Kubiak is not going to be here next year unless the Texans run the table and win-streak thru to the end. As much as I love the Texans, the confidence level is very low at this time.

Simmer down now
Peyton Manning said the Texans' defensive backs were celebrating Dunta Robinson's big hit on running back Joseph Addai so much that he went with a quick count and caught them napping on a 31-yard pass to Austin Collie that led to the Colts taking a 21-20 lead with 8:28 left in the game. “I told them that it was an example of their team and our team at that point,” head coach Gary Kubiak said. “We have a big hit, and we should be excited. That's a great play, but you have to refocus.” http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...t/6746449.html ************************************** That little incident does illustrate the difference between the Texans and the Colts. And I was I could say Robinson is worthless, but he's far too expensive to be worthless.

Watching it live at the game from the endzone where the throw was made, it looked like an unusually weak throw from him. Either he was tired (the team did abandon the run in the second half) or he second guessed his decision to throw before the ball even left his hand. I tend to think the latter of course, and for whatever the reason, Schaub's confidence dwindled as the second half progressed up to that point. It is on him, Kubiak, and baby Shan to figure out why it happened. In the past I recall seeing Kubiak just yell like nuts at his QB or look like he really wanted to yell like nuts and think the better of it, i.e. he expects his QB to have flawless decision making abilities. Which is the goal, however unrealistic, even Peyton throws picks and Tom Brady has off nights where he gets pulled. I think that maybe between Schaub and baby Shan they need to very careful about that sort of sideline pass that close to their own endzone. If Schaub attempts that throw (his arm maybe isn't Elway-strong, but it's usually strong enough), then he can't be second guessing that decision that deep into his own territory. Couple this with the pick six in Arizona, and Schaub needs to be more effective in these situations. He has overcome the tag that we labeled on him for redzone ineffectiveness (remember that?), so maybe this is another step in his development. I like Schaub. Always have. I think he must be pretty good to even do the things he does to put the team into these situations... stats don't lie. Schaub has been very productive this season. But there is still another step yet to be taken in his overall development.

I want to add to Kieth's post, Schaub is doing this behind a flimsy OL. So the fact he has made them appear to be a decent unit should also be a feather in his cap.
Imagine if he had Brady or Peyton time to throw? How many plays have i seen Brady standing flat footed going through his reads? As for arm strength, Schaub is average, IMO. He is not Flacco, but he can throw the deep out.

Schaubs play was maddening in the second half, perhaps more so because he was so competant, so effective in the first half.
Besides the interceptions, there was a particular play, a difficult throw for sure, but still a throw he tried to make to DA who was going in the opposite direction parallel to the los. He just threw it into the ground, way short of the wide-open Anderson on which I think was a third-down ? Schaub just seemed to lose all focus in the last half. Very, very frustrating.
