Trend. The Texans defense isn't good, and he will need to throw alot. He has good targets to throw to, also.
Brees, P. Manning and maybe Brady. The guy just has the ideal situation this year.
BreesManning
People say lots of dumb things after week one. So far this year, Schaub's averaging almost exactly the same ypg total as he averaged last year. His TD% is way up and is almost certain to regress, but I don't think it's out of the question for it to settle in around 5% on the season, especially given how poor his RBs have looked. 5% TD rate would mean 28 TDs on the season, which seems eminently reasonable.
Brees, Manning, Brady. Probably Rivers, although it's pretty close. I'd take Schaub over Rogers, especially with how bad GB's OLine has been this year.
From a fantasy perspective I think schuab is a stat collector, so he is a guy i generally want him on FF teams as long as I remember to have a better back-up than when I have one of the 1st level guys. From a real NFL perspective he really reminds of Matt H. out in Seattle, not just from style of play, but as a guy who on his good days is just below elite. The problem is that he has enough bad days, missed plays , etc where you he is definately not 1st cut player, and probably not a 2nd cut guy, but a legitimate NFL starter (when healthy). If the rest of my team is above average overall, he can do some things in the playoffs, but if it is not, Schaub can't push them to another level.
thank you magic 8 ballwho else is going to get injured this year so I can plan accordingly?
What Karma said. ditto.Glad I own him
and he plays those same boo-boo defenses again later on this season.
the guy is a s-t-u-d ..this is definitely a trend, he's been a great QB the past two seasons, despite the injuries he's posted phenominal numbers..Thus says an Andre Johnson owner.
Only the uninformed said it. He played the Jets for goodness sakes.
What week is he going down?
Damn right. I own the studs and this clueless staff has no idea how to get this stud the ball. They are gone soon adn if I can get Shanahan or Holmgren in there, look out casue AJ goes nuts. I'm sick of Kubiak's #### plan.
No, thus says someone with "Brett Favre" in his user name. I bet he thinks Schaub should draw some plays up in the dirt and just go have fun out there chucking it, play with a real playground mentality. Basically, he thinks Schaub should just be a big kid out there.aburt19 said:Thus says an Andre Johnson owner.FavreCo said:

What I think is that this coaching staff has had enough time and let's get someone with a clue in there. The Jets outcoached them and so did Del Rio of all people. That's pathetic.
I don't think refusing to force-feed the ball to Andre Johnson last week is a sign of being outcoached. When throwing to Andre Johnson last week, Schaub was 4 of 7 for 86 yards with an INT. When throwing to Kevin Walter, he was 7 of 7 for 96 yards and a TD. 6 of the 7 passes intended for Walter netted a first down, and the seventh was a 7 yard gain on 2nd and 10 (still a successful play). Jacksonville was rolling coverage to Johnson and daring Schaub to throw to Walter and Daniels... so Schaub complied, and with great success I might add. You want to assign blame for the loss, stop looking at Schaub "not looking at Johnson" (Johnson did still get 7 targets and 86 yards, so it's not like he was avoided all day), and start looking at that defense. Or that ridiculous OPI call against Walter at the end of the game. Or the incredibly fluky fumble through the end zone. That wasn't the coaching staff's fault- Slaton's fumbled 3 times so far this year, so the coaching staff decided to go with the other guy with very unfortunate results. That's a case of decent process, bad outcome.Ah, caught that didn't ya.

I made a post a week or two back comparing Schaub, Rivers, and Rodgers over their last 16 games. All three players have pretty much identical numbers. All three players are between 26 and 28. Yet, somehow, Schaub was never considered part of the Rivers/Rodgers tier (mostly because he missed time last year to a cheap shot).I wouldn't put him in Peyton/Brees territory (remember that Tom Brady guy, too? 5 TDs in a quarter is mildly impressive...). I'd definitely put Schaub and Roofles in Rivers/Rodgers territory, though. Probably at the higher end of that tier, to boot.
This was posted three weeks ago, and he's actually improved on it...381/584 for 4827 yards and 37 TDs. I certainly don't think it's likely to play out that way, but those are QB1 numbers (slightly better than Brees's FF numbers last year).
