Matt Schaub

C.J. Stroud's off to a rocket start as Texans starter, with his Rookie of the Year hardware and playoff poise already eclipsing Schaub's prime—think 4,000-yard seasons versus Schaub's 25,467 career total and 136 TDs. But Schaub owned Houston's franchise record books for a decade, that smooth 8.24 ANY/A his quiet signature before the picks piled up. Stroud's chasing, not passing, that established Texans throne just yet.[62 words]

Nah, Matt Schaub's not in Canton—zero bust waiting there for the guy with 25,467 yards and 136 TDs across 17 seasons. He's got the Falcons Super Bowl ring as Matt Ryan's clipboardsman and Houston's all-time passing leader, but Hall voters crave MVPs or rings as the man, not reliable lieutenant. Solid career, no gold jacket drama.[58 words]

In 2026, Schaub's gunning for NFLPA Executive Director, pitching players threaten their own league to juice CBA talks worth $800 billion by 2030—ran before in '23, back at it per Houston Chronicle. He's also Falcons radio regular on 680 The Fan, dissecting QB messes and coach hunts, plus Virginia Cavaliers broadcasts. From pocket to podium, guy's scheming big.[64 words]

Schaub's quick release and touch would've feasted under today's pass-happy rules—no more 2009-era defenses teeing off pre-snap. That 2012 extension year with Andre Johnson? Pure rhythm clinic, 4,000-plus yards easy now sans the turf toe curse and pick-six plagues. He'd carve up zones like a '10s fossil reborn, maybe top-15 arm in camp battles.[59 words]

Schaub laps Tony Banks like a Ferrari past a Yugo—8.24 ANY/A to Banks' limp 16.2 over 10 Texans starts in '01-02, total trainwreck with more picks than pops. Both franchise QBs by default, but Schaub's 25k yards and playoff nods built Houston's contender era; Banks was the sad sack prelude nobody remembers fondly.[60 words]
