Quote:They stuck with Keenum far too long given what he was giving. Hell, they stuck with Keenum last year longer than we stuck with Gabbert last year, and that was a new regime that wanted to see what Gabbert had. IMO, McNair knew exactly what he was doing - trying to ensure that first pick. Schaub had a rough patch of pick 6's, but overall was still the better option. Clearly. That proved itself in the 2nd half of the Texans Jags game. From that point forward, Schaub should have been playing if winning was truly what they were trying to do at that point. 

 

You really do love to twist facts in an effort to bolster your nonsensical conspiracy theories.

 

Schaub seriously injured his ankle, tearing ligaments.  It was a big deal when he did so not because of the injury itself, but because he was playing so badly at the time that his own home team fans celebrated the injury.  There were multiple reports talking about how Texan players though their fans were pretty low rent for cheering the injury, but their reaction was based upon the fact that Schaub was terrible. 

 

McNair wasn't dictating who played.  Kubiak was trying to get Schaub back in, but the ankle injury was more significant than anyone thought.  It's all out there if you bothered to use Google for 30 seconds.  There was no conspiracy here.  Schaub was no better than Keenum on the field, then he was hurt.  When he came back, he still stank it up.  There's a reason he's not on the Texans roster any longer.
