If he was the equivalent of Schaub at his peak and could sustain it longer, yes, I'd be happy with that.
Pre-injury Schaub, sure I'm good with that. Texans go to Super Bowl in 2012 if Schaub was healthy for playoffs. Do we really expect to see a QB ranking list of Rodgers/ Brady/ Newton/ OSWEILER? Its about being a Upper-2ND tier QB with complete TEAM play and good run to win the Super Bowl. That QB group has several candidates in it like Luck, R Wilson, Dalton, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Etc. Being in that top 10-12 with the Joe Flaccos and Eli Mannings isnt exactly a terrible thing.
pre injury schaub with leadership would be nice. for all the drooling some do for romo, how far in the playoffs during that "contender" year did tony get them? A Loss in the second game, in a playoff appearance that took 7 seasons? It's tough being a qb.
Good Schaub-like is a safe place to be. You can win with that + an elite defense, so long as the QB isn't making fate-sealing mistakes. That outcome would actually be fair IMO. Middle-of-the-road -- right at Brock's paygrade.
Matt Schaub's best stat lines? Absolutely. Any other attributes or Schaub specific descriptors, I'll pass.
Schaub posted a 90+ QB rating in five consecutive seasons. Overall, between 2008 and 2012, his QB rating was 94 with a 7.9 YPA. He was, for that stretch, a borderline top 5 QB; easily top 10. Anyone who doesn't answer YES, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! (was that a choice?) on this thread should go watch another sport because football confuses and scares them and/or they get all their information from Hot Take Land and don't posses an ounce of personal insight.
no matter if he puts up 4000, 31 tds. we must all come together and ban the essential "Brock , the great" thread that will come.
I want John Elway, not Matt Schaub. We need rings, not moral victory seasons that end in 1st- or 2nd-round playoff losses.
So you want a QB who was terrible at passing the ball for the first decade he was in the NFL? Sorry, but John Elway numbers get you run out of the league today, he was Tim Tebow bad for the first 10 seasons but it was back when that didn't matter.
Yup, that's right, i remember it came as such a shock because Casey normally had arguably the best hands on the team.
John Elway seems like a really strange marker... Very good QB, obviously - but his rings, like Manning's this past year, came well past his prime when he was hanging on by a thread.
I guess I was trying to link the Broncos QBs to Brock...as in I want an elite QB that can deliver rings; not an "elite" QB that chokes. Elway had that winning gene; was great at orchestrating comebacks; maybe not the best comparison but I'm trying to just get away from Schaub and any other QB that played for the Texans.
(massive eye roll....) He was 2-4 in Super Bowls; and he had next-to-no impact on the two wins. There's no such thing as a winning gene, or "it," or any other bull**** magic voodoo when it comes to athletes.
