disagree. 250 and a TD is the upside. We haven't been seeing it but both Eli and Brady are definitely capable of big games (didn't Eli put up like a forty burger week 1?) whereas if Keenum has a great game, this is the best i'd really be hoping for. and the scary part is, i feel like what he's MORE likely to get is 3-5 sacks, 2-4 INT, 0 TD and <200 yards.
Did you see his lone game? If not you need to watch it.
So his upside is less than what he did against the Chiefs last week? 15/25/271 and 1 TD in their house.
I definitely saw "Matt is our starter when he is healthy." I'll try to find it when I get home. There's always a chance he was misquoted, I suppose.
Kubiak was asked directly about the QB1 job the Monday after the KC game and gave a politically correct answer that wouldn't embarrass a guy whose back he's always had while also admitting that the youngster played well enough to get another chance. Kubiak wasn't going to make a public change at quarterback immediately after that game because it's not his style and it's one reason why his players like playing for him. On the other hand, he left the door open to make that change and said as much in that press conference. All he was saying at that time was "right now, Matt's our starter but I reserve the right to give Keenum an opportunity to win that job outright."
Yeah, you didn't watch vs KC. You really should have. He played extremely well and this Brady owner feels very confident in saying I would feel much more confident about starting Keenum the next few weeks in the Texans offensive scheme than the Patriots passing offense. Keenum's floor is 225/1 with some rushing yards thrown in, but he has the opportunity and the weapons around him to post multiple 2/3 TD weeks.
yes, I did. Generally, I think he benefited a lot from the Cheifs' low expectations; they were giving him easy reads most of the game, but once they put the clamps on, Keenum couldn't move the ball. I also saw a disturbing lack of pocket awareness, getting blindsided at least twice that i recall.
The Chiefs only "put the clamps on" because of the Texans being forced to go one dimensional due to the loss of their two RBs. Their defensive players even said as much, admitting that they could pin their ears back and attack because they knew the Texans had no running game threat.
I don't blame you, sorry if any of my irritation with the whole matter came through as directed at you. Members of the press (like PFT) were pretty blatant in chopping up the quote so it implied something different than what was really meant.
Kubiak was very clear in his first sentence that he would not make a decision until he'd had time to look at it. As Lobary indicated, it's a neutral answer that didn't show a lack of support for any of his players, including Schaub. All he did was restate the situation, that he had to choose between the starter and the new guy who played excellent.
Chopped out anything that shows the actual context of the quote. If you read the Chronicle article, the article paints the opposite picture of what PFT's chopped up quote implies.
Sure. I'm not even completely sold on him yet. This week's game against the Colts will tell a lot.
on the other hand there are guys like Brady, Wilson, etc that can produce with limited opportunities and become stars. Not really understanding your point, guy.
Probably that the Kolbs and Foles of the world are far more common than the opposite. Essentially, that it would be prudent to hold off from anointing him a starting caliber NFL quarterback or success until we see more.
There's less difference between a 6th round pick and a UDFA and a first round pick to sixth round pick.
Is this some sort of joke ?ragnarok628 said:
FL was toward end of the game on a desperation type play. I don't fault him much for that with the pocket collapsing and getting blindsided.
Not with Case behind center
I'm starting him over Tannehill. Mostly because starting a QB on a Thursday night game scares me.
HOU is dead in the water. They can win this game and it won't much matter. They need to get to 9 wins to have a shot, that is almost impossible when looking at their schedule. They won't win in Indy, they won't beat Denver, unlikely to beat NE, that's already eight losses. Most likely they lose again on Sunday, Luck tends to play well when the lights are bright.Not with Case behind center
Cushing and Manning out for the season hasn't helped but I think they'll make 9-7 under Clutch City Case.HOU is dead in the water. They can win this game and it won't much matter.

I've said all along, HOU has many other problems, Schaub was just one of them. They simply aren't that good and haven't been since they wore those letterjackets to Foxboro last year.
