Anyone remember the game Eli Manning threw 3 pick sixes in a single game?
Anyone want to guess how the Giants finished that year?
Just so I am clear: Is your point that if the Texans stick with Matt Schaub, because he has thrown 3 pick sixes, the Texans will win the super bowl because that's what happened with Eli Manning and the Giants?
Just want to make sure I follow you.
No, my point is that this stuff happens. Peyton threw 4 of them in 2 games in 2007. Yes, it's a concern. No, it's not evidence that he's irredeemably flawed.
Yes, stuff happens. But it is going on long enough with Schaub that you have to start worrying. I posted this in the Texans thread yesterday:
Matt Schaub has thrown pick sixes in 4 of the last 6 games. He has thrown an interception in 7 straight games. He has thrown 11 TD's and 11 ints in his last 10 games. Add in the fact
that he is pretty immobile, and will take a sack at the drop of a hat, and he is a pretty mediocre QB right now. He is affecting your ability to win games, especially against good teams.
At this point in his career it is very possible that Schaub could be starting to decline. I would give Matt a rest, give Yates a shot at starting a game and see what happens. Yates may not
do anything great, but he may not do anything horrible which is what has been killing the team with Schaub. If you consider that the Texans finished the season the last two years the same way,
with one home playoff win and one road playoff loss, and that one year they had Yates at QB and one year they had Schaub at QB, and the difference between them may not be as great as
people seem to think.
