Has anyone seen a Keenum highlight video yet? He made those same type of plays in the preseason too. I'm really anxious to see him play in two weeks on national tv!

Here is a good article blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2013/10/six_plays_that_justify_case_ke.php

All I kept thinking on Sunday was, Schaub doesn't and can't make that play. Pretty fun to actually see the WRs running after the catch.

I definitely need to eat some crow after that performance.  Case far exceeded my expectations and played a very solid game.  He made many plays that Schaub could only dream of and most of the time they meant the difference in a sack or wasted play and positive yardage.  Kubiak is saying that Schaub is still the starter when he is healthy but I hope that is only coach speak and that Keenum gets a legitimate shot at winning the job.

It would be beyond insane for Kube to tell Keenum to not suit up or sit the bench come next game. Nearly the entire city feels a little renergized despite being down 2-5 after what Keenum showed us this past Sunday.

 

If Kube benches Keenum over Schaub or Yates, that will be the final straw for me and would want Kubiak to be let go. The choice is obvious who can be the future and who the city is behind.

While I was pleased with Keenum's performance, I'm going to adopt a "Wait and See" approach as to how good/how much upside he actually has until after the Indy game.  If Keenum has another good performance (and some of his recievers can catch better... Graham!) then he could very well be the future.

 

If he has a great game, and Kubiak benches him in favor of Schaub and we lose, then Kubiak should probably be shown the door.

I would honestly rather move forward with Keenum even if there ends up being some cases where inexperience at NFL level causes him to make a mistake, because Schaub is just too predictable now. There will be ups and downs with a young guy, but Schaub seems more like certain doom.

Schaub is, and always has been a terrific backup QB. He is not someone you can build an offensive strategy around because he has no arm. Kubiak hamstrung himself by sticking to a QB that cannot throw a ball farther than 20 yards.

 

Yes, inside that Schaub is inch perfect, but his ball moves so slow it doesn't matter how perfect his passes are, the defense plays knowing what Schaub's limits (and thus the whole offense) are, so they can pack the entire defense like it's the red zone, even when we're on our own 15.

 

Schaub is a nice guy, and it sucks the way the fans are treating him, it's not his fault that Kubiak has forced him to play over his limitations.

 

If Kubiak can't put Schaub on the bench for whatever reason, then he needs to go, I think Kubiak is a really great offensive tactician, that was obvious with what he was able to get out of Schaub the past few seasons, but if he can't make the tough decision to bench a nice guy who got his shot, then he is the problem, not Schaub.

I don't understand why Houston radio guys are saying we need to lose this one and then Texans fans can cheer after that. Am I missing something? I understand if we lose we win the tie breaker with Jax for the #1 pick, but if we win our last three games and they lose theirs, don't they still get the pick ahead of us since they'll finish with a worse record?

 

And now I'm torn. I wanted Case to succeed but I just don't think he has it. Maybe it's just not fair to him as everyone is judging him like a vet instead of a qb with no time with the #1s until he started his first game. At least rookie qb's normally get the preseason to prepare.

 

And if Scaub is the starting qb for the rest of the season and does well as he has the times he's come in since being hurt...what does McNair do? Keep Kubes and Schaub again?

 

Kubes and Schaub have skills, I just don't know if they have, "it", what it takes.

I'm not very knowledgeable on the whole draft situation but I too want Case to succeed.

 

I will say that this season has given Case so much more experience, confidence and presence that he can be groomed to be a great back up or potential starter somewhere. Though he isn't doing as great as we had all hoped and dreamed, he is still doing much better than anyone had given him credit for before the draft in which he was eventually passed over by.

 

I honestly cannot fathom a situation that Kube and Schaub will stay with the organization. It is apparent that the play calling is too conservative, and the quarterback doesn't have what it takes under pressure. On the positive note I was thoroughly impressed to see Schaub scramble, get out of the pocket and run for some yardage last night. That was a big improvement for him in my mind.

 

I love this team, and though things seem bleak we still have what it takes to be a high caliber team. We merely just need to make a few changes, and hopefully we will have a chance next season for redemption.

Case isn't the guy.  He's got tallent, and like Mike Mayock said (btw: that man is a great analyst for live football) Case has at least proven he has the ability to be a very good backup in this league.

 

As much as I like the coach's as people, its clear they all need to go.  Wade is great, but he isn't a good HC.

 

At any rate I think the Texans will take a lineman to anchor the OL on the right side, or a defensive tackle to help JJ and take a QB in the second or third round and stick it out with either Schaub or Keenum next season while the younger player grows.  And since Marcus Mariotta was (by some scouts) the best overall QB prospect to come out I'm happy taking a big guy in the first.  Either side of the line needs another solidly producing big man.

All I know is, Mark Vandeermeer is the worst radio guy in the NFL, and that texans Live showon 610 is just a Bob McNair poopy head Kissing Contest.

 

Well to be fair Mark Vandeermeer WORKS for the Texans now, not Sports Radio 610.  And "Texans Live" is put on by the Texans.  So of course its a kiss-up contest.

 

I feel like he is a bit too much of a homer, but otherwise he's ok.

 

Not sure what the Texans should do going forward.  I feel that Kubiak ought to have been fired after the first loss to Jacksonville, but he wasn't because they didn't want to look bad firing a guy returning from the hospital (though he honestly should have stepped aside for the rest of the season for his health - not like he needs the money).  I've never like Bob McNair - I always felt that anyone with that insanely large amount of money who wants to own a sports team has some shortcomings in their own life that they felt like buying an extra expensive toy.  I also hate the corporate welfare we give these sports owners!  I'd much rather see that money go to Chevron and the company they hire to move their employees to town.

I wish him the best, and I don't blame it all on him, but, but...the premise for this video is kinda funny

And maybe I'm crazy but I really liked me some Case. Had his confidence not been crushed (2nd time the Texans have done that to a QB) he could have been something, too bad O'brien won't give him a chance

I did a little bit of research.  It looks like there have only ever been two "home" game Superbowls

  • XIV: Steelers v LA Rams at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena
  • XIX: 49ers v Dolphins at Standford Stadium

They weren't the teams home field, but they were in the area.  No team has ever played the Superbowl in their home stadium

 

Houston has actually hosted 2 Superbowls, one at Rice in 1974 and one at Reliant in 2004

 

The Oilers never went to the Superbowl, though they did as the Titans in 1999.  The Texans have never gone. :(
