    Definately needs to be redone, but ehhhhh.....im going more 80-20.

    DD's and his multiple alternate accounts are going to be about 8% of that "not clutch", along with 2% he's going to bring over from the San Antonio board that doesnt even watch our game, and the other 10% being VY obssesors.

    Put Shaub in with the titans young recievers see how well he does. What running game does peyton manning have? Shaub has an elite recieving corp.

    Manning could go down as the best quarterback to play this game, so it's not fair to compare him. For most of the time he's been there, they have had a pretty good running game with James in his prime and Addai. Not to mention guys like Clark and Wayne (and formerly Harrison in his prime) to throw to he's always had an elite receiving corp as well

    LMAO.

    Reaching for anything to discredit Matt.

    Give him some credit, FFS.

    I give him all the credit in the world. He is a good QB, but it is disingenuous to say he has not had talent around him.

    when the Titans win, it's because of VY. when they lose, it's because he has crappy receivers. that's not disingenous at all.

    Nobody says he hasnt had talent. But when VY supporters say his receivers are crap, they tend to forget that its the only area where he has a defeciency around him. Schaub has had a pretty average to poor offensive line, and a very inconsistent running game. What good are great receivers when the D is not respecting the running game and you dont have time to throw??

    On the other hand, I have seen Titans games where VY has all day and throws to wide open receivers. Collins was doing the same thing last year.

    elite receiving core? AJ, obviously the best in the game. OD, a top tier TE, but he also missed half the season. walters? average at best...he had a poor year. Jones? Mr. inconsistant. Had some big plays this year and may actually be turning the corner, but he is still what you consider an average wr at this point. Anderson? average alot guy...effective but nothing "elite".

    They have a solid WR group, but by no means "elite".

    Just thought this was kind of ironic considering the last 2 Games these QB's played. Even "clutch" QB's make mistakes. :)

    There is no question I want Schaub in the 4th late in the game. How clutch! Lesser QB's might be sitting. He just wins!. . . :grin:

    That was a career defining performance by Schaub (and for the Texans organization). The Redskins were getting pressure all night, and Schaub was constantly making plays on his feet to keep drives alive. He took some shots and kept getting up

    Nice to see what happens to a QB on game winning/tying drives when the kicker doesn't choke an easy one or a RB cough it up going in to the end zone.


    I liked when he threw the screen pass to Johnson for 50+ yards. Or in overtime when he found Johnson who had lined up at tight end down the middle for 20+ to set up the GW FG.


    And doesn't Johnson double in that 83 jersey doing all the "dirty work."


    That's like saying Jerry Rice made Steve Young. :grin:

    Hell yeah he's clutch!! He just continues to awe me in pressure situations. What he did in the 4th quarter and overtime today was EPIC. We are lucky to have him as our QB.

    There's no doubt Andre helps Schaub a great deal, but Andre can't throw the ball to himself. Also, Matt makes Andre a better receiver. When we had Carr at the helm, Andre was maybe top 5 at best?
