I know it has been said that he should have thrown it away, and that is 100% true. In the heat of the play, it is often tough to do that. That is why we pay Schaub all that money...to throw the ball, and not have Chris Brown throw it. In my past experience running that idiotic play, I was always afraid to throw the pick, so I usually just ran it and ate the ball, afraid to do with CB did.
People named Brown have now possibly cost us 5 games this year....and counting.

Actually, according to Kubes and Matt, they practiced that play this last week and they got exactly what they wanted in the game. Brown mishandled the transition of the ball in order to pass it and then was hit as he was passing it. According to them, they had their guy open n the back of the end zone. Its on the main sites videos if you want to watch it.
