Gary Kubiak has done a great job with the Texans as he led them to a 8-8 record which was the first time in team history that the Texans won as many games as they lost. Kubiak now has a 14-18 (.438 %) record in his two seasons with the Texans. Kubiak did this by improving the teams offense and defense. The problem is the Texans currently play in the best division in football (AFC South) so it still will be hard to make the playoffs in 2008.
The Texans came into this season with question marks about their QBs but they both played well inspiring confidence in the future. Matt Schaub is the starter but he missed some time at the end of the season due to injury. Schaub played in 11 games last season for the Texans and he completed 192 of 289 passes (66.4%) for 2,241 yards with 9 TD passes and 9 interceptions (87.2 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 17 times for 52 yards (3.1 ypc). Schaub has now played in 49 games in his NFL career and he has completed 276 of 450 passes (61.3%) for 3,274 yards with 15 TD passes and 15 interceptions (80.7 QB Rating). He also has carried the ball 41 times for 175 yards (4.3 ypc).
Sage Rosenfels had not played too much in his NFL career until this year and he proved that he definately belongs. Rosenfels played in 9 games this season for the Texans and he completed 154 of 240 passes (64.2%) for 1,684 yards with 15 TD passes and 12 interceptions (84.8 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 21 times for 51 yards (2.4 ypc) with 1 TD run.
