Realistic if Leinart plays average to above average, 6-0 is possible. IMO worse case would be 3-3.

So I am going 4-2 as my goal.

See I think the floor would have been 3 wins with Schaub, but with Leinert it might be the ceiling ? Hope you're right and I'm wrong.

4-2, with a chance to run the table, is my guess. Heck if Leinhart can just hand off to Foster & Tate, we should be good for 4-2, and with AJ back, there is a more than even chance we run it out.

Check out this podcast on Leinart and whether he will lead the team to success or failure. You won’t believe some of the comments.

Can someone give me the gist of it?

Chatty Casserly's breaking news this morning was that Schaub would seek a second opinion on his foot.

Umm, we knew that.

Ya, this is the way I see it, too. The first game against Jax is very important. If the Texans win and Leinart looks good, gains some confidence, then the high end (6-0) is certainly possible. 5-1 also has a nice ring to it....

Who'dve thunk at the beginning of the season that the Texans might enter the playoffs for the first time with Matt Leinart as the QB?

I tend to agree that Leinart should get us through the regular season OK. While I don't think he'll be able to navigate the playoffs, I had the same concerns about Schaub and expected this to be the "learning" year where we gain some experience for future runs. I just didn't expect us to go from never making the playoffs to Super Bowl. Just seems like you have to get your feet wet once or twice first. What I hate about Schaub's injury most is that he will miss out on getting any playoff experience.

Looks like they are starting to build a file for a QB3....

So depressing......

Former Rice QB Clement to work out for Texans

Former Rice quarterback Chase Clement will work out with the Texans on Monday.

The Texans are looking for depth at quarterback with starter Matt Schaub possibly out for the remainder of the season.

Clement has spent the past two seasons playing for the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League. He led the Locos to the 2010 championship and was named MVP of the title game.

Any reason why the Texans are limiting their search to a 5-mile radius they can conduct on their lunch break?

Because Case Keenum hasn't graduated yet?

[WMH]

Not to be Nancy Negative, or Chuck , but if we get to QB4, does it really matter who it is?

Branching out a little for ya:
@McClain_on_NF Jeff Garcia and Trent Edwards are working out for texans with Kellen Clemens and Brody Croyle.

What? Not Tyler Thigpen? Where's Rosenchopper?

If that scenario comes to pass, then we are home free ! I would fully expect us to challenge for the top-seed and compete effectively in the playoffs.
But I think Leinart will really struggle in Jacksonville. Dang, he has not taken a single snap in a regular season game since sometime in 2009, how could he not ? Say what you want about Leinart getting a lot of reps in practice the last few weeks because Schaub has been banged-up, how is that anything like game action during the regular season vs a very good defense like the Jags have ?

I need to revise this:

Who'dve thunk at the beginning of the season that the Texans might enter the playoffs for the first time with TJ Yates as the QB?
