Schaub is a competent QB, but that offense runs through Foster/run game. They don’t need an elite guy at that position. They are in the position of strength with that negotiation IMO.

Two things Matt needs to do:

1) Stay healthy and play the entire season. Injuries don’t equate to huge contracts.

2) Get to and deep into the playoffs. If Yates winds up with a better playoffs record than Schaub, then it’s a no brainer after this season.

You must not only be productive, but you must advance. Sitting still will not get it done.

In this QB hungry league, some team will pay Schaub big bucks $ if Texans don’t lock him up

Houston will play a wait and see on Ben Taub Schaub to see what happens with his health this year, the playoffs, ect, ect..

If not, I’ll bet Miami offers him a small fortune when they find out officially that old man Garrard and Matt Moore are no good, and that there’s a reason an Aggie has never been successful as an NFL QB.

This is the 2nd news bit I’ve seen that seems to only remember TJ Yates by his (impressive) last minute TD pass in the playoffs to beat Cincy.

What these news bits over looks it that Yates ended the last 5 games of the season with 1 TD pass and 5 INT’s.

He is not the future starter in Houston. In fact, with any effectiveness in the last game against Baltimore, they would have won.. He threw 0 TD’s and 3 INT’s in that game and they still almost won.

If Schaub could just stay healthy he’s probably around the 10th-12th best QB in the league. Prior to the injury he was a lock for 200-250 yards and 2 TD’s every week in fantasy.

I think they need to stay the course with him with Yates as the backup for about 2-3 more years and then decide whether or not Yates is ready or if they need to draft a QB.

Schaub has always been a vastly underrated QB. Sure, there are health concerns with him, but he has produced, and who, exactly, has he had in the way of legitimate receiving targets since he’s been a Texan? Andre Johnson has had his own injury problems, leaving Schaub choose between Kevin Walter, Jacoby Jones, and Owen Daniels?!

T.J. Yates is definitely not the answer. I personally watched both Schaub and Yates play while they were in college. Schaub is infinitely more talented, intelligent, and has a much better work ethic than Yates.

I think Schaub has done a pretty good job as the starter for the Texans.

I’ll take Schaub if it means Cassel won’t be a Chief anymore.

Texans have mortgage the future and the future was last year. Even after $18 million in cap relief from departure of Mario Williams, Texans still have backs up against the salary cap wall. Why Winston, Ryans, Jones, Leinart and Vickers were released and top FAs not re signed. Any contract Texans could do, Schaub is likely to look elsewhere first.

The Texans should wait b/c Schaub, while a solid QB, can’t stay healthy nor has he been able to elevate his team.

IMO the Texans need to find a new QB in the draft in ’13

Schaub is one of the most underrated QBs in the league
