But isn't there a chance that he just might do better than Carr? You still have to give people a chance, even if they have been on the bench, you'd be surprised as to how good some quarterbacks on the bench are. He led the Falcons down 15 to the Patriots and had like 3 TDs over 280 yards and they only lost by 3 points.[QUOTE="SilverArmor82"][QUOTE="dkhw"]Schaub trade is not the worst trade ever. Why? because we haven't even seen Schaub play for chris sake. Let the kid play then decide. The worst football trade might be Philips River, Shawn Merriman (it was a pick, but Chargers picked him up as a result of getting a pick), Luis Castillo for Eli manning. dkhw
It's possible...that's why I said let the kid play the first season with Houston then start to decide if he really is the "real" thing. But I am still baffled by what Houston saw in Schaub. There is not much pro data on him and upside can be a very misleading thing. His pro career stats are 1033 yards, 6 TD, 6 INT on 50 % completiton, not a "wow" to any. But then again, watching him pick apart Billichick led Pat defense was inspiring and hopeful. I am not sure how much of an improvement Schaub is over Carr. Carr has been sacked over 250 times over 5 or 6 years and although the offensive line was better last season, it's still gonna affect how well Schaub will perform in Houston. Schaub will be pressure early on by the fans to perform well and remeber these Texans fans are the very fans that blamed pratically everything on Carr like the woeful offense, woeful season performance, no playoff appearence.
Kubiak spoke to 3 different coaches who have worked with Schaub and they all recommended him along with Jake Plummer. I think the biggest thing that Schaub will bring to the table is leadership and that is a quality that the coaches talked about that Schaub had. Another reason as to why Carr did not have success was his lack of leadership............the players did not really respect him a lot. Plus like I've said before, the Falcons run a very similiar running based west coast offense that the Texans run and well, Schaub is very familiar with the system.
