I never reccommended that. I don't think the plan ever should have included Keenum. If you get lucky with a guy you didn't invest in you thank the football gods.
The colossal failure was the Schaub extension. He was coming off major injury and the front office bet he would be as good/better over the length of the deal than he was before the deal. Obviously that was a bad bet. We could have played out that season with Schaub on his deal and definitively known after last season he wasn't the guy (and that for reasons health related or other, he wasn't the same QB). Instead we gambled that we could win with him and gave him a salary that locked him in as the starting QB for two more seasons and will hit the cap for an unspecified amount of time after he is done in Houston. That is a colossal failure and a waste of the end of AJ's prime and the start of Watt's. If anyone sees it any other way I truly don't understand how.
