As I mentioned last week, Schaubs biggest problem by far is his lack of mobility in the pocket. In games like yesterday where our o-line is getting beat consistently, that kind of QB is not likely to shine. He will get sacked more often than a mobile QB, he will throw more interceptions than a mobile QB, he will get injured more often than a mobile QB, and he will have more fumbles than a mobile QB. One play in the third quarter a rusher came straight up the middle and was right on Rosenfels. Rosey just took a step sideways and the rusher flew right by him. The next time I see Schaub do that will be the first.
I think Schaub is a solid NFL talent. He reads very well and is above average in accuracy. And his arm is pleanty strong enough. But a team which goes with a QB like Schaub MUST have the o-line personnel to protect him on a consistent basis. We're obviously not there yet, but maybe we'll get there. Our o-line is young, and if they continue to improve, maybe we'll only need a couple of upgrades. I just hope Schaub doesn't get killed before it happens.
