They need to get an O-line before paying another QB because Schaub will get ground into the turf just like Carr. I would like to Carr get a chance to play somewhere else. He'll do well I think. He has a great arm and when given the rare chance to throw in Houston, did very well (don't believe me, look at Andre Johnson's stats).
Atlanta: The new coach said he's giving the ball to Vick and saying this is his year to prove if he can lead the team or not, "his last chance". Honestly, criminal activity and tabloid-like stories aside, I don't believe Vick will succeed. He's an incredible athlete, but not cut out to be a Super Bowl-winning QB, which is the goal of every owner in the NFL aside from Detroit. Also, Vick's best quality is his running ability, which carries a high risk for injury. I think they're really going to regret losing Schaub, the QB a lot of Falcon fans want to see lead the team in the future.

With all these extra picks the Falcons now have, Petrino might have his eye on a project QB in the draft this year. And I wouldn't feel too bad for Carr. Even if he loses the QB competition this year with Shaub, he'll get his chances elsewhere. Due to the Texans' dreadful O-line, I'd bet there are a number of people around the league who think Carr might have the goods if he could only get protection.
