Matt Schaub out for season; Leinart named starter

[Point Blank]

Good news for the Falcons, they were one of the toughest teams left on our schedule.

Houston, you have a problem.

[shag773]

Wow, out for the season. Yeah, you're fucked..

[EmpireWF]

Since Schaub was considered such a terrible QB, they shouldn't see much of a change with Leinart back there.

Maybe Leinart will actually be able to make the big throw at the end of games.

Coach Kubiak on the radio statio would not confirm he is out for season. As far as he's been told, he is not out for the season.....yet.

As soon as Houston makes a thread too.....

Now he is all teary eyed

[Houston]

Leinart is terrible. Absolutely terrible. Unless he's improved dramatically from his Arizona days, it's going to be ugly.

Well it's not like he needs to go out and throw for 300 yards every game to win. Just need him to keep the turnovers down and hand off to foster, plus like I said he'll probably get Johnson back to work with.



We'll be fine without Schaub, we're not the Colts after all.

I hope that Schaub can be back for the playoffs, but we won't know until that time comes as the team will continue to hold off hope for that.

As I'm sure some have mentioned, Leinart just has to do enough not to lose the game, which is fine until the playoffs come. Then my confidence in him goes down, though he does have experience in big games from college, not that it means much today.

Anyone who thinks Houston will be ok with Leinart is kidding themself, they are fucked. As a fan of football i hate to see good players on good teams get injured.

[Raidersabc123]

I think the Texans will be fine Leinart will impress some people if anything this will definitely be his last shot

[Houston]

With the way their running the ball, what's the difference at this point. As long as he can complete a screen pass, it should be business as usual..

Yea, as if they wont load the box now that Shaub is out of commission. Leinart will have to prove he can push the ball down field and gain that respect.

[Houston]

I figured BigBucs would be too traumatized to step foot in a Texans thread.
