    Schaub is awesome.

    It's such a good feeling to go from a bottom 10 QB to a top 10 QB so fast.

    We are totally lucky.

    He's top 10 talent.

    Period.

    So glad he's ours.

    The media doesn't need to be alerted, they already know the same thing I do.

    Yep.

    And more people would disagree with you than me.

    Far more.

    Not people that are NFL fans and not fans of the Texans.

    There are more than 10 QBs in the NFL better than Schaub.....I got him around 12-15ish.

    Incorrect. Way, way incorrect.

    There is a lot of national love for Schaub.

    If anything, there is more local hate/critcism for him than national. Which I find hilarious.

    he's clutch. Matt has made plays when the team needed him to make plays. It just so happens, somebody else screwed up. This season he's a top 6 QB.

    He should have been given one more opportunity to be clutch since kicking 50 yard field goals is a risky last chance option. Poor coaching decision to have Schaub run that sneak.

    I agree.

    I would have liked to see a draw there for 6-8 yards.

    GIVE US THAT LIST OF 11-14 QB's BETTER THAN SCHAUB

    The media all year has been saying Schaub is playing like a top 5 quarterback. No one is going to respect your overplayed opinion if you never back it up

    I'm pro-Schaub, but he's far from perfect (and FAR, FAR from the biggest problem on this team). His lack of a "plus" arm cost him a pick-six against the Cards (thinking he could complete that throw was dumb), and six points against the Titans yesterday. He had AJ streaking past two defenders and because he underthrew it, AJ was brought down before he could score. I think we had to settle for 3 on that trip down the field. He had other WRs open, but underthrew them a little causing them to come back to the ball to make a play, and not get upfield.

    I think he tries to force it to AJ too much (especially now without OD), but I think he's growing as a QB with each passing game. He got out of sync during the third quarter, and never really got it back until that final drive. I think the OC and Kubiak could've helped more on that end - calling better routes to get him back on track.

    I just wish this team could get the carrot of a win sometimes just to boost their confidence level.

    Are we thinking of the same play? 3rd and 1 playaction, AJ streaking from left to right across the field?

    He "underthrew" it out of necessity. The safety was trailing over the top, but if Schaub throws it up the field, it would have given the safety an angle to get back into the play and potentially break it up. By throwing it where he did, Schaub guaranteed himself a long completion and a 3rd down conversion. It was a beast of a throw... I can't let you sell him short on that one at all

    You seem REALLY happy today. I thought last night you weren't sure who to root for?

    Griffin was trailing the play, and AJ had to break stride to catch the ball. He reached back and had to bend to get the ball. If you place it over his right shoulder, he's probably gone and we get 7 instead of 3. That was a four-point play, IMO.
