With regard to Schaub, my biggest concern is that he appears easily rattled, intimidated, scared (pick whatever word you think fits best). Granted, this is nothing more than my personal opinion but he appears to already be shellshocked in only about 10 games. And he really hasn't been hit that much. I think it took Carr about 3 years to get to that level and he got hit a lot more than Schaub.
I also hate how every time he gets hit he is slow to get up and let's the other team see him rolling around on the turf. (Anybody else see Vandenbosch yank Schaub off the turf on the last INT?) Even if you get your bell rung, you should try and get up quickly and not let the other team know. A similar point is that if these hits really are taking that kind of toll, I'm not sure he's tough enough to play QB in this league. Virtually every QB is going to take those types of hits every game. If you can't withstand that, you're in the wrong line of work.
Finally, I know most teams don't tackle in practice for fear of injury, but we need to have some tackling drills. We're not good enough on defense to miss tackles when we're finally in the right spot.
