Fair warning, this is a topic that probably NOBODY wants to hear about anymore. 

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, QB Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans is done for the season with a Lisfranc injury to his foot. 

Everyone knows that this is most likely coach Gary Kubiak's last chance to make the Playoff or he's out, and this is yet another huge blow that adds to Houston's injury woes this season. 

The Texans first dealt with hamstring problems with star RB Arian Foster, then Mario Williams went down for the season with a pectoral injury. A hamstring injury has also forced the Texans to be without star WR Andre Johnson for six weeks though he might return against Jacksonville following a bye week. 

That said, this injury to Schaub might be the one that finally cripples the Texans and their chances to finally break into the Playoffs. The Texans defense this year has improved by leaps and bounds with new coordinator Wade Phillips as well as the additions of guys like CB Johnathan Joseph and DE J.J. Watt. Their offense has even been able to survive without Foster and Johnson due to players like Ben Tate and Kevin Walter stepping up into their roles. But it always hurts when your QB goes down, especially for an extended period of time. 

With Schaub done for the season, the offense now gets turned over to backup QB Matt Leinart. Since being drafted 10th overall by the Arizona Cardinals in 2006, Leinart hasn't done much to impress. Seriously... this guy lost his job at one point to the 2010 version of Derek Anderson. That's brutal. 

Houston coaches were saying that they were impressed with him in the pre-season. Houston does run the ball more than any other team in the league, so at least the offense won't be totally reliant upon the play of Leinart. Maybe he'll only have to make short, manageable throws while only taking minimal chances. Maybe he can succeed as an NFL QB afterall. But what if he doesn't?

Even with a great running attack and a great defense, Houston can't be too confident with Leinart stepping in, and the situation will only get worse if he struggles. So, here's where that whole "F Word" part comes into play - Favre. Yes, the man we've all grown very tired of hearing about, Brett Favre. 

Sure, the ol' gunslinger is currently "retired," but this is a very favorable situation for him to step into with Houston. It wouldn't surprise me, or many others I'm sure if Favre were to step into a starting role mid-season. I actually think that's probably the ideal situation for him to comeback again. The Texans are a winning team, are definitely top tier on both sides of the ball this season, but now they might be in desperate need of a QB. A partial season in Houston with a high-powered offense and a chance to make a deep Playoff run. As much as I hate to admit it, it makes total sense if Houston and Favre are both up to the task.
