Has Schaub ever won a playoff game? I had been down on him for a while, but if you can get a clip of the last play of the Oakland/Houston game last year you will understand why I dislike Schaub. Down by 5 on the Raiders goal line, he took the snap, rolled left, saw there was no one near him, and pumped. Then he took a couple steps forward and a LB started over from near the middle of the field, so he pumped again. Then, finally, he threw a beautiful strike right into the hands of a receiver waiting in the endzone—unfortunately it was one of the Raiders defensive backs and the game was done. Schaub could have jogged into the endzone for the win any time he liked, with no one there to stop him, but instead he held the ball forever before throwing it to the defender who ended the game.

No, I do not like Schaub; I liked how Leinart played in his brief appearance last season (which was unexpected, since I was as disgusted with him as everyone else was when he came out, but he seems to have learned he actually has to work to succeed in the NFL.) I liked how Yates played in relief of both of them. Schaub is an aging QB accustomed to losing. Last year I considered him the sole weak link on the team, and with Barwin filling Super Marios shoes and Walter possibly able to replace Dreesen, that may still be so.
