The fantasy football article doesn't matter at all. The best case and worst case fantasy situations are pointless when discussing real football.
What does matter is that Schaub has been mostly good for his time here in Houston and then was mostly terrible (along with the rest of the offense) down the stretch last year. If he wasn't hurt in some way they never let on, than I am worried that he plays that way again. And even if he doesn't play that way again, I am worried that he is never better than he was in the first half of 2012 (good but not great).
Either way I am worried about the QB position as it relates to the Texans winning the superbowl. At this point I would say our only chance is that Cushing stays healthy, the defense looks like it did in the first 6 games last year, Mercilous is a stud, and we are able to avoid NE. If all that happens I could see us securing a bye and grinding out 3 playoff wins. After all, you don't have to be the best team in to NFL to win a superbowl (see Ravens, Baltimore, 2012). But this team is not winning a title on the strength of an efficient and above average offense.
