I would have to answer yes to that question.yes i like it, or yes i dislike it
LMAO...and this is based on what? Too bad he chose not to "excel" here.Carr will excel wherever he goes, and I understand the bad blood between Carr and Houston. However, unless they find a way to recoup the picks they gave up for Schaub, I think this was a bad deal.
Remember that we "potentially" gave up 2 "potential" 8-10 yr starters for a "potential" star QB. I'm still not happy about the deal, but it IS a done deal and we're all talking hypothetically, anyway. One thing is certain. I will be watching all the players we miss out on because of this deal.No second round choice for 2 consecutive years... this guy better be one hell of a QB or we just gave away two 8-10 year starters on potential. I dont like it, unless we can get a second rounder for Carr, I think we would have been better off waiting for a better situation.
They've been getting "played" by a particular QB for 5 seasons.2 thumbs down on this one - I think they got played
I agree with this, personally. Right now I'm on the fence - where my own feelings fall will depend a lot on what we get for David Carr. And I hate to admit it but i think a lot of posters on these boards are right: if a deal's not already in place we'll be lucky to get anything at all. If that's the case, effectively our 2nd and 3rd rounders (in terms of value) seems kind of expensive to me.I really think it depends on what we can get for Carr.
If we can get a 2008 2nd round pick(which is comperable to a 3rd round 2007 pick), then to us as fans, its really only like we gave one 2nd round pick for Matt.
Yeah, but y'all let the wrong QB go. The only title Vick is getting is the QB rushing title.As a Falcons fan, I loved this trade.
A lot of Falcons fans feel the same way. But they don't get the whole picture. Most of the time when Vick runs it's not by choice. We had an undersized crappy O-line under that rotten Gibbs cut-blocking scheme which works great for run blocking but sucks ass at pass blocking. We also have WR's that drop 90% of the balls that hit them in the numbers. But getting rid of Gibbs and his undersized runts with Petrino rebuilding it into a power spread, and adding some hogs at the O-line will help Vick a lot. I would have liked to have seen what Schaub would have done in that system, but you guys gave us too good a deal to pass up.Yeah, but y'all let the wrong QB go.

I hear ya, but Vick never has and probably never will be a true passer. I think he's a great athlete, just not a great QB.A lot of Falcons fans feel the same way.

Vick is the best non throwing QB i've ever seenI hear ya, but Vick never has and probably never will be a true passer. I think he's a great athlete, just not a great QB.
We did give Atlanta a good deal, no doubt. OTOH, I think Houston got a decent deal too. It's not over yet either. I think Smith is going to do his best in order to get some picks back. They probably won't be #2s, but somethings better than nothing.
