    Great article.

    As I mentioned in another thread, I've been lucky to become acquainted with some of the players.

    I was told that Schaub lost the team early, as a lot of the team thinks he "sucked".

    Case tore up the 1st team d repeatedly in practice squad last year

    Kubiak chews players out like no other behind closed doors(that's for those who claimed he doesn't), but the team loves the guy to no end. Many players will say he is the best coach they've ever played for.

    ^^^^
    That's why I think he is staying.

    Kubiak did a great job changing the offense to become more suited to Keenum and opened it up more as he gained experience. For that alone, he has my respect.

    Regardless, McNair needs to seriously sit down with Kubiak in the offseason and figure out his vision for next year. If Kubiak truly is a QB-friendly coach, he will deliver another potent offense that allows Keenum to shine.

    Kubiak is staying. This team has a young qb looking to become a star. Even if they draft a Bridgewater/Manziel/Mariota, who better to coach them.

    I am convinced that Kubiak made Schuab what he is. The play calling was always there, but when you have a qb that averaged almost 5 yards a throw when he is an accurate passer, that presents problems.

    This is the problem that most people dont realize with Kubiak. The so called "conservative"offense was more so because of schaub than kubiak. in fact its the same plays that we've seen schaub run 1000 times. Keenum is not scared the throw it deep, schaub always was.

    We've always had WR's and TE's running by the coverage yet it would still result in a dump off to someone over the middle. That's Schaub, not Kubiak.

    As a head coach has he fundementally made some mistakes, but a lot of them he's learned from. (see what his winning % is on challenges now vs several years ago)
