I guess it’s only fitting they retire the same day.

The fated QB sneak from our own end zone shortened his prime, and 2011 was by far our best chance at a SB in team history. Had he not been hurt, I think we win the title.

Yeah... I think the collapse in '12 and then utter collapse in '13 had skewed a lot of opinions of that era - but the Texans were the best team in football when Schaub got hurt in 2011. And even with a *third*-string rookie QB, they pushed Baltimore, on the road, in the divisional round. A healthy Schaub........

I've officially ranked it the 2nd most devastating injury in Houston sports (since 2002).

Y’all remember that game winner he threw to Dre - was it against the Skins? Deep bomb Dre goes way up and comes down and spikes that MFer! That was awesome.

Matt Schaub Sets Ambitions on NFLPA Executive Director Position
https://www.profootballnetwork.com/...r-position-want-to-advocate-and-help-players/

Schaub’s Priorities Include Health and Finances
Upgrading medical coverage is a huge item on Schaub’s agenda.

“If you’re a vested veteran, you have five years of coverage after you retire under the same plan, and then you’re rolled off of it,” Schaub said. “That’s a big thing. We’re all going to be retired one day. The thing is, whatever your injury history or status, you’re going to deal with some stuff.

“A lot of those things, those medical issues, don’t come to fruition in the first five years. My thought is there needs to be lifetime health care, and that needs to be priority No. 1 for every single player. You’re looking at the long game of life and taking care of themselves and their family.

“That resonates and hits home with every player. That’s something as a current player, you have access to trainers and doctors and an unparalleled amount of care for bumps and bruises to surgery and the rehabilitation process. We need to take a hard look at this. I believe every player should have a top three list of the things that they hold most important and medical should be No. 1 for every single guy.”

Player compensation is another issue Schaub is focused on about how the revenue pie is sliced up among owners and players

“There’s still a considerable gap between rookie minimums and veteran minimums,” he said. “The rise of revenue is about eight percent over the years, and the rise in league revenue and rookie minimums have gone up, but it has not gone up enough. There’s a way to fix that difference between the haves and the have-nots in the locker room. We need to take a hard look at this. Look at the sale of the Denver Broncos. They were sold for $4.65 billion, and the average team is valued at $4.1 billion to $4.2 billion.

“There’s a lot of money on the table. It’s hard to see the long game and the big picture, but that’s where the union needs to advocate to help those players, the majority of the guys, who start to transition to their post-football life. We’ll see how it all plays out, but the goal needs to be hiring a leader with a clear vision for the future of the union and a firm, detailed plan to implement that vision.”

Good for him. They way the NFL treats the players is a ****ing embarrassment.
