49ers-Texans prediction

There is no way the 49ers lose to Matt Schaub this Sunday.

I don’t care that the 49ers are missing Aldon Smith and possibly Patrick Willis. I don’t care how many good players the Texans have – they have a lot.

There is no way the 49ers lose to Matt Schaub this Sunday.

Schaub makes Sam Bradford look good.

Schaub is built to throw play-action passes. He is not built to drop back and throw the ball. He stinks unless the play-action fools the defense.

Look at his stats on third down, a passing down:

On third and less-than-three yards, his passer rating is 81.3.

On third and three-to-seven yards, his passer rating is 69.9.

He’s slow and rarely throws the ball farther than 10 yards downfield. Last season should have been his final season as an NFL starter.

The 49ers will beat the Texans 27-16.
