David Carr: No need to scratch at scar tissue here
Sage Rosenfels: No meaningful playing time post-Texans
Rex Grossman: Went to Washington and briefly started
Dan Orlovsky: Started a few games in Indy in 2011 including a win over the Texans, no success beyond that
Matt Leinart: Failed in Oakland and Buffalo, that should tell you something
Jake Delhomme: Nothing as a Texan, nothing post-Texans
Jeff Garcia: Nothing as a Texan, nothing post-Texans
Matt Schaub: I don't know if you could argue that he's better today than he was in 2007
Maybe Kubiak is a great quarterback coach but it certainly isn't reflected in the play of the quarterbacks he's coached with the Texans.

I don't look at that list and question Kubiak. I look at that list and praise him. Not one QB on our roster was a starting QB the year before coming here. That means nobody else in the NFL has ever evaluated a guy as a starter before arriving here. Or after for that matter.
That means with the rest of the league's backups we have become a successful NFL franchise. Maybe I am not a huge Kubiak fan, maybe I think Schaub needs to go before we take another step, but I have to tip my cap at Kubs winning as many games as he has in a QB driven league with Rick Smith providing him with table scraps at the league's most important position.
I mean, doesn't it say something that the extremely limited Matt Schaub is the most talented guy on that list?
