How Tight is the QB Leash? Or is Schaub Just Too Conservative?

[Keith]

Vick's career completion percentage is 56.3%. Only once was he ever over 60% in a single season (2010). Only once has he ever played all 16 regular season games (2006). Baggage aside, it's intriguing, a la Randall Cunningham in 1998. But realistically, yeah it's message board fodder.

Well, few teams are really strong at backup QB. Can't say that T.J. Yates is a bad one... I do realize he did win a playoff game. I'm ok with him and Keenum dueling for the backup job again next summer. One of them might show some true improvement.
