    I'm not a fan of Keenum, he had his chance this month, couldn't force a turnaround so yea, no problem with me Schaub taking over at this point.

    But Schaub was both putting up terrible stats and not winning games, with 9 more seasons of experience under his belt.

    I've got a gif on the Greer injury, but out of respect for everyone's eyes and underbelly feelings, I wont post it here.

    But Keenum never looked like winning those games, which isn't what you want from a younger QB, who's supposed to improve you. Schaub's just having a bad year, he's got proven experience and can win games, he's shown that numerous times.

    If any QB needs to be benched, it's Geno Smith. Christ is he bad.

    100% agree there with Smith, if there was a stat for unnecessary interceptions I think he would lead the league.

    See my last reply. It's a team sport. Keenum was playing better than Schaub and that's all there should be to it, the team aren't going to magically start winning because they have a worse QB in there, especially when it's a QB they don'teven like. Keenum is extremely inexperienced, surely it's more likely he'll improve than Schaub?

    You can't expect a young QB to be putting the team on his back and winning games for his team. Just because Andrew Luck is a one man army, doesn't mean every young QB is. (Cove, what do you think of Andrew?)

    But yeah, Geno has been terrible. I've obviously not seen the Bills game just yet, but man that statline is ugly.

    Have i missed something? Why do the team dislike Schaub? Is it because he looks like Popeye?

    I'm on mobile so can't get a link, but I think Andre Johnson storming off the field while screaming at Schaub means something.

    After a decent first game he only got worse, and today the coaches understandably took him off the field after Keenum just made one bad throw after another, against an Oakland without McFadden and Pryor. 14-0 in the first quarter was a start just like any other in the past month.

    I'm not judging Smith against Luck, that would be insane, Luck is a once in a generation prospect, i'm judging Smith against the league average, and he's starting to make Sanchez look less terrible. The Jets as a team haven't played badly, it's poor QB play holding them back. When they played us, with a better QB they could have won that game, Smith gifted it to us.

    I was talking about Keenum, not Geno Smith, he has actually been awful.

    I'm mixed on Luck, sometimes he looks absolutely brilliant, but at times he looks clueless. His running is superb but when it comes to pocket awareness I'm not too sure. Obviously he is doing something right as he's looking at his second play-off season but I can't exactly why that is. He is not the pin point accuracy thrower like Brees, is not the fast thrower like Roethlisberger, or doesn't have the concentration to read defenses like Peyton, doesn't have the agility of Wilson, but still he can still do all of em at a very high level. A Jack of all trades is how I would describe him. Very versatile and strong QB.

    Mixed? So you'd say he's pretty middling and average? :)

    Seattle's always a good watch, they're playing the Vikings.

    If you want action, go with SD - Miami, if you want the battle of the defenses, SF - NO.

    Have to disagree. The guy is a one man offence, practically a one man franchise. It's hard to be pinpoint when you have no receivers to work with, it's hard to work through your reads when your offensive line is pretty poor.
