David Carr was far more mobile than TJ or Keenum and was awful with the boot. It is not a running play.

Schaub is slow but fits what Kubiak does very well. That is why we have been a top 10 offense for a half a decade with him at QB and every important piece other than AJ rotating.
I remember Jake Plummer as Denver's QB when Kubiak was still there as their OC and Plummer could really run, and that skill made him effective in the bootlegs to a degree that a Matt Schaub just can't be notwithstanding Matt's ability as a ball handler and throwing while on the move. That's the same kind of athlete I yearn for the Texans to have at QB in this offense.
