Trickles down from the owner, to the coach, to the players, ha. They all say the same thing. I think we've heard these very words from Kubiak during the season. McNair, last offseason: (on Qb Matt Schaub and supporting him) “I think Matt had a good year and I think all of us need to play better when the limelight is brighter. And we didn’t do that. But that wasn’t just Matt; we have 53 people on that team and everybody needs to step it up. We need to step it up, I need to do better, everybody needs to do better in this organization to get us there. Matt has all the ability in the world. We haven’t said that he was quote “the best quarterback in the league,” he’s certainly one of the top ten. We’ve said that all along and we feel that way, and he can be one of the top five. I think he has the ability to do that. He hasn’t quite gotten there yet but that’s not to say that he won’t get there. I think that the injury he had did slow him down some. He was probably in the back of his mind a little concerned about reinjuring his foot and we certainly didn’t want to see that happen. He’s gonna work hard in the offseason on improving his foot speed, and I think that will happen.”
Trade Matt to Jags. Jags just lost their QB for the season. and pick up their first rounder. or atleast 2nd rounder. and then during draft trade jags second rounder and our first rounder and move up in draft and draft a better QB which fits in. that should solve the Draft side.
If I was on the Texans I'd be getting really sick of carrying Schaub and taking the blame for his failures.
Schaub probably doesn't even get you a 4th rounder at this point. Jags WANT to be bad and load up in the draft
this x 10000000 where does this need to protect schaub for any and all criticism come from? they treat him (and he treats himself) like he's a "special" kid, like he's incapable of taking criticism. i'm damn near shocked he doesn't wear ear muffs and mittens to press conferences nowadays.
Kapernick has nobody on his team that can get seperation except Vernon Davis( and he is battling a hammy injury right now), Boldin pushes off to get open, and other than that they got no one besides Frank Gore. The Texans have more talent on Offense right now than the 49ers.... Kapernick> Schaub
Cut Schaub at the end of the season. Sign a decent quarterback who's better fit as a backup but a fringe starter. Draft a QB in the first round.
Did anyone see, or does anyone know the stat they showed about Schaub passing on bootleg compared to other passing plays? I don't remember and I tried to find it but couldn't and I don't want to quote anything wrong. It just showed that he is awesome when bootleg and throw to open receiver, but is terrible in other pass plays. I can't remember what Quarter it was, but it was coming from a timeout. It was right on time cause I had just posted in the game thread that I wondered what his passing percentage was when he is not throwing to open crossing routes. The stat dated back to 2009-present, and this is the reason I bring it up. I had been saying he wasn't as good of a passer (even when he was throwing for all those yards) when it came to throwing into coverage. He has been the same since day one, bootleg to open receivers and he and the numbers are great. Any other type of passes to covered receiver and he sucks, numbers don't lie. The problem now is teams are sitting on those flats and crossing routes, which is making him throw more int's. They have taken away his only strength. If the open crossing routes are not available, Schaub is useless. The most telling thing is his numbers now..... he still has a passing percentage of 63.7 and passing yards of 271. Those are still pretty good numbers if that is all you look at, that is why I pay very little attention to numbers. You got to give it the eye ball test. If someone can find the footage of the stat they showed, or the stat itself. It would be greatly appreciated.
I believe it was shown around halfway into the 1st quarter, maybe even in the 2nd. The stat showed that Schaub throws roughly 58% off of the bootleg which is higher than whatever it was being compared to... I'm interested as well.

I remember it was somewhere between 58%-63% off of the bootleg and somewhere between 34%-38% non-bootleg.
