Houston won’t win because of Schaub. They will win because of J.J. Watt. I’m a die hard Bengals fan but our O-line is abysmal right now and Dalton is making bad decisions because of that. Watt is going to make it a looong day for our O-line and Dalton. If they can keep Watt at bay (which I highly doubt), we will win that game. If they can’t, then like I said, it’s going to be a loong day resulting in another loss in Houston.

The problem with the probowl is the fans vote counts for too much I think it should be redone 15% fans 40% players 45% coach

When I read the headline I thought the Steelers had traded Roethlisberger to the Texans.

At least can get a win when his defense holds the other team to 6 points. Roethlisberger CAN’T.

Schaub has always been overrated. Why are people acting like this is news? If the Texans are trailing, they cannot sit on you with that stretch play run game, Foster is a virtual non-factor, and Schaub is no Rodgers, Brees, Brady or a Manning.

Matt will have the opportunity to play in the playoffs for the first time in his career. Additionally, he will have his favorite target available and healthy. He deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt since he has played well before. There is a good chance that he will rise to the occasion and play well enough to get the job done. Until then, anything that people say about how he will perform is just plain speculation. Oh, and don’t forget that Arian Foster is also healthy and playing well. Furthermore, the defense has proven that they can play well with the players available on the roster so they may also step it up during the playoffs. Go Texans!

He’s 12-4. Two losses were on the defense. Texans fans to step off the ledge. He had a bad 4 weeks, but in general he is very good at not turning it over. The big difference between Texans wins and losses is turnover battle. in the losses, we turn it over and our Defense doesn’t get any. If we win the turnover battle next week, then we win, and win each game after that. Go Texans!!

Hopefully he reads this, takes it to heart, and shows something this postseason. If you believe the whole ‘Peyton wanted to come to Houston’ thing, sticking with Schaub may have cost us our best chance at a SB in this shrinking window.

While Shaub isn’t a world beater – he’s not the guy that gave up 6 TD’s to Aaron Rodgers. Does anyone really think it’s reasonable to expect a QB to put up 7 just to win “close” at that point?

That defense was pretty much a no-show against NE too.

houston played it’s superbowl back in week 7 v. baltimore, they killed ‘em, but look at their games since then and they are very average….might beat cincy on sat, i doubt they win v. denver this time around, they are both playing at a different level since that game…

Schaub is strictly a second-tier QB. He’s in the Philip Rivers/Jay Cutler/ Alex Smith tier. He’s not anywhere near the Brady/Manning/Brees elite level. He’s definitely better that the bottom dwellers, AKA the “Sanchez”level.

I’m looking for Cincy to beat the Texans. The Texans are too one-dimensional, and the Patriots exposed them for what they are, a team with a few playmakers and a subpar supporting cast.

Texan fans, I’m a fan, but also a Realist. This team is not Super Bowl ready and probably will never go with the current Regime in place.

Schaub isn’t anything special, but the slobbering over Luck is getting annoying.

I will agree Luck is not a pro bowl QB yet but I’ll take him over Schaub and Flacco any day. Schaub=Flacco=Romo. Good but will never win a Super Bowl.

Back to back playoffs and the bengals are ” overachieving “? We will see when that D line is in Shaub’s grill all day.

The Luck love is nonsensical. His defense allowed around 17 points a game in the Colts’ 11 victories. Which would be good for around 3rd or 4th in the league. I’d say his team carried him. Not the other way around.

By: mrbigass

mrbigass — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 16:48:03 +0000

Cut him today and he’d have multiple teams after him. Easily a top ten guy but maybe in a funk and bad timing at that. Even the best QB’s have a run of bad games…..

Time will tell if he breaks out of it…..

Houston need to sign Vick I’m sure he can be productive with that many talent around him and that bootleg offense

What is with the love for Luck? Schaub had a much better season than he did. He threw as many picks as TDs and completed just over half his passes.

Snarky comment about the Pro-Bowl – the #1 defense in the NFL – #1 in total yards, #1 in pass defense, #2 in rush defense was the Pittsburgh Steelers… yet not A SINGLE PLAYER on their defense made the ProBowl.

Ya, it’s a joke.

Statistically, over the last 5 years, only 4 NFL QBs have been rated in the top 10 in QB rating all 5 years:

Tom Brady
Aaron Rodgers
Peyton Manning (ya, not including ’11)

and…

Matt Schaub.

It’s the truth. Look it up. Schaub has consistently and quietly performed as a top-10 QB, more than Brees, Rivers, Eli or Big Ben.

Been saying this for years. He’s not the QB to win a Super Bowl for that franchise. Why they stayed completely out of the Peyton Manning sweepstakes is beyond me.

Schaub is a slightly above average QB with hardly anyone decent around him except Johnson and Foster. Give Schaub two or three more weapons and I think you will see a much stronger and potent Offense for Houston.

Just one more reminder of how little the Pro Bowl means. Oh sure, it feels good for the player but getting selected often has no relationship to how they have actually performed, especially in key games.

The fact that he’s in the pro bowl is a joke. The Texans’ offensive system is one of the best in the league and Schaub greatly benefits from it.

By: chrisbntx

I think this article reflects the feelings of most Texans fans. Schaub is a good QB but that is it. He is not elite or even what I would consider tier 1.

Oh God, enough with Andrew Luck already. It’s amazing how pedigree clouds the vision. He has a bright future, but right now he’s the 29th rated passer in the NFL. He completes just over half his passes and turns the ball over too much.

RG III and Russell Wilson have had vastly superior rookie seasons.
