Satin hit it in the head. Dopey has a big money long term contract with the team. Hoping for a change is just a pipe dream. With Schaub, throwing for 347 and 2 TDs in a playoff game like it or not, he's our QB now and for the years to come.
Texans had they're best season ever. As tough as this loss and the end of season tank is, you can't knock progress. Our rooks now all have playoff experience, Cush will be back. No doubt a lot more positives than negatives going into next season.
I'm done with defending Dopey. We needed him to be great and he just wasn't. We needed the Dopey to be the Dopey that got us a balls-out win in Denver and tore up the field vs Jags. Throwing the ball away with room to run (even for him) on a crucial 3rd and 4 was completely unacceptable. He made some great throws but not the ones that count. Since he won't be rehabbing all offseason, hopefully someone will force him into the weight room to get some strength in that throwing arm and put some meat on those twigs. Dopey has had outstanding moments this year but until he's consistent throwing the ball and making smart decisions, he will continue to have his doubters and eventually find a spot on someone's bench. Watching these young QBs run when the lanes open up and nut up and throw blocks, leaves me scratching my head and wondering "what if."
Other than not challenging a questionable spot for 4th down and deciding to throw the ball with inches to go for a first, I thought Kubes coached a good game. He had Dopey looking for crossing tightends and Foster on swing plays when NE blitzed their LBs. Other than taking more shots downfield, the game plan was there. Players just failed to execute.
At the end, I just wish Dopey can up his game or Kubes and Smith can find us a gym with this team before the window closes.
