    I'll add that any time you post a diatribe on a discussion board, you come across as some sort of self-aggrandizing douche

    Paragraphs my friend. Paragraphs. Use them more, especially if you want people to actually read your long posts/walls of text.

    I started with good sized paragraphs and it was really late and was really tired and wanted to complete before I lost all my thoughts. But then I just kept on writing and didn't even go back and re-edit the post for well broken out paragraphs. Oh well. It is what it is. Live and Learn. *sigh* I worked really hard putting my thoughts and the general texan fans thoughs down on matt schaubs evolution as a texans quarter back and where he and texans need to move forward in the future into a story format and 40 out of the 43 posts are about the lenght and lack of paragraphs.

    I have learned one acronym that i didn't know tl;dr because of my post so I have become more knowledgeable in a few ways because of this post. :)

    This is my final post responding to the size of post and paragraphs. I loved the constructive crticism and am not beyond any for sure and will take those into consideration for any future posts of similar nature. Thank you!

    tl;dr version:

    Will do better next time and appreciate the constructive criticism.

    And with that, I'm done addressing the length of the OP.

    I said this game would be the defining moment for Matt Schaub and we should end his existence as a Texan if we end up losing this game by 10 plus points. If we don't make a change then we seriously have fire the coach immediately as the starting lineups are made and Schaub is declared the starter.

    Good News everyone Texans will be making some changes sooner rather than later.

    Well, he is in historic territory -- I don't think you can interrupt him now. He could be to the pick six what Babe Ruth was to the home run.

    He just needs to point to the wrong end zone when breaking the huddle, and chills would go down our spines. We would know we were witnessing sports history.

    "Twas a Long Time Ago: Matt Schaub, under the microscope," by Leo Tolstoy, with a forward by James Joyce.

    The OP is young and has heart. But he has no common sense or wisdom.

    The Texans will NEVER win anything with Schaub and Kubiak. NEVER. I would bet my own life on it, that's how confident I'am.
