Good news for us then, as most of our pressure comes from rushing 4. Of course, we like to make all-stars out of rookies, don't be shocked if Foles gives the Eagles false hope.
Look what Pete is doing with Wilson. Find a high upside QB and let him game manage the team as he gets better. Feed him more and more of the offense until he can run it full on
I mean Schoob can't make stick throws with his noodle arm. You don't pay $10m a year for that. Schaub sets your ceiling and these bed shittings is what he does in pressure moments
Edit. Yates has a noodle too. Unless you are Peyton Manning you need a good arm in the NFL. Russ may be small but he can fling it. Schaub cant stress a defense vertically and it kills them vs good Ds

The ceiling of any QB from UVA, I might add.
Which reminds me, Schaub was drafted by the Falcons who also drafted Vick (VT) and Matt Ryan (BC). What's with the Falcons and underachieving ACC QB's?

Fucking lol at Texans fans who would rather have Yates than Schaub. Really? I mean what the fuck?
It's like last year never happened. Or this year before last night.

I have bad news for you, the motivations of fans and coaches/GMs are only aligned to a point. No GM is going to risk his hide by dropping off an adequate QB that will give you winning seasons to maybe, hopefully get lucky with a longshot player.
The difference is a good 4-7 years of employment with a winning franchise, perhaps significantly longer or getting fired in 2 years after your shitty fourth round quarterback gets his ass whooped.
It's easy for us fans to say, "Championship or bust!" when our jobs aren't on the line.
.
Last time I checked playoffs are primetime pressure type games.
I don't ever see schaub doing something like Yates did last year on that final drive against the bengals. Do you not see an issue when I am talking about our, at the time, third string qb?

You can add Vick to that list. He has a much better arm then Schaub but he is also getting hurt all the time. Texans OL is a lot better then the Eagles so maybe he would be an improvement. Texans seem like a team built to run it and then play action and go deep, but their QB just cant get the ball deep. I think his arm really hampers a lot of what they could do on offense.
TB tried to blitz a lot and Foles really made them pay. If the Bengals are smart they will just rush 4 and wait for Foles to force passes into coverage like he loves to do. I have a feeling this is going to be a really easy win for the Bengals.

Texans ore the '08 Titans
sorry guys
sorry guys
So what do you think? More CBs and WRs this off season?
Fuck yeah, 2 more wins!
TE's
How much goodwill will be left if ATL doesn't make some noise in the playoffs? Will they be happy with Ryan's extension?

Did you even watch the Ravens game last year?
Because the reason they lost was due to Yates being the shit quarterback that he is. I really can't believe theres a single Texans fan who really thinks Yates is a better option than Schaub.
Gruden made it seem like the offense really suffered from missing Graham. Agree?
What about those guys underachieved? They all did pretty well considering the complete lack of talent around them.
Wali Lundy was the best skill player on those UVA teams, not that there were any expectations on UVA.
That VT team that made it the MNC was terrible - got completely humiliated in that game outside of Vick running for his life. Remember Andre Davis (Madden '04 Legend) and Lee (Fumble) Suggs?
Matt Ryan's best receiver was some tailback named Callendar they'd split out wide over half the time. It's hilarious that they managed to be in the BCS conversation. The main thing I remember is that absurd sideline throw Matt made against Georgia Tech when he got nailed in the face.
Yates would have played more conservative if that idiot Jacoby hadn't given up a TD.
We had the lead!

Sorry, I meant underachieving once they made it to the NFL (although even that might be arguable depending on your definition of underachieving).
I'm a VT grad myself so I've got nothing against Vick. Not too fond of the other two, though.
That BC comeback win over VT a few years back was one of the worst nights of my life. Cold, wet, ready to rush the field with a few minutes left, and eventually completely devastated.
Boo
Texans unbeaten in games not played against teams that start with P.

All 11 defenders should be within 5 yards of the LOS.

The Patriots D had Schaub scared
He's the most winning QB in franchise history. There's no fucking way they let him walk. You realize how hilariously downtrodden this franchise is, right? It took us until three seasons ago to have consecutive winning seasons. We've never been to the playoffs in three out of four seasons (and don't fucking remind me that we've lost to the eventual NFC Champs all three times).
Squicken, you're older than most of us in this thread. You of all people should know that it's fucking rare to win a SB - think of all that greats that never managed to get there.
Yeah, I have faith in the kid. I watch him every week, and he works his tail off, never gets down, and he's at his best late in games - even after the shit hits the fan. After watching clowns like George, Christopher Chandelier, Mike Vick, Doug Johnson/Kurt Kittner that one season, Joey Harrington take the field and completely tune out, it's refreshing as hell to see.
I like to think that y'all know that I'm a pretty realistic fan, and, frankly, I see more flaws on the right side of the offensive line than I do in our QB. Interior pressure ruins every quarterback, and we've struggled to block the A and B gaps on the right side for the past five weeks now. I thought Konz would be an improvement over Reynolds, but he's a beat too slow laterally against the stunt. That is what concerns me right now, especially with the Giants coming to town. I expect us to counter with more screen plays.
Now, wallow in the irony of me pasting the OP with exclusively QBs in ESPN's favored style.
Don't think you can really say that either outside of Vick. Schaub was a third round pick, and he was considered a developmental prospect at best with his arm strength and lack of mobility. Matt Ryan's only in his fifth season, and he's won a ton of games.Sorry, I meant underachieving once they made it to the NFL (although even that might be arguable depending on your definition of underachieving).

I mean if you're only criteria is winning Superbowls, then everybody sucks outside of Eli, Tom, The Rapist/Messiah, and AGod, which is fine.

I hold not one scintilla of hope for the Ravens chances this Sunday. We've never beaten Peyton Manning, even when we were good, and with Flacco going into full on "Road Mode" even at home, we're not going to start now.
So for this week, I'm going to let my hate fuel me and temporarily squicken over to a new team. LETS GO PATS!!!! I love my handsome Tommy, the lord and savior of New England, and the Sublime Genius Bill, and can not wait to watch them pick apart the overrated Niners D. Tom will dance in the pocket and make Aldon Smith look foolish. Crazy Harbaugh will spit and curse as he is outcoached by a better man. Kap will fold under the pressure, and Alex will smile.

You're right, I guess Schaub and Ryan have worked out at least as well as expected. You'd think I'd be familiar with the philosophy of downplaying the importance of SB wins, being a Dolphins fan and all. Poor Dan Marino.

I have been taken in by Handsome Tom's charisma, who can resist? Plus, that camera thing, I never thought it was a big deal.
Also, I hate the Niners so much.
Me either. What can Kap do against Ty and Troy? Nothing.

You should be. They have a great rushing attack, a big armed mobile QB, and a tough physical defense.

Not saying that at all, but the Pats have lost to 2 NFCW teams already and now they are playing the best that the NFCW has to offer.

In Atlanta? Imagine all the car wrecks.
I've been living in the Midwest for years, man. Pay attention!
There would literally be no cars. The entire city would shut down for three days.
