Houston fan's words to me, "Schaub's last pick 6 was when the Raiders gave the Texans a 6"


A guy I work with told me when we traded for Schaub, "He just threw another pick 6, meaning the Raiders gave up a 6 for him".

This is his version of Schaub, great teammate, will never throw players or coaches under the buss. Very accurate, deadly between the 20's, will constantly move the chains. He made the statement that Schaub did not have 1 bad year, he had 1 1/2 bad years. Houston noticed the decline halfway through 2012. He asked me if Antonio Smith has ever endorsed him as a great QB (he said Antonio Smith is a great teammate and he would never throw Schaub under the buss but he knows his best days are behind him.)

He informed me this is what Schaub does that got him killed in Houston: never runs or extends the play, 0 pocket awareness, No arm strength (I have been a huge proponent of the Raider's acquiring Desean Jackson) not in Schaubs offense (can not throw deep) The biggest thing that Schaub will do is, "when he is off the 3 and outs never stop" he looses his confidence quickly, if receivers drop balls or running backs fumble he wilts.

I watched the Green Bay game with my bud and he said that was a typical Schaub game, and by the way he did not think Schaub did that bad, he put more blame on the wr's for dropping balls than Schaub making mistakes.

I will be totally honest when I first saw the game I was cussing Schaub, after watching a second time I understood what he was saying, not always agreeing but understanding. Reece, Jones, Rivera have not helped Schaub.

I think if we start Schaub we will be 3 to 5 win team, and lose our first two games, I believe if we start MM we could jump out 2-0 and have a chance to finish 8-8.
