As readers of this blog know, I'm a Matt Shaub fan. I think he's got great physical tools and the heart to be a NFL quarterback. Now he gets a shot, though I pray to god the Texans front line stays together long enough to keep him upright.
The fact that they lose two second rounders makes this deal a bit costly, but you have to take into account that the Texas figure they can get a first day pick for David Carr, who now needs to get the hell out of town as quickly as possible if he's going to get another shot somewhere to possibly be a starter.
Where would that be? Maybe Miami, unless they're convinced Brady Quinn will fall to them. Possibly Kansas City, unless they're sure Trent Green can last long enough for Brodie Croyle to step in. Possibly the Radars, only to give JaMarcus Russell a chance to sit and learn. Other options could be Detroit, unless they are going to take Quinn Number 2 Overall or possibly Jacksonville or Minnesota if they're not sold on their current starting options. I don't know, we'll see what happens. Personally, I'd love to see Carr with Jack Del Rio in Jacksonville. I think the two would be good.
If you're Michael Vick, you also gotta feel more secure about your job security today, no?
like I said on my Blogg The Falcons made out huge.
They moved up in this draft and have their eyes on someone. There is a target. Be it a QB? I don't know. But it is a major move and the 2 2nd round picks were just the icing on the cake.
Schaub better be able to take a beating or Carr might be right back at the helm......
The Falcons got the much better end of this deal. Schaub had to go one way or the other, if they waited til the end of the season they would have gotten nothing for him.
I don't see why you look him so much - in the games he has played his numbers haven't been anything more than decent. More picks than TDs in all of em. Did the Texans just get another David Carr? Let's see.
I'm a long time Texas Rangers fan who has come to love baseball as a whole. I recently began this blog as a way for me to showcase my opinions, provide some analysis, and hopefully entertain those who happen to stumble upon my little soapbox online. I'll toss in an NFL, College, or NBA nugget every now and then. Enjoy the posts everyone, and yes, getting a little love in a Deadspin post was probably the highlight of the year, blogwise.
