What has Schwab done that we should be happy about? His career stats look like a good game for some QB's. Beats anything we could pick up in the second round though, I just don't get it...why should we be any more excited about this than Green or any other moves we have made.

Just saw on NFL network they traded him to the Texans for the 2nd rd pick!
I would like to nominate Rick Smith as GM of the Century.....
Because it means a new QB and a new direction for the Texans.

Falcons to trade QB Schaub to Texans
By Adam Schefter
NFL Analyst
Adam Schefter's "Around the League" reports and commentaries can be seen regularly on NFL Total Access.
(March 21, 2007) -- A trade that has been speculated on for over a year is now completed.
By day's end, the Atlanta Falcons will trade backup quarterback Matt Schaub to the Houston Texans, according to NFL sources. The Texans will surrender a second-round draft pick, and there could be other compensation involved.
The trade has massive ramifications. The Texans have their quarterback of the future, which David Carr no longer is. The Falcons are reaffirming their faith in Michael Vick, who now also needs a new backup. And the Texans are out of the Brady Quinn derby, leaving the Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins as possible landing spots.
The trade, once officially completed, validates the Falcons' commitment to Vick, whom new Atlanta head coach Bobby Petrino told the first time they met, "You're my guy."
Since then, Petrino and Vick have been working together closely on an almost daily basis, prepping for the coming season.
The Falcons, who quietly had been entertaining offers for Schaub this offseason, had tendered their backup quarterback a $2 million offer, meaning that any team that signed him to an offer sheet would have to surrender first- and third-round draft choices to the Falcons. Of course, the Falcons also could always trade Schaub, and that is the course of action the team has pursued.
The Texans will be acquiring a quarterback that has thrown only 161 career passes, 81 of which were completed, with six touchdown passes and six interceptions. But Schaub long has been considered a quarterback worthy of starting, and he was the top bargaining chip the Falcons have.
Now they've decided to cash it in.
Another thought: Since Smith was so adamant about not losing any draft picks are we definatly looking at a trade down scenario in the draft?
nothing outstanding but for some reason ive seen alot of his games- v the pats and some1 else who i forget and he has IT!..That calming effect that sage seems to have..and a good arm also
his stats arent great but look at the yds and completed passes:
84 passes for 1,033..thats what? 12 yds per completion which is good(no more 3 yd curls)
That would be nice...
I'd like to see Vick with a reciever like Moss, and I'd like to get rid of Carr...
Works out great if they can make it happen....

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans are on the verge of a trade that would send quarterback Matt Schaub to the Texans in exchange for a swapping of first-round draft picks in this year's NFL Draft, a second-round draft pick in this year's draft and a second-round pick in 2008. Schaub is trying to work out a long-term deal with the Texans. While the deal is not yet finalized, it is expected to be completed Wednesday, March 21.

wow that is a little steep- still ok though
790 guest is reporting flop #1's this year plus 2nd's this year and next.
Sounds steep to me also. Hopefully we'll be able to get something for Carr and offset the price of the trade some (if this is correct.)
i hate to throw water on the party, but is this deal official yet? I aint popping the cork until this deal is signed sealed and delivered.
I hope to god we don't switch first rounders.
