The time to cut ties was last year when Manning was available (and reports had him interested in coming). We have a far better roster, and believe it or not far better coaching.
Now we are in a spot where the best available veteran QBs are not an upgrade.
So that leaves the draft as a means of improvement, and I cannot see a coach whose job relies on going deep in the playoffs hitching his wagon to a rookie QB. Especially not in a year where nobody is excited about any of the QBs, let alone the ones available in the late 1st/middle rounds.
It will almost certainly be Schaub again for this year (and likely for as long as Kubiak is here). We would have been better off with a home loss to Cincy that MIGHT have prompted change.
