The Texans are committed to quarterback Matt Schaub.

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t looking.

“I think in this league, you’re always looking for that young quarterback that you think is going to be a 10-, 12-year player in this league and be very successful,” coach Gary Kubiak said recently, via the team’s official website.

Of course, this doesn’t mean the Texans will use a high draft pick -- or any draft pick -- on a quarterback. It means that Kubiak believes a team should always be looking for the next guy who can be the guy.

The sense of urgency the Texans will have in that regard depends on how strongly they still believe that Schaub is the guy.
