Is the media is smarter than we think?

[TexansSeminole]

It basically boils down to this: Although he has only seen limited action, Sage has played well in Houston for 2 preseasons and 2 regular seasons. You can base your opinion about him from this sample size, or you can choose to ignore it and instead make up your opinion based on two games he played with the Dolphins 4 years ago.

Sage has looked good with the Texans offense, in preseason AND in the regular season. He moves the chains, airs it out, and can score inside the redzone. He also makes too many mistakes with the ball, but still usually finds a way to give his team a chance to win the game. He is undefeated as a starting QB for the Texans. Thats all I have to go on, and I think he has done everything we could ask and more. I dont think he is a HOF quarterback or anything, but I do think he has what it takes to be a capable starter for this team.

Again, the question isn't if he is capable or not. You will have people saying he isn't or that he is. The question is if he should start over Schaub. Sage has thrown a pick something liek 4.5% of his throws this season. We lead the league in turnovers. I'm not sure having Sage as our QB is the best idea. The guy has PROVEN that he turns the ball over. He had a good game today, yes, but he hasn't proven to me that he should start over Schaub. Schaub plays smarter and gets rid of the ball faster. They are about equal in arm capability as far as I can tell.

I thought the question was: is Sage a capable starting quarterback? If the question is should he start over Schaub that is a different matter. Schaub gets paid the starters money, he has been impressive at times and is still a bit wet behind the ears. Juding only by performance Id say both QBs have been about equal thus far. They have both shown some promise and both made mistakes. Schaub needs to toughen up a bit, but Im not thowing him under the bus by any means. If he is healthy then he should start. But he isnt healthy. And Sage is 2-0 as our starting QB. What happens if he just keeps winning games? At what point do you have to leave him in as the starter?
