How Tight is the QB Leash? Or is Schaub Just Too Conservative?

If Yates was under center on Sunday, do the Texans score 28 points? I don't think so. What evidence suggests Yates is capable of leading the offense to score more? If anything Yates is far more turnover prone than Schaub.

Yes, I understand those stats don't mean much. The main point I was trying to make is they both played poorly in DEC crunch time, but Yates did it as a rookie with limited reps, whereas, Schaub did it in full practice/starter mode with 9yrs. experience. Trust me, I'm not saying Yates SHOULD be the starter. However, I do think he and others -whoever that may be- should get a shot. We know what Schaub is at this point, and I still think that someone else who has a full camp and practice with the starters could be just as effective in this offense as Schuab, if not better. Whether that's Yates, Keenum, Matt Barkely, Tyler Wilson, whoever, they need to find that guy ASAP b/c Schaub isn't getting it done.
