David's Busted Carr
Waterboy
Ever since the season ended people have been screaming for Carr to be run out of town.
So the Texans FINALLY make a move to replace David Carr and some of you people ARE STILL COMPLAINING!
I personally am THRILLED by this trade!
Gave up too much? Really? The tender on him was a 1st and a 3rd round pick. We managed to keep our first round pick. Swapping #8 for #10 isn't going to hurt much. We'll still get one of the players we target (Okoye, Landry, Brown, or maybe Leon Hall). The value of 2 second round picks is less than the value of a 1st and a 3rd. So IMO actually gave up less than they wanted.
And then figure in whatever we managed to get for Carr as a part of this deal. If we can get a 3rd round pick, then we're even that much better off!
And why are you people being so pessimistic? If you could have chosen any AVAILABLE FA or RFA quarterback that you would want on your team Schaub is BY FAR the best choice! I honeslty didn't think Atlanta would move him. I thought they might move Vick before Schaub!
They got BY FAR the best AVALIABLE option. Schaub is 25 years old, has already been in the league for 3 years learning, and is HUNGRY to prove his worth at the NFL level. I think we just got our QB for the next 8-10 years!
Schaub is highly regarded around the ENTIRE NFL as a future star that just needs a chance. I personally think this guy will be the next Matt Hasslebeck or Tom Brady.
What were our other options?
Garcia - he's old and only has a couple years left at most.
Plummer - lost desire for the game and again 7 years older than Schaub
Harrington - lol
Draft a QB? - We've already been down that around and you'd be back at square one with developmental stages.
Congrats Gary Kubiak and Rick Smith. Way to go get your man! Lets build around this guy and leave the Carr era in the past.
