maybe they fall apart, but anyone who thinks that they can't win 3-4 of their remaining games with leinart is not being realistic. schaub is important to this team, but they aren't going to turn into the manningless colts due to this. the defense is good, the running game is good, and they play jax, carolina, indy, and tenn in 4 of their remaining games. they should be able to win all 4 of those no manner who the qb is. the defense gave up a total of 28 points in the three games against the titans, colts and jags(and these points were on drives starting at the texans' 8 and 26). the defense is not going to all of the sudden cave, the o-line isn't going to all of the sudden forget how to block, and foster and tate aren't going to all of the sudden start sucking.
this is definitely a blow to hopes of an afc title, but they should still get to at least 10 wins unless leinart is absolutely awful.
