There's no QB controversy. Yes, we've "got it"
Some of the local sports journalists have been unintentionally amusing since the Texans' latest loss.
Recall that Sunday, Matt Schaub got beaten up pretty badly, so Sage Rosenfels came in and looked awful for all but part of a quarter, when the Titans let their guard down a bit and the Texans rallied.
For two days now, some sports journalists have made a point of repeating some variant of, "All you fans who think there's now a quarterback controversy, there's not! Got it?!"
The thing is, no knowledgeable sports fans in town think there is a quarterback controversy. The team made a significant investment in Schaub, and he's looked pretty good so far this season, given that he's effectively a rookie (in terms of starts) and has been short of weapons most of his games. Sage Rosenfels is a perennial backup, and not a guy a team that has high aspirations installs as its starter (unless by necessity). Schaub is the guy. Discussion over.
So, the local sports journalists who are wagging their little fingers and acting like all Texans fans are ignorant reactionaries can just stop. It's insulting and condescending.
And it's lazy. If they can't find some actual Texans' problem/controversy to explore (hard to imagine, with so many things wrong!), then they aren't trying very hard. Or maybe they'd rather try to generate discussion about a quarterback controversy, without actually admitting that they are the ones driving the idiotic discussion of a non-issue. Whatever.
