So, the Texans should invest a second round pick for a QB. What round was Tom Brady picked in? How many QB’s were picked ahead of him and are no longer in the league? What was the very first pick of the Houston Texans? – David Carr! Picking great QB’s in the early rounds is no Guarantee!!!!

The guy won the Texans a playoff game less than week ago – give the guy a break!

They lost to the all-mighty patriots by less than 14 points in New England in the 2nd round of the playoffs….things could be SO MUCH WORSE!

Just ask Kansas City.
——————————————————–
He was behind as much as 28 points at one time, and was the beneficiary of 17 points the refs gift-wrapped for him.

Please, the guy made a couple of decent throws but was basically crap until the Pat’s went “prevent”.

It seems like nobody in the world of football has any patience anymore. Just give the guy a little wiggle room. Made it to the second round of the playoffs and there are so many people kickin him when he’s down. Geez…

Hey can win a championship. He is not that turnover probably. He needs more weapons. He is accurate and did a great job of getting in tight areas yesterday.

Mask Ryan got more weapons by his second year. Why does Matt Schaub have to have his weaponry amount cut down?

He is good with very little, but he needs better number two and number three receivers. He will also need another good pass catching tight end.

He can always play better, but management and the coaching failed him!

To all the Chiefs and Cardinals fans who want Matt Schaub, I would be glad if the Texans would trade him to either team. All I would want in return is that you switch positions in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th rounds of the 2013 NFL draft with the Texans. We will get our DT and you can still get your future QB while he develops behind Schaub. You can have Matt Schaub’s talent and salary while the salary cap space will be good enough for me. Do you still want Matt Schaub now?

And now the Texans are in the same situation, since expectations have been raised to the point that beating the Bengals is no longer enough.

That’s not very nice. There were 10 teams out of 13 this year that couldn’t beat the Bengals. So that says the Texans are pretty good to be able to beat them.

Now might not be the appropriate time to ask but how did the Texans let Pollard, Leach, and Jacoby Jones go so easily. All three turned out to be studs on the Ravens. Was coaching the difference? Seems to me that Kubiak and his staff might need to take some blame here as well.

Are you people for real? Schaub got 17 points when the patriots d was playing deep, giving up big chunks on runs and passes underneath and protecting deep. before the half and at the end of the game, playing soft to eat up time…..
why teams use that prevent defense irks the hell out of me…… the texans left the JV jackets at home but forgot their BIG BOY PANTS..

Problem is we have a stubborn coach who believes that his way is best and he doesn’t believe in adjusting to the game of today.

As a Cardinals fan, I think the Texans should be happy with what they have. You could have it worse. Way, way, way worse.

the Texans can only beat teams that dont have a powerful offense, their D is overated and Schaub is a game manager, the colts will take back the afc south again next year , hope u guys enjoyed yr 2 years we spotted yal

Maybe Schaub should be running to the support of his defense instead of vice versa. You know..one of the leagues best D’s that got 41 points dropped on them

By: conormacleod

conormacleod — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:05:37 +0000

Wait. You guys think the loss is Schaub’s fault? Because he didn’t put up 42 against the Patriots? I have news for you. If Schaub had put up 42, then Brady and company would have put up 49.

The Lee Evans drop was 2nd down.

3rd down Pitta got interfered with but there was no call.

4th down… Wide left.

Texans defense gives up 41 points and Schaub takes the heat? I’m pretty sure football is a team sport. I know his stats were just average this year, but there are only a handful elite QBs in the league. Not every team is gonna have one.

Not a Texans fan so I have no horse in this race but I think the majority of NFL teams would be satisfied with a QB of Schaub’s caliber. He’s never going to be Brady, Brees etc. but he’s far better than teams like Jags, Cards, Raiders, Jets, Bucs, etc. etc. have. No, I think the problem in Houston lies with Kubiak. The owner, McNair, has given Kubiak everything he has asked for over the past 7 years. McNair isn’t afraid to spend the money on players, doesn’t interfere like Jerrah Jones, certainly isn’t knee-jerk like in Jacksonville, Tampa, Cleveland or Buffalo. Kubiak has had a roster of elite talent but he can’t get them past the level they’ve been at for 5 years. Kubiak is the problem in Houston.

Shaub is capable of throwing for 400 yards and 4 tds but there something not right about him…otherwise the broncos would still have him on their roster.

Texans are lucky to be where they are, Injuries happen all over NFL, it happened to them with Cushing and some othe no name Lb’s but nothing major on offense. Be fortunate because nothing is guaranteed in the NFL

Schaub is lucky he plays on a good team.

I definitely think he’s a better QB than Matt Cassel, Kevin Kolb and Ryan Fitzpatrick, but oftentimes the difference between a good QB and a bad QB is nothing more than the players around him.

They better drive the wagons slow or Schaub will collapse in a heap.

calm down Texans fans, you’ve made it to the Post Season two times now in franchise history. It takes steps, your getting closer each year….

If anything he has helped TJ Yates value. Maybe I am wrong, but didn’t Yates take them just as far in the playoffs last year?

Patriots fan here. Schaub scored 28 points in a playoff game. How much more do you expect from him?

Sure they had to settle for 3 points instead of 7 a few times – but every QB experiences that.

The bottom line is that if the D does a better job in that game, the Texans are hosting Baltimore next week.

last year Shaub didn’t even pay in post season. feels like your taking a page from the for letter network and trying to make a controversy.

JJ has the right to say what he wants. He brings it every game while being double-teamed nearly every play. I really believe if you don’t have an elite QB, you need to start looking at dual-threats. They are capable of running for 1st downs when its there or when receivers are covered. Schaubs biggest problem is that he needs wide open WR to succeed & has 0 capabilities when forced out of pocket. Always looking to throw it away, absolutely no improv when a play breaks down. He does nothing for you outside the designed play

True. But at least he didn’t pull a Roethlisberger.

i wouldnt say schaub needs to go but its getting to be that time where texans need to look at tj yates who alrdy won a playoff game asa rookie as texans qb.. if schaub struggles early next year yates comes in.
