    This sounds like a Casserly deal. A 1st and 3rd for a proven nobody!!!
    Man...I dunno!!

    Supposibly Kubiak this great QB Guru right??? Then why couldn't he fix Carr!!
    And pass on (you know who) one year ago??

    I dunno fellas!!! I just want them to win!!

    Sounds like a fair deal to me. Sorry Kolb fans. Looks like Karl's going to another team this year.

    I can live with that I guess... Now if they can trade down from their spot in the 1st round and get 2 decent picks, this could be a fantastic off-season.

    how long before the other shoe falls? You'd think we have a deal in place for Carr also right? Or do we just release him?

    I like this move. Now time to move Carr for a pick
    Plus, that means no Brady :D

    They are trading a second round pick, not a 1st and 3rd.

    In this case, I retract my harsh comment and now hail Sir John as one the best writers in the world ;)

    My money is on Oakland. They will trade for Carr and draft Calvin Johnson, who by far, is the number one player on the draft board.

    i'm seriously excited about this. in many ways, i'm simply relieved.

    so...give up a 2nd rounder...bring in Schaub.

    trade Carr for a 3rd rounder. still leaves you with 3 first day picks.

    I can't believe we're giving up a 1st and a 3rd for this guy!!!

    :mad:







    I'm kidding. I like this deal. Don't know much about Schaub. Let's hope he turns into the next Steve Young....not the next Rob Johnson.

    I wonder how Ric will spin this as just a PR move to sell tickets while keeping Carr? :D

    If they could get Oakland's third rounder, it would essentially be like a second given it's first overall in the round.

    Good pickup. On offense we will have- Andre, Shaub, Green, Daniels. Another WR would be nice.

    Out of curiosity, what is Schaub's pocket presence like?

    He looked good in brief stints last year. He was tremendous in college, set several ACC records I believe. He's sort of an unknown to some extent I think, but he looks to be as good a prospect as any of the ones coming out of the draft.

    I really like Schaub, but I was hoping that pick could be used on Joe Staley. Hopefully the Texans will trade down and pick him up late in the first.

    I love this deal. Since it means we're

    A. not drafting Brady Quinn
    B. not keeping Carr
    C. only giving up a 2nd round pick for a starting QB

    Granted, Schaub is unproven and could be a bust. But there's an inherent risk in everything. At least we don't need another 5 years to judge whether or not he's a bust, and we're not wasting a top pick on that gamble either.

    Damn, I guess Kolb isn't coming here. :(

    Trade would seem great depending on what we get for David, but this trade can only decrease his value - it's not like the Texans might keep him, no leverage now.
