Thanks for your support!
yes i like it, or yes i dislike it
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.
2 thumbs down on this one - I think they got played
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.
As a Falcons fan, I loved this trade.
Yeah, but y'all let the wrong QB go. The only title Vick is getting is the QB rushing title.
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.
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.
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.
