Time to bench Schaub? (1 Viewer)

[drew726]

Aside from the huge game vs Washington he's been killing me on a week to week basis. KC's defense has been amazing this year and held Peyton to 1TD.

Im pretty sure Peyton had 0 tds.Seems like if you have better options its time to bench Schaub

So, WDIS?

This is getting close to Assistant Coach forum material.

I picked up Orton after week 1 and have started him the past 2 weeks over Schaub, even though Orton probably had a tougher matchup.

I wish I had done the same. Played Schaub last two weeks, and it cost me a win last week, and there's a resonable chance it will this week.

 

[barista]

I grabbed Schaub because he's always been a monster until he gets hurt so I have a decent backup to go along with him.

Try trading him (talent + Cutler, etc.) depending on your scoring --- post it to the AC forum and you'll get trade suggestions.

It's not time to bench him. it's time to trade him.

 

[gigantor]

Going to try it and start Ben instead. Schaub and Andre Johnson have been the complete opposite of the combo I thought I had this year. ugh

 

[Resident A]

Schaub's value the past 3 years was based on his team's inability to run the ball & being forced to throw 40 passes per game, much like Denver is doing right now. The 2010 Texans and run the ball, and are doing so instead of airing it out all game,

Schaub is still a very good NFL QB, but may no longer be a top-10 FF QB due to the change in offensive philosophy. He's best as a match-up starter if you have another viable QB to platoon him with.

 

[wickster33]

Perfect buy low candidate. Giants dline is much better than advertised and were in Schaub's grill all day. Also, AJ dropped several very catchable balls. He's exactly the same guy he was last season. grab him now while you can

 

[skillz]

AJ hobbling around isn't helping him. Injuries to Daniels and Jacoby Jones too. If you have other decent options I would go with them. I'm starting Ben vs. Cleveland this week and benching Schaub. It would've been nice to wait a week to see how Ben does but at this point he can't do any worse than Schaub has been playing lately. I don't see myself trading Schaub unless I get an offer that is too good to be true. If not, I will hold onto him and see if he can get things turned around after the bye in week 7.

 

[meatwad1]

Much like many other top flight qb failures, it would be prudent to make a mental note not to draft a qb next year unless you are getting great value.

He is a great buy low...if you are selling though, do not expect to get much.

That's the way I'm treating him. Played Flacco for the matchup today (and for AJ not being 100%) with good results.

People getting carried away with this AC stuff. The shark pool is fine for this topic. Not a WDIS but the overall value of Schaub going forward. Seems like 80% of the topics in here. Schaub is limited right now by his banged up receiving core and good running game. Arian Foster has been known to get banged up and suffered a minor injury Sunday. If Foster slows down, Schaub is right back to being a top 5 qb.

 

[Ghost Rider]

7 TDs and 5 INTs through five games. And under 200 yards in three of those five games. Ugh. Okay, they are running the ball better, but something ain't right when their passing game, and I am not chalking it up to Andre Johnson's ankle. That hasn't helped, but something still ain't right. When I saw that they had fallen behind 21-0 yesterday, I thought, "Sweet, he will rack up big yards and a few touchdowns when playing from way behind," which I figured was a given. And I was dead wrong. He couldn't even deliver in the second half of a blowout loss. Aside from the Washington game, he has been pretty disappointing.

OD not healthy, AJ not Healthy, Jacoby not Healthy. Strong running game

 

[uhaul77]

I'm toying w/ dropping him myself. I already have Orton and just dropped Vick cuz of his injury because I couldn't afford to keep three QB's. I'm thinking real hard about dropping Schaub and picking Vick back up. As someone else already pointed out you can't count on him because they've been able to run so effectively.

 

[coolnerd]

Just watching Schuab, he does not look right. There is enough passing in the Texans offense for Schaub to enough numbers to justify him as fantasy starter. He flat is not playing well even considering the injuries all over the place.

 

[FavreCo]

The minute you do, he throws for 350 and 3 TDs. I dare ya to bench him.

 

[RobMexico]

I'm slightly concerned, but I'm fortunate to have other guys carry my team. If you are at 1-4 or 2-3, you may want to switch it up. For me, I'm starting him @ home vs. KC and then they'll have a bye and hopefully get healthy at WR. If out of the bye @ IND, he fails... then I'm really concerned.

Really? I think he looks fine - there were a couple balls yesterday that were an inch or two from being big gainers. He is one of a few QBs in the league that can throw for 350/3 at any given time.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

I didn't realize he has fared so poorly and his owners are down on him. I'm hoping Favre has a big game so I can go buy Schaub low. He's stunk but I wouldn't panic if I owned him.

he did not get much help from anywhere, but those few inches here or there are what takes an NFL Qb very good to average.

 

[RushHour]

I keep playing Schaub over Orton and it will actually cost me the win this week.

don't forget they're starting a backup at LT

 

[glock]

I just KNOW starting Favre over Schaub is gonna bite me in the ####...

 

[N Zone]

I have Schaub, Vick, and Favre and I've started the right QB every week. I would start Favre this week if he was fully healthy but he's not and I'm nervous about his elbow so I'm leaning toward going with Schaub.
