    If your only concern about our starting QB is his ability to nail the best WR in the NFL in stride on deep balls that get thrown 1-2 times a game, then I'd say we are set at QB.

    It happens more than that. In fact, the ball that went off AJ's knee for a game-killing INT was one of those - behind Johnson and low.

    For whatever reason, Schaub has a noodle arm about once every 7-8 throws.

    Lots of people (especially national) don't consider Schaub a top 10 QB because of his W/L record and lack of playoff success. I think that's what people are trying to dispute.

    that was just a pass that was a little off, not one he couldnt make because it was too far.

    Catching a pass at your back knee while running towards the sideline isn't going to happen for just about anyone.

    but the San Diego ball wasn't a that deep of a route, which was the issue being talked about.

    It is those long developing bootlegs where he has to hit AJ 40 yard on the fly right where they are a sign of his arm strength faults.

    Look, there are plenty of cases that show Matts lack of arm strength, but pointing to the San Diego int where AJ was only 15-20 on a crossing route in the middle where the ball is a little off target is hardly a good example.

    Actually the ball was a little low and slightly in front of AJ (VERY catchable), and the pass was near the middle-right portion of the field, with AJ running towards the middle of the hashmarks.

    Not sure what play you're talking about.

    Check it out, 3:20 mark.

    This is the Texan's year, I think they get the number 1 or 2 seed in the AFC.

    I feel they will win this division
    I think the colts are in great decline

    watching 'tutu' go bezerk again was painful.

    They're going to be in the playoffs, just by having a competent defensive scheme, once there... ALL THINGS ARE POSSSSIBLE!!!

    Dickerson was cut. I had high hopes for that guy but he just never showed anything in the preseason, which was surprising because he showed some positives last year in games.

    Bryant Johnson looked solid though
