in my opinion. His release is great, he throws on the run better than anyone, and he can fit passes in tight holes very very neatly.

Oh, and one more thing, HE STAYS ON THE FIELD. Something Schuab really needs to learn how to do.


I agree with you about Phillip Rivers. He's very good and continues to get better.
