From what I recollect, he is the anti-Carr. He has good pocket presence and is able to step up in the pocket to buy time, but his arm strength is not nearly in the same league as Carr. He is also not quite as good an athlete as Carr, but he can scramble if necessary.
That is why we are probably not getting the 3rd rounder from Oakland. I'd be happy with their 4th and future considerations though.
I don't think they were going to trade Carr before finding a replacement. Then teams would know they are desperate and they could jack up the price. Remember they tried to lock up Garcia, Plummer, and Ramsey.
Depending on what happens with Carr, this could be anywhere from good to very, very good for the Texans. I just hope that yall can find something else to argue incessantly over.
this is the best thing that could have happened if they really wanted to get rid of carr. I was also not on the quinn wagon, no more growing pains. the guys on 790 were ready to do this deal at the 1st and 3rd pick. I thought they were nuts. I don't have radio in my office. I wonder what they're saying now.
high five, hurray, good bye Mr. Carr pricy move, but you cut your losses from a year ago. Now get at least a 3rd round pick for Carr and all systems are on go. Must have a great draft, Sounds like we will have Schaub compete with Sage and possibly draft a QB in the later rounds (maybe) We still have next season to look at free agent QB's also. Who knows Schaub might have the 'it'
That's a great freaking move. Very low cost for a young starting qb. Surprised that atlanta let him go and that other teams didn't offer up as much for him. Wonder what the future considerations are.
Hou and Atl swap 1st rounders this year and Atl gets our 2nd round pick this year and next. Bascially Houston receives Matt Schaud Atl's number 1 this year Atlanta gets Houston's 1st this year 2nd this year 2nd next year.
He was interviewed on Colin Cowherd's show about 3 weeks ago, and Colin had nothing but praise for him, basically saying that he's the best backup QB in the game and that he'd be starting on many teams- an impossibility on a team with Vick. Now, I take what they say with a grain of salt, but he seemed to be pretty sincere in his praise of him. Didn't really think much about it until this came up. Maybe a diamond in the rough? We can only hope.
Not necessarily. This may be an acknowledgement by the Texans that bringing Carr back would be a sticky situation at best. But someone STILL has to take Carr and I just don't see a trade market for him out there. I'm not at all sold on this guy either so what this means is anyone's guess but it would be interesting to see the Texans' spin if they do end up giving up draft picks which they supposedly weren't going to give up anymore. Even if this trade comes about, I still remain underwhelmed over their off season moves to date. I'll just have to see how the draft works out.
Trade is done. Jay Glazer said the trade is Schaub, ATL 2007 first round pick to HOU for Texans first round pick in 2007, second round pick in 2007, second round pick in 2008.
sorry, its a trade. I wonder why atlanta would sign him to the max deal that required a 1st and 3rd if another team signed him, and then settle for this deal.
