What's the status on Schaub?

[headsplint]

I read he said he is ready to play, but Kubes hasn't made the decision. Is that the latest? I'm guessing he will be a gametime decision? Anyone have anymore info on this?

[jaffatex23]

i say Schaub starts. If your Kubiak you keep it quiet so the defense doesn't know exactly how to prepare. Believe me, it matters.

[Houston Jag Fan]

if Schaub starts I think you guys have a good chance

[false start on # 69]

I hope to see Schaub in there . It would be nice , but if hes not fully ready to go , then don't risk it .

[Yosarian]

From what i saw on tv Kubs was talking like Schaub was ready after practice on friday. Still,i think it is gametime decision . He is listed as probable though so it looks like he will start.

[will742]

They just said he WILL BE playing.

[Bulls-Eye]

I kept Schaub out until Saints game. What Schaub going to do better then Sage? The only thing Schaub got on Sage is better salary.

[Towlie]

He will be starting according to CBS.

[B420tx]

Schaub starts, and I think he plays better against the 3-4 then the 4-3... still don't know if we win though :(

[HJam72]

I don't really see much difference between them. Sage is just going to hit a few more long ones than Schaub and throw a few more Ints. Sage is Schaub-B.

[Sportswriter79]

3 -4

[GT]

Just announced on cbs he is starting.

[VY Owns You]

Washed up?

[TEXANRED]

Washed up?

tracey

[Scott747]

Washed up?

Your funny.

Trust me - You have far more issues at QB then we do.

[edo783]

Your funny.

Yup, and he is so clueless he doesn't know it.

[Towlie]

Hopefully enough to keep him out until the bye week

[Olajuwon]

shoulda sat schaub...duh...he was INJURED.

[outofhnd]

Schaub is a huge letdown, in my opinion for all this he is more efficient with the ball that we kept hearing about, I really havent seen it. I guess more efficinet with the ball means is he gets more first downs. Our sack numbers are down but at what price? A QB that keeps getting a pass week in and week out because our O LINE sucks? maybe we just didnt get that great of a QB again? Sure he is an upgrade for carr because he looks to throw outside of the pocket but again for all of Scaubs accolades, he never once in 3 years prior beat out a running QB who was an erratic passer. He did well but not good enough to garner victories. He just doenst have that "it" factor. He doesn't have that confidence to win football games. He needs more development, or he needs a better O line is just an excuse for his bad decisions. He is not even going to lead this team to a .500 record. Its going to take atleast 3 years before we can be considered a team to reckon with in our division. Maybe longer if we clean house before then. I can only blame schaub because he is our QB and Our QB handed this team the game.

Sucks that you are so negative. I hope that you find something to be happy about. Obviously you should go with a team that has a better chance to win. I'll take Schaub, because he is going to get better, and in weeks 1 and 2 we saw what we are going to see in the future.

I agree with your point, but I'm starting to get concerned for the kid. I absolutely do not want to see him become another shell shocked QB. Flanagan and Salaam have to get benched and now!

If Kubiak does not do something to protect Schaub more, the kid is going to get seriously hurt.

I think Schaub can be the answer @ QB for this team. But the guy is having to run for his life as soon as the ball hits his hands.

Do something, anything now to shore up the line. Please for God's sake.

I wouldn't call it negative. Its what QBs are paid to do, and in 8 weeks our qb has not done it. What makes you think he will improve in the future? Other QBs find a way to get a W for their team. I just dont see that from schaub, I see that from Andre Johnson not from schaub. Is he better than Carr yes. Is he a franchise QB based on the performance I have seen, no. We just have one franchise player on our roster and unfortunately he probably won't be back until the bye week. Can you honestly say after 8 games that Schaub has shown enough to be considered franchise caliber? 5 TDs 4 to our injured superstar who hasnt played since week 2? not one from inside the 20 yard line? He has spread the ball around but once you get in the redzone every defense is going to stiffen and he hasnt shown me any production in the red zone. How many more weeks are you going to give him a pass? I am willing to eat my words if he proves me wrong. Can any of you "die hard fans" say the same? Or will you guys give this guy a pass because when Andre Johnson was playing he looked great. Maybe I am the only one looking at my favorite team and seeing that there is a problem with this offense that goes beyond a crummy o line. Mayb the problem is outside of 1 stellar wide receiver we dont really have any superstar talent. There is a reason Schaub was a backup for 3 years and never traded to anyone. Obviously if he was so great the price would have not been to steep for another team to get him. If this is negative thats fine but I am tired of saying next week schaub will step up. Now Im praying that Andre Johnson gets better because our franchise QB can't score touchdowns without him. If the season was only 2 weeks long our team would be undefeated. Why cant you guys admit schaub is making poor decisions? Why cant you guys admit that schaub has been disappointing?

He made a lot of good plays today but as much as you want to avoid it, the O-line is barely even providing enough time to get a pass off. Much less giving him the amount of time to carry this team to victory against a far more talented team. As much as you want to blame it all on the QB, he doesn't play defense or special teams.

With no runningame,no true #1 receiver(after AJ).

If Schaub was expected to leadus to a division title or get us to the SB then I guess he is a disappointment. But the truth is. this is not a very good football team and we have an inexperienced QB and an under-achieving defense.

[outofhnd]

isnt very good? I Don't think we can beat an NFL Europa team the way we have been playing. Isnt very good would actually insinuate we have had a chance to win. I think its time to shuffle the deck and find out what we have and where. If what we have now on the field is our most talented product then we have no shot of winning a single game the rest of the year.

[Nighthawk]

When he was out there today he was rushing everything, throwing nervous, hurrying to get rid of the ball so he wouldn't get hit. It was terrible to watch, and clearly comes from the beating he's taken in recent weeks. On the other hand, he's much better than Carr (though I have to admit, even as a Carr-hater from the second season on, that Carr seems a lot tougher). Sage showed everyone that he's not a starter by throwing intercepts and not much else. I think we've got a problem at QB and it's going to get worse before it gets better. QB is a tricky job. You gotta be smart, fast, accurate, mobile, AND very tough. A fragile QB is like a boxer with a glass jaw.

[Newfan2006]

hey guys first post in a while don't find the talk on here worthwhile at all hundred posts about the same thing and the hypocrits. First of all Schaub is running from pressure the minute he gets the ball in my opinion the first two games weren't so much about AJ as the fact that he was able to be IN THE POCKET unlike Carr he has to run from real pressure. sure, get AJ out there and let him have a target from time to time but ANY of you have ever played quarterback you would realize you standing still and 250 lbs. coming at you while you're trying to throw is much worse than when your running and AVOIDING and yes those DE's he should be scared of. running while throwing let's face it is all he can do and he's done well when he does take the momentary block 3 secs. and BAM he either takes the sack or he gets rid of the ball the difference between him and Carr is


1. Carr ran from imaginary pressure

2. Carr DID have protection when he ran

3. Schaub still makes the play while running

4. Schaub is still new a little older but new compare Carr's second season to schaub's first. I sayu second because although I think of him as a rookie he still has some experience.

I don't turn on the QB first then the team being one who struggled then shone myself I know when you have no talent and no blocks you got nowhere to go and I've seen a million "flashbacks?" posts but Carr for most games had protection and AJ and never delivered the way Schaub did in week one and 2 but give Schaub his superstar and some freakin preotection and we'll see our own little Peyton Manning andd I know ya'll hate Peyton but face it we all would take him on the Texans

[SuperstarII]

All I have to say is even Peyton Manning went 3-13 his first year. But after that they went on a roll. Kubiak needs to better the offensive line and chris white did decent. Now just get rid of salaami and we might have a good offensive line.

[outofhnd]

As I have said I am willing to eat my words. But I see QBs that do a better job with less stellar talent around them and in less time to develop. Its his first year as a starter, but its his 4th year in the league. We had resemblance of a running game however we have no scoring threat. So you are going to tell me instead of the QB willing his team for a TD that its the core of WR's and TEs aside from Andre's fault that we can't score that they can't make the tough catches when it counts? that the O line magically gets worse. I am sick and tired of hearing about how crummy everything is except the leader on offense who hasnt lead us to an offensive TD since week 4.

[redkoolaid]

we might be able to get Tebow in '09!
