Matt Schaub is sick. Sick and tired of losing. Oh, and he's literally sick -- and it's bad enough that he was sent to the hospital on Saturday night. So, yeah, in a huge divisional matchup and the team's first return to Houston since Ike hit, things are going to be a little thin at quarterback.
Schaub fell ill Saturday night, but is active as the second quarterback for this afternoon's game. Tight end Owen Daniels is the Texans' emergency quarterback.Yeah, so things aren't that bad for the Texans, but we don't really know how bad they are for Schaub just yet. Hopefully he'll be fine, but until we hear more, we just have to assume that he's doing alright under medical watch.
In five starts with the Texans in 2007, Rosenfels was 4-1. He played in 10 total games and finished with a career-high 1,684 passing yards and 15 touchdowns.
Sage Rosenfels will start in his place and Lord have mercy on the Texans if Daniels has to take snaps.
Fantasy Spin: Obviously bench Schaub immediately, and consider grabbing Rosenfels -- he doesn't seem like a particularly attractive option but if you're facing Kyle Orton or someone of that lower end nature and he's there, well, the Colts defense isn't that stout and he does have Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter.

Today the Texans remind me of some of the old Oilers teams. And i remember them all since i was born here. What a fold job. One of the worst second halfs in history. ByBy Bud would have gone to the locker room all right and fired someone. Just blame someone anyone at all and fire him..

Someone by the name of Kubiak will be fired unless the Texas start to look more respectable real soon. Problems at quarterback, a weak offense and a defense that only shows up a part of the time are just too much to overcome. Football is highly copetitive and the weak will not survive. Like David Carr Matt Schaub will probably never be a premier QB in the NFL. We have a bunch of great guys here and I do hope things will turn around but I am not too optimistic.
