Matt Schaub In Charlotte Today; Will Be Evaluated Tomorrow

PrintBuried in this article about the Texans working out Jeff Garcia, Trent Edwards, Chase Clement, Kellen Clemens, and Brodie Croyle for a possible spot as the third QB on the active roster is the news that Matt Schaub flew to Charlotte today in preparation for a checkup on his foot tomorrow morning. Kubiak said the team is keeping its fingers crossed that Schaub won't have to be placed on injured reserve, which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of the idea that Schaub will return sometime this year.
Not that the vast majority of Texans fans harbored any realistic hope that Schaub would be under center again this year, but we should have some sort of resolution to this saga tomorrow, assuming the team lets word about what the doctor in North Carolina finds.
In the meantime, please resume your daily rationalizing that Matt Leinart is about to become the Tom Brady to Schaub's Drew Bledsoe.

Matty Light doesn't have to become Brady
(but that would be a nice problem to have)
All he has to do is be decently accurate and not make dumb decisions. If he can do that, the Texans will be fine.

I was most surprised
at the team’s reaction. It seems like across the board, they feel as if there’ll be little change in the offense with Leinart.
I expected a bigger reaction to a change at the most important position.
Leinart's 2011 final line: 6 wins, 3 losses. 12 TDs - 2 INTs, 2,100 yards with 62% completion.
from chronicle...
Under the watchful eyes of Texans owner Bob McNair and Gary Kubiak – both of whom stood at midfield – freshly anointed starting quarterback Matt Leinart uncorked a tight spiral in route to Andre Johnson, who plucked the ball out of the air and turned upfield all in one motion.
"No. 80 is back!" shouted running back Arian Foster.
BANNED!
Although the thought is a good one, but, quoting the Comicle is frowned upon. Awwww…. it is a good thought, so just consider this a warning….

sorry i had to break my personal ban on all things comicle-related
but the thought is just so … arousing.
If it comes down to it, give me Garcia
The rest of those names are a giant pile of suck.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
If we sign Garcia and Schaub does not get IR'd
then I propose the following: On the last play of the last regular season game we line Schaub under center, and then Leinart, Garcia, Yates, Owen Daniels and James Casey for some kind of 6 QB flea flicker to celebrate our first round bye and home field advantage with.

People would act like we had the Holy Hand Grenade if we ran that play. One…Two…Four! (Three sir!) Three!
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
Love the Holy Hand Grenade!
Weapon of choice in Worms Armageddon! Hallelujah!
and killer of amazingly dangerous monsters....
with teeth that bite your head off.
.................
Knowing our luck with injuries
on that play, either it works to perfection…or all our quarterbacks get hurt.
I'm resigned to the fact that Shaub is done.
I am NOT a Shaub hater by any means, but I just don’t think he was lighting the league on fire this year. If Matty Light plays decent, let’s roll with him.
I think Schaub was having a great yr.
He didn’t have to light it up due to BenArian Fostate & the fact we played with the lead most of the season but he had 15 TD’s & only 6 Ints & was in top 5 in QB rating so he didn’t make too many mistakes albeit that oakland game, I would say that I’m a critic of Schaub but let’s give him his due, we take him for granted sometimes & I’m reserving my judgement on Leinart after I see him play
Re: BenArian Fostate
Every time you use this nickname, the terrorists win and an angel loses its wings. Although mildly clever, I know you’re better than this. You have the talent. It’s just a matter of going back, working harder, and being consistently more creative. #LoneSpotBelievesInYou

Don't confuse me with statistics and logic....
Just saying that from an ‘eyeball’ standpoint, he wasn’t as sharp as previous years and was (I hate this term, but fuck it) managing games more times than not. I know circumstances dictate this and I’m tickled with those circumstances.
Tim...
Thanks for everything you and BRB do here. I appreciate your thoughts and ideas on my favorite team in the NFL. I know it’s a couple days away, but Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and the rest of the BRB clan here. Go Texans!
I've got nothin'...
What is this?
This praise should have been left last week with the 3,000,000 post We’re here to talk about Teh Schaub!
Nah, but yea. Keep up the great work Tim!
With my last breath, I curse Zoidberg!

I praised in the 3mil post as well...
I just get very thankful when Thanksgiving comes around. I thank everything and everyone that impacts my life. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I feel that people in our modern culture don’t take enough time to appreciate the people and things in their lives. So, I make it a point to really make sure people know they’re important.

No need to explain, since Tim is universally well liked and appreciated.
But excellent points in your explanation nonetheless.
Whoa, slow your roll there, Whiskey.
Tim is universally well liked and appreciated.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
I believe that this is relevant
Here’s one on me!
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
Beer advertising digression...
Using coldness as advertising hype is possibly even stupider than the “triple hopped” campaign. in general, they’re all triple hopped (except for Hefeweizens and some exotic exceptions). And how cold your beer is is all up to you.
But the Most Interesting Man in the World campaign is brilliant.
Did you say Brilliant?

The confidence the team is showing despite all of this makes me think
We will be just fine. Maybe even better then we all think. Get ready to offload one of our QB about 5 months from now for multiple picks.
Follow me on twitter: @Super_Stud2100
If he plays well,
I’d rather keep him. Not knowing how Schaub will come back, I’d rather have a reliable back up than pick up some extra picks.
With my last breath, I curse Zoidberg!
if he does well he may want his chance to start somewhere else
unless he thinks he has a chance to beat out Schaub
I tend to believe that Kubiak is old school when it comes to starter vs. backup
And, quite likely, this will become the center of future debate. Why? Because, I think the team will win with Matt Leinart. I think there is a chance his stats will surpass Matt Schaub’s in this offense. I think, if Matt Schaub has surgery, that is it for this season including the playoffs and I think Matt Leinart is good enough to go with this team and be successful in the playoffs. Then, there we are and Kubiak will have a decision to make. I think he sticks with Matt Schaub, just because, until he falters on the field, Kubiak will stick with him.

I hope
but slow your roll a tad. Lets see a meaningful pass before we have a QB controversy.
Leinart's 2011 final line: 6 wins, 3 losses. 12 TDs - 2 INTs, 2,100 yards with 62% completion.
He completed an instride pass to AJ in practice today
That’s meaningful, isn’t it?
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster
yeah
that should do it.
But is there any footage, or are we taking pancakes’ word?
Leinart's 2011 final line: 6 wins, 3 losses. 12 TDs - 2 INTs, 2,100 yards with 62% completion.
Just hoping for the best, bubba!
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster
then everytime schaub throws a pick or makes the wrong decision, we will have half the houston population screaming for leinart. that is not a good problem to have. if he plays well, trade him and work on doing the same thing with yates.
"Well if they've been watching football, i dont think they would say its the same old Texans. I went down. Mario went down. Danieal Manning went down and right now we're sitting at the top of the AFC. If they feel that way they were bandwagoners anyways. So thats the way i feel about it." Andre Johnson
I think we were doing that already
before we discovered that we have a winning team. If Leinart does well, then Shaub comes back, It will not take long for us to fall back in behind Shaub if he’s winning.

"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster
Though many news sites will tell you to the contrary,
the Texans only fell to the #2 seed in the AFC this weekend because they are in a 3-way tie with the Patriots and Ravens for 1st place. Head-to-head tiebreakers are only used in that scenario if all 3 teams have played each other, which means that the Texans finish ahead of the Ravens thanks to being 6-2 (vs. 5-2) in the conference.
Question
How do I post images? Also, is there a "how to " page for strike through text, boxing in quotes, etc.?
Swat and swim, dip and rip, twist and spin; just do whacha gotta do to light up that QB.
These go nice together.

Kyle Orton?!??
I just saw that Denver has waived Kyle Orton.. I think he would be a better option than any of the others mentioned in this post, but I still believe in giving Leinart his fair chance before going that direction, but if we pick up another QB and Orton falls to our choosing on the waiver….
nope
I hope not. I don’t think he’s worth the 4.5 mil or so remaining. He’s no Carson Palmer.
He’d have to learn the offense pretty quick.
I’m betting he goes back to the bears.
Winston
just said on KILT that he is really happy w/Leinart. He doesn’t seem that there will be any dropoff. He thinks M Light will be good…didn’t sound like it was him just saying it because he was supposed to either.
meaningful football games in '08...MAKE THAT 09, okay 10, definitely 10..i am an excellent driver...2011 = defense > awful.
He had to think before he spoke
He has to support Leinart while not appearing to give him too much over Schaub. Reality will be Sunday on the field.
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster
Good luck Schaub
I really hope he comes back. But while we’re at it I watched some USC videos and I like this Leinart dude even if he sucked up the Cards, we should be fine whatever happens and if Leinart gets a few games under his belt he should do the job just aswell as Schaub has been doing it considering all we’re doing is running and playing D anyway.
Swede that like the Houston Texans and Chelsea FC
FN, I like Leinart in this offense
I see very little changing. The pass may be used early to set up the run, still, just like when Schaub was active. I see easy passes to guys in the flat. I even see an early long pass to a dashing AJ or JJ just to loosen things up and send a message. Then let the run take over. So many possibilities. I think Leinart is capable. This offense is light years better than the offense he had around him in Arizona. The players and the scheme in the Texans’ offense is a well-oiled machine. He just has to play within himself and within what is around him and he’ll be fine.
