Falcons Trade Matt Schaub to Houston

I still don't quite understand the fascination with Matt Schaub. The guy has started two games in his career. Granted, he's shown some flashes, but his career TD to INT ratio is 1:1 and his lifetime passer rating is 69.2. Can anyone say AJ Feeley?

I think the fascination is simply because he's been backing up a QB preordained to be the NFL's savior who hasn't lived up to it. And with Vick struggling, who is more popular than his backup? I don't know why, but I think Jake Delhomme when I think of Schaub

AJ Feeley. Hey, that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

Nice. The Falcons may dread the day they let this kid go.

On another note: If CJ is there at 6, I guarantee the Skins take him and keep him.
nothing personal, but there is no way the skins want anything to do with Johnson, other then trading him. the simple fact is we have much greater needs then a wide out. regardless of how good anyone thinks he will be. i don't know why anyone would want him, as dreadful as our defense was last season. and i am one who isnt sold on shaub. a second for him is a coup for the falcons

No doubt we have greater needs, I agee with you there. But Calvin Johnson is, I hate to say can't miss, close as it gets.

We can find a DT either in the draft or FA or coach up what we have. A Calvin Johnson won't be next years draft or the year after.

on the pro level, who do you think he compares with?

Can someone tell me what Matt Schaub has done in the NFL besides play well in pre season? I know he filled in for Vick a few games and played well. But to apparently trade away Carr and give this guy the job is so stupid. I guess that's why the Texans are the Texans.

PFT is reporting that the Falcons got 2 2nd round picks and a switch from the 10th pick to the 8th in rnd 1.

That is a rapage then. Schaub, who I think could be very good, has done nothing. If that is what they got then they absolutely should go to jail for highway robbery. Sounds like a deal we'd make.

Honestly, I would say Jerry Rice. I'm not saying he's that right here, right now. But from what I've seen of him, heard of him, he's got it.
