Houston Texans QB Matt Schaub has had a terrible year one of the worst QB
in the league. He was benched in Week 6 and he has been donw almost every
statistical category. The Texans' are on a 11 game losing streak and Schaub
hasn't helped the team achieve any measure of success during the time he played
this year. With Case Keenum out against the Broncos this Sunday, Schaub will
return to the starting lineup for the first time since the Week 14 loss to
Jacksonville and only the third time since Week 6.
Should Schaub have surprisingly strong performances against the Broncos and
Titans, he may be able to slightly re-legitimize himself within the organization
and the fanbase. Still, it's pretty clear Houston will be moving on from Schaub
as a starter and will likely draft a QB high in 2014 with what could be the No.
1 overall pick.
Schaub signed a hefty four-year, $62 million contract in 2012 but could be cut by the Texans after this year, though they'd take a meaningful cap hit. If so, he'd likely find a backup role somewhere, possibly in a situation with a seasoned starter. If the Texans did keep him on, he wouldn't be a bad backup to Lousiville QB Teddy Bridgewater, for instance. The team will surely be happy to turn the corner and start afresh at QB but Schaub isn't necessarily a poor option to have in the reserve corps.
