I'm done with Kubiak and Schaub. They need to go

[Arky]

I've never been a big Kubiak or Schaub basher. With Kubiak, I'm well aware of his shortcomings and am willing to forgive his (IMO, minor) trespasses and conservatism.... But his QB is really making him look bad, lately.

With Schaub, I had absolutely no gripes towards him early in his career. It was nice watching the franchise go from a loser into a winner and a playoff team. And then there was that confusing set of OT's games last year (Det and Jax) where he was alternately good and bad (threw an INT in both OT's). This was followed by mainly poor showing down the 1-3 stretch. They beat Cincy in the playoffs then crumbled against New England (not a good day for the defense either). I'm not sure why this is. Some have speculated he's (Schaub) not the same after the lis franc injury which, the way I understand it, can have a deteriorating effect over time and even become arthritic.... he's not stepping into his throws with the same conviction.

At some point, the bad starts outweighing the good.

Can he (Schaub) turn it around and salvage this season? Still 12 games to go.... but I'm not optimistic about this. Tne problem is, there is no Kubiak doghouse for Matt Schaub. I'd say everybody else - yes. I'm afraid Kubiak is willing to go down with the ship (Schaub) because (paraphrasing) "he gives us our best shot to advance".

Some act as though if Yates or Keenum were to start getting a few snaps that the season would be over. All through NFL history there have been instances where a team's backup QB has led a team to the playoffs and even the Superbowl. The Texans really should consider giving Schaub some pine time occasionally when he's stinking it up. But it'll probably never happen..... and that part is on Kubiak.....

---------------------------

Kubes fell on his sword post-game saying it was on him (of course) - the pick six. He said (paraphrasing) "was trying to stay aggressive". lol, a 5 yard dink pass to OD is "aggressive"? We've got different definitions of aggressive...

----------------------------

After having a nice first half, can we not go into victory formation in the 3rd quarter?

----------------------------

On to Sunday Night Football next weekend against SF. Early line, the 49'ers are favored by 6.5 to 7.

I agree with everything you said, Arky. And I think the only ones in Houston right now that still feel Schaub is the answer are the 3 boobs running the show - McNair, Smith and Kubiak. Can Yates/Keenum seriously be THAT much worse than Schaub? I don't think so. In fact, I think that if they had someone back there that even had the slightest ability to get out of the pocket and run when things break down this offense would so much more effective. It blows my mind the boob HC can't see that. Schaub is a game manager at this point in his career, and not a very good one at that. I'm pretty confident Yates and/or Keenum can manage a game.
