i guess i would take someone that can take a licking
keep on tickin and move around a bit in the pocket.

That would point me to Philip Rivers, Jay Cutler,
or Donovan McNabb even tho he does get hurt
from time to time. I would say Vick but he has a
laser and you cant really ask him to throw into
coverage and cant lob and place the ball over the
outside shoulder Thats his worset attribute but
everything else is good.

I’d go with a getting picks for Schuab (or trying to recoup the ones we lost) and pick up Troy Smith after his contract expires (that’s when I’d move Schaub). He looked more than servicable in starting the Dolphins last three games in that terrible season two years back. They hadn’t won a game until he played and would have one two of those three if it wasn’t for a missed last second chip shot FG he drove them down for. His legs seemed to be back after fattening up for his last ever collegiant game (the NC against FLA). He has better arm strength, athletisism, and is world’s tougher. The knock on him coming out was his size. I continue to watch guys like Schaub that are taller but can’t throw in rythem at times or know where his lanes will be (that can be a line problem) and get more balls knocked down than the likes of a Brees or Troy. Also, Schaub is a Fragile bean pole and still doesn’t out weigh the weight room junkie Smith. Which may account for why Schaub will go down so much easier, but I think that has more to do with being a wuss.

I wouldn’t change the list much. Donovan “Screen to Westbrook, 80 yd TD, look how good McNabb was on that little five yard flick” McNabb would definately not be on the list. I think Schaub should be kinda worried with the QB draft class coming out next year though. They may pick up someone to “groom.” Gives Schaub a year or two to show the staff something.

In fact I think he might make the ProBowl this year if the Texans make a run for the playoffs like I expect (hope) them to do. I don’t know who is really better but I think it is a two horse race between Peyton and Brady. I think Peyton is better but I have a deep hatred for the man being that he has owned us so I think I will go with Brady.

Like I said before though, I expect Schaub to stay healthy and our 3rd ranked offense to improve and do some really exciting and talked about things this year.

Go Texans!

I’m a huge Brees fan. I think he does a lot without much talent around him; Devery Henderson? C’mon. And does anyone really think Colston is as good as his numbers suggest? Brees makes that team.

As much as we love to hate Manning, he’s one of the greatest ever. And Brady might have played in a stacked system a couple years ago, but he’s legit.

I might take Carson Palmer or Cutler, but nobody else. Rivers had the numbers last year, but he’s the epitome of YAC. Whether it’s screen passes to LT or Sproles, or lobs (seriously, the guy can’t get any zip on the ball) to Gates, he’s constantly getting bailed out by an incredibly talented offense.

I’d say no on Roethlisberger too. I think he gets a bad rap from the people who say that the Steelers only win because of their defense. He’s certainly not on that Vince Young level, but he has some serious David Carr syndrome when it comes to holding onto the ball too long.

But as it stands, we have a pretty favorable QB situation right now. After Brees, Brady, and Manning, I think there’s a group of about ten QBs who are on pretty similar footing, and I’d say Schaub falls right in there. It’s hard to make a case for him being genuinely better than some of those others (Rodgers, Cutler, etc.), but I don’t think you can make a case the other way either.

McNabb is 32 years old, and before last season he had finished 14, 10, and 9 games in his last three seasons. He’s taken a beating throughout his career; I’d put my money on Schaub staying healthy over him.

I’d take Cutler over Romo because, again, Cutler did more with less last year. He and Warner are the only two good QBs out there who had to deal with a worse defense than Schaub. Which of course, brings up Roethlisberger. I like the guy, believe me. But there’s a big difference in playing with arguably the best defense of the decade versus one of the worst in football. I don’t think he would have won eight games as a Texan last year. That’s not to mention the 45+ sacks he seems to take every year. And let’s not play the offensive-line blame game like so many people did back in the day with Carr; Roethlisberger simply holds onto the ball too long. That doesn’t fly when you’ve got Duane Brown playing left tackle; you need a QB who makes quick reads and decisions, and Schaub fits that mold.

Flacco is in the same boat. Again, I like the guy. But by all accounts, he played like a rookie last year. That’s fine, he got his licks and I think he’ll improve this year. But the only reason he “lead” his team to the playoffs is because of that 3rd-ranked defense.

I’d probably take Palmer. But if we’re talking about injury-prone, this is a guy who had his knee absolutely destroyed a few years ago, then missed another twelve games last season.

I can’t statistically defend why I’m down on Rivers, but c’mon… Just watch the guy. Andre Johnson is a busy man; he doesn’t have time to wait around for the patented Rivers floater to land. Now, I actually think Romo is a pretty good QB, which begs the question: why can’t he win a playoff game? Furthermore, why did a completely crap the bed last year in week 17? He’s another player who, by all accounts, played on a stacked team. I don’t like to refer to people as choke-artists after two disasters, but nobody’s going to mistake him for Joe Montana.

Once again, I’m not saying that Schaub is a better QB than all of those guys. I’m saying that I wouldn’t risk the change, because we’re getting pretty damn-good QB play when he’s healthy. I wouldn’t trust any of those other guys to step into the same situation and produce better results, aside from maybe being healthy enough to save us from the Rosencopter.

First all those quarterbacks named are twice as good and proven. I am sure all you Texans fans would gladly take Eli Manning (Superbowl Winner), Jay Cutler (Pro Bowl), Matt Cassel (Fantastic Debut), Rivers (Enough Said, and McNabb ( Proven Winner). Gimme a break, your stuck with Schuab and stop trying to make him out to be something he isn’t. Kinda like how the Texas fans made Vince Young out to be the next best thing, he’ ll be lucky not to put a bullet in his head.
