However, you're right, he probably should be considered better than Henne. He's at least been smart enough through his career to not throw tons of brainless interceptions as Henne has. In the end, though, I'd rather not have either of them as my starting QB.

 

Got ya.  I know what you mean.  I think my point is just that expecting to have the Manning/Brady/Brees/Rodgers/Wilsons of the world is very unrealistic.  You always hope you can land an elite QB - but making do with a guy like Schaub isn't terrible.  He can make your team watchable, competitive, heck even get them to the playoffs - while many QBs like Henne/Gabbert etc can not.

 

The Texans had 5 straight losing seasons before trading for Matt Schaub.  In the 6 years following that, the Texans had exactly 1 losing season and 2 Division titles.  That's worth something.  I know he hasn't gotten them to the promised land, but in the past 6 years the Texans have been relevant, while the Jags have not.....  and like it or not, part of that is because they have had a solid starter at QB in Matt Schaub.

 

Ideally you upgrade your QB position by drafting who you believe can be elite like Teddy Bridgewater.  If you can't (and there's a high possibility we can't), then maybe a guy like Cutler or even Schaub could be OK.  We can't simply throw in the towel again and hope we get Winston next year.
