Shaub - Anyone giving up on him? (1 Viewer)

No. Houston's schedule was clearly brutal the first several games. It lightens up considerably. Just make sure you have Rosenfels, too.

 
traded him in one league in a Cutler/Marshall acquisition and dropped him in the other yesterday for Griese.

 
Dude looked almost as bad as David Carr at times last Sunday. He was under pressure all day, and made some really bad decisions. He didn't look good, although there was one throw to AJ in the endzone which could of easily been a td. Keep in mind that the Texans actually had a running game @ Tenn. too. Methinks that doesn't bode well for Schaub.

I've got a 2-headed monster of Schaub and Campbell at qb (I also have Rosenfels and toady added Trent Green, lol). Needless to say I screwed up big time this week and started Schaub, costing me the win. Houston plays @ Jax this week, so that's not looking like the best matchup in the world. Haven't decided what I'm going to do yet.

At this point I'm sort of rooting for Rosenfels to take over as the starting qb. Schaub has played 8 quarters of football thus far, and at least 6 of them have been absolutely horrific.

 
I need him this week to cover Eli's bye, but will probably drop him shortly thereafter (and this is in a 14-teamer). Usually if you have to cross your fingers & hope that your QB doesn't get pulled by halftime, it's probably time to cut bait.

I really don't know what to make of Schaub. He has some big risks now, but still has some good upside.

Yes, he has played terribly, but he has had tough defenses to go against and AJ didnt help by dropping a catceable TD before dropping a sure TD. He has either of those and we might not be having this discussion just now.

Personally, I am trying not to trade him now - he has little value (even in a 2 QB league, but in that type of league any QB has some value) but still a lot of upside. If he can hold on, then AJ needs to catch his tds from someone, and with Slaton and K. Walter as well, he could still do quite well.

In a one QB league, I see no use for him, however.

 
I'm trying to acquire Schaub in all of my leagues.

So far Schaub has played the 9th ranked Steelers pass D and the Titans (3rd) against the pass. And let's be honest, after only three games, Andre Johnson himself is the reason Pitt. is 9th instead of top 3. Schaub is so undervalued right now it's laughable.

Houston's remaining schedule:

@ J-Ville, v. Indy, v. Miami, v.Lions, @ Vikes, v. Cincy, @ Indy, @Browns, v. J-Ville, @ Packers, v. Titans @ Oakland. Red is top 10 and green is bottom 15 in yds. allowed per game.

If you deal Schaub you're zigging when you should have zagged.

He's my b/u to Brees and I'm putting a bid in for Campbell this week off waivers. If I get Campbell fine, if not then I stick with Schaub.

 
I've got a waiver claim in for Jason Campbell, dropping Schaub. I don't think he's a bad QB and I do like his receivers, but I think he's on thin ice. Too much uncertainty to pass on Campbell.

 
Sent him packing today. He was my back up to Brees and he had to go against Minny D on Brees bye week. FWIS I added Edwards.

This guy gets it. If not Schaub, then Rosenfels should be able to produce against these defenses.
 
A. Johnson owner getting killed by Schaub. Only 2 games, so not panicking, but I honestly cant see him turning it around that soon or that much. :ptts:

Did you watch the last game?Three throws AJ could have caught for TDs. Of those three, one was def. just too overthrown, another should have been caught though it would be a tough catch and on one play, he clear dropped a pass in the endzone.AJ has killed schaub as much as schaub has killed him - in the last game, more.

:goodposting: I'm thinking the same thing, that Shaub *might* turn things around..but eventually, if things keep going as poorly as they have been, Houston will probably make a switch to Rosenfels at some stage this season, esp if if looks like any hope of making it to the postseason has gone past them..

Did not see game, just box score. Dont feel quite as bad knowing now his lack of production is not for lack of targets. THX
 
If you combine Schaub & Rosenfels stats from last year, they come out to QB10- and that was w/o AJ most of the season. There is no reason for this to change, especially w/ a healthy AJ.

Houston started the season w/ 3 road games against tough Defenses, I expected Schaub to start slow. Then Ike messes up their schedule & affects the players' homes & families. It only gets better from here. Sure, Schaub could get benched, & he is injury-prone, that's why you need Rosenfels too. This team needs to pass to have a chance, and pass they will.

As long as you can spare an extra roster spot for both Schaub & Rosenfels, I think you'll have a solid QB2, borderline QB1 come year end. Who cares which one it is? I certainly don't.

 
Traded Schaub for Jared Allen last week and I'm happy about it so far. My other QBs are Roethlisberger and Kitna, so they both scare me a little with the inconsistency and injury risk, but I'll take it.

 
The problem as I see it is that even if the Houston QB situation does go back to being productive, it might be Sage instead of Schaub when it happens. To be safe you'd need to roster both.

With McNabb and O'Sullivan already on the roster, I can barely justify one more roster spot for a QB, let alone two. I am considering cutting Schaub loose to address depth elsewhere.

I cut Schaub and Cassel yesterday for a bye week WR and Mendenhall. Why roster a QB that is about to get benched. With byes coming up some QB's will hit the waiver wire, until then only Rivers on my squad.

if they're out of the hunt, i think there's no way they pull the plug on schaub. they stick with him and give him the rest of the year to show them something.
 
I would try to acquire/pick him up where you can. He's had a very tough opening few games due to the teams he's played but the SOS gets better after this week. The great thing about his situation is that their defense is horrid so they'll be playing from behind in the 2nd half each week and he has good weapons in Daniels/Johnson.

With McNabb and O'Sully you're probably okay with just cutting Schaub. Either that or shop Sully and acquire both Schaub and Rosenfels. Everyone's right though, it's "Houston Team QB" that's undervalued right now more than Schaub himself.
 
Having witnessed the Grossman/Orton hydra first hand I am a proud owner of Sñr Sage. It's this game or next.

 
I don't get the Houston game but looking at the stats he is having a great day. I started him in desperation this week because I am up against a very tough team and he had the most upside of my QB's. I am bummed that I benched Moore last second but so far Schaub is putting up some nice numbers. I think this start solidifies Schaub for a few more weeks and with their schedule getting easier I like him going forward. Of course, anyone who has him should have Rosenfels as a handcuff.

 
I cut Schaub earlier and currently have a stable of Garrard, JTO and Trent Edwards. I'm starting to think that I pulled the plug on Schaub just a LITTLE prematurely.
