They still have their average QB who makes that extremely difficult to do with Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady in the same conference. And before people try to insult “Average Joe” Flacco or whatever the insulting name thrown around for him is these days, he beat the latter of those two this past season in the playoffs, something Schaub has yet to show he can do even in the regular season.
----------------------------------------------------
You are aware that Schaub beat Roethlisberger and Manning and Flacco all in the regular season, and Schaub is only 1-1 in the postseason?

The only QB he hasn&#039;t gotten past is Brady, and Reed will help.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Ed Reed thought there was a chance for him to win another Super Bowl in Baltimore in the next two years he would have stayed. I agree @Deb, Ozzie does know what he is doing and he knows the Ravens have to take a step back this season before they can move forward again. Ed Reed is merely a 1-2 year stop-gap for the Texans at FS while they groom a young guy to take over. You fans out in Baltimore can contest to this, downside of his career or not, Reed can still perform at a championship level on a Championship caliber defense.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reed is one of the best &lt;em&gt;ever&lt;/em&gt; at his position--a joy to watch in his prime. But he&#039;s on the downside of his career. If he weren&#039;t, he&#039;d still be a Raven. He brings veteran leadership--but he&#039;s also something of a problem child. Again, if he weren&#039;t, he&#039;d still be a Raven. He&#039;s certainly never been the master motivator and team leader Ray Lewis was. 

Sorry, but it&#039;s difficult to see how this particular acquisition will help the Texans get to the next level. Ozzie knows his business--he wouldn&#039;t let the Texans take the piece of the puzzle that would have allowed these two teams to switch places last year ... or next.]]></description>
