because he nailed it!

But he was dead on accurate with this column

Even though he is not the leader i would want on the field, there are only a few elite qbs and he is nearly elite.

I’d love to see bennprice fisk it. But then, I enjoy a good effort in futility occasionally.

But what is frustrating to fans is that Schaub isn’t able to clutch and carry to overcome other issues on the offense, which is what four or five QBs can do in the league. That is unfair to ask of anyone. He can’t iron out a wrinkle made by poor blocking on one play, a dropped pass on another, and lazy route running by yet another. Our issues with the offense are several of these failures being strung together far too often in a single series throughout the game and killing production. Schaub gets the focus since he is the source of the action on each play, but these issues belong to:

1. Players failing to execute in games
2. Coaches being unable to prepare the players to transfer what is practiced onto the game field.

The fix? We need the coaches to jam a red hot poker up the ass of players who let the team (and fans) down with this lack of discipline and execution!

To spite my normal rambles here, I’m somewhat coherent on this one. In my opinion, when push comes to shove, the fate of a game will rely on a QB to make a decision, choice, option… At some point and time Shaub will have to (be a team captain) take a pre-snap read and say to himself “Fuck this I’m checking off. I’ll take the heat at the presser”. I find it hard to beleive that there are no audibles in the O.

Now at the same time, fact of the matter is there are busted plays in the NFL. But in my mind what really makes a good QB is his ability to make something out of nothing. I’m not gonna argue stats and so-forth because it’s a losing battle. Matt’s numbers are really pretty good overall I think at least.

AJ, no AJ, Jacoby, no Jacoby again, SOMEWHAT (please note the emphasis) is irrelavent. There is more than enough in our arsenal, to make things happen.

I reckon my biggest complaint with Shaub is he seems timid. Both in play calling as well as in execution (play calling not really his fault I would guess, but c’mon man, sometimes you have to take one for the team. Not saying he hasn’t some hit thoughout his career with us, but the last play vs. Oakland personafies it in my opinion. Jacoby is about as sharp as a marble and Matt should have know that even with the clock stopped, and someone held his hand and showed him the left rear pylon of the EZ, it wasn’t gonna happen. This is where a QB that’s 6’5" and roughly 240 lbs (?) has to just put his head down and at least make an effort to do it himself. If he gets stopped, so be it, at least it’s an effort to try and win and it’s a LOSS. Instead, he chose to pull up and throw a ball that’s not gonna do the Texans any good lest the DB drops it. That’s giving up because of the fact, he didn’t want to to take a hit.

I’m OK with losing, just not a big fan of giving up.

Thanks y’all.

Why are morons like Pancakes and Solomon allowed to do what they do….

the Schaub defender argument is usually “he’s not a bad QB, no way can the Texans replace him with someone better.” the problem with that is no logical person is saying he’s a bad QB or that we should replace him, that kind of stuff comes from your Bennprice’s of the world.

the Schaub detractor argument is usually “he’s not great, and he’s not a guy who you can trust in crunch time” the problem is when people see comments like that they assume it means “Schaub sucks, trade him for Matt Cassel”.

Both sides are correct if you ask me.

I am so tired of people harping in Schaub and acting like he is what is keeping us from a playoff spot. He is no where near the weakest link in our chain. NT? WR2? CB2? ST in general? Good God…

 When the play comes into the QB’s helmet, how long does it stay on? When does it turn on again?

That horseshit and y’all know it.
