Even though the Houston Texans claim Matt Schaub is their starter going into next season, it doesn’t mean they won’t select a quarterback in April’s draft. It certainly sounded like Texans head coach Gary Kubiak left the door open. “Well, we always look at everything,” Kubiak said in his season-ending press conference on Monday. Our sources wouldn’t rule out the possibility, pointing to the situations of the 49ers and Seahawks, neither of whom felt they needed a starter when they selected Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson in the second and third rounds, respectively, the past two years. We hear the Texans would love to have a mobile QB like one of the two aforementioned rising stars. With Schaub now in his early 30′s, he is what the is. He’s an above average quarterback that will likely never be able to carry the Texans the way a franchise quarterback needs to. It’s time to look for another long-term solution.

Cornerback Jonathan Joseph needs a check up from the neck up: “I think we were a better team”
The Houston Texans are so last week, but one last laugh at the cost of the other team in Texas. Cornerback Jonathan Joseph doesn’t believe the New England Patriots are better than his team. The NFL should get someone running with one of those little cups and get a sample, Joseph must be on drugs. After the Patriots smashed the Texans to a point of almost virtual collapse in December...
Texans' offseason priorities after best season
The 2012 season was, by all objective measures, the best in Houston Texans history. They went 13-5. Their quarterback threw for 4,000 yards. Their running back ran for 1,400. One of their defensive linemen recorded one of the best seasons ever recorded by a defensive lineman.
All that, and they were a mile away from beating the New England Patriots. So as the offseason begins, the...

Johnathan Joseph: Texans are a better team than the Patriots
The Houston Texans had a chance at redemption against the New England Patriots last weekend and failed to cash in. Just four weeks removed from an embarrassing 42-14 loss at Gillette Stadium, the Texans were once again dominated in every facet of the game. Anyone who watched both games was left with one simple conclusion — the Patriots are a better team.
Johnathan Joseph does...
Jonathan Joseph thinks the Texans are better than the Patriots...still
I really can't come up with any possible reason why any player on the Texans would think they were better than the Patriots. After the first game, which the Texans lost 42-14, I was of the mind that maybe the Texans weren't as bad as that seemed. Then, in the playoffs, the Texans held the Patriots to just one fewer point.
I think that speaks for itself and proved to the...
