An Open Letter To Matt Schaub: What you can do to regain the confidence of Texans' fans.

but I think "Piss-poor effort " is a bit misguided. the play was meant to go to the right, but our OLine allowed mass pressure and Matt was forced left. The moment he began to leave the pocket, the safety began flying towards him, and so Matt leveled off at the line of scrimmage to buy a bit of time. The safety, mere feet from him, forced him to throw the ball to the ONLY receiver on the left side of the field which was JJ on a hook. JJ began to take off to the inside right as Matt was forced to let it go (or else be sacked), causing both JJ and the pass to look bad all at once.

 Matt’s problem is that he doesn’t bleed emotion during the game. He keeps it all inside, which causes people to question him like this. Am I saying he’s an epic QB like Brady? no.. However all of Schaub’s “awful clutch-failing 4th quarter INT’s” come when he is being chased down after a nuke went off in the pocket. Our O-Line was dick last week, failing to beat 7 man fronts in the run game, failing on damn near every 3rd down, and failing to keep Schaub clean in the pocket. Look for a rebound game against a tough front.

…and claims to know more than the average fan could think there was any way Schaub would made it in by running. Short of magic-ing himself into the endzone he was going to be dropped well before the goal line and most likely around the five when you consider he was at the 8 when he made the pass. He tried to pump fake the safety, it didn’t work, he had to throw it. I think you should go back an re-write your letter and ask Schaub why he can’t be more like Vick, because Vick would’ve found a way to run it in.

Gentlemen.. I will defend Schaub til the cows come home, but I would like to add one thing to make my point a little more clear. I want Schaub to achieve GREATNESS and I wrestle with what my heart wants to believe and what we’ve actually seen though Schaub’s career with the Texans. Truth be told, I would have been more impressed had he tried to get in by running and been stopped short.. it would have left me with a much stronger sense of pride that the QB of my favorite team in the world would have taken that kind of risk when the clock was running out. A refreshing change from the as per usaul 2 yard scramble and slide. Argue however you want, that didn’t happen and the Texans lost anyway. They played like crap the second half. There was an entire team and coaching staff to blame. It’s over, it happened. Look, I love Schaub, but I wish I could be more confident in him in crunch time. He had a chance to seize a moment and failed… again. I’m definitely not on here to act like I know the most about football, but wanted to convey a whole-hearted Texans fan for life that’s not just bitching about Schaub cause he’s not the likes of a Rodgers or a Brees. I know who Schaub is as a player, but fans like me (and so many others) who invest so much in a team have a right to be fired up from time to time. I want to believe that he will grow into more. Soon.

I think he is just still too afraid of the mistake that he can’t help but make that mistake. Maybe he becomes that MAN in his 30’s.

I believe that if Matt Schaub "figures out " how to win, he can be good for a long time.

Let that sink in…and Brady made it into the League on a wing and a prayer. It takes a rare combination of talent (FO), philosophy (staff), execution (practice,practice,practice) and vision (HC/Owner) to win a championship. Which element is weakest from your point of view?
