All Encompassing Matt Schaub Thread

Maybe when 5 NFL teams are interested (including the GM commonly considered the NFL's best) everyone should reconsider their certainty.

Come on Cak, you know these Schaub experts are waaaaay smarter than actual NFL people getting paid to do the job.

/end sarcasm
 
On channel 11 last night old sports anchorn Bob Allen took a shot at Schaub and asked why anybody would want to sign him ? So then News anchor Len Cannon asks why he took a shot at Schaub, and I have to ask the same question ? Schaub is gone and was a good citizen when in Houston, but his career ended. ThenAllen seemed annoyed by Lens question. Old codger Allen needs to get a different schedule for his meds, he gets out of sorts lots of times on their newscasts.

Yea I think Allen is a jerk. An I don't know what his problem is with Schaub ?
Matt and his wife Laurie donated a lot of time and money to the Texas Children Hospital in Houston when they were still local residents and he was playing for the Texans. And the most success this team ever had was when he was our QB but it ended on bad note for sure. OK just drop it Allen, don't be
a jerk about it.
 
Good for Schaub. He was never a great QB but he was good enough if he had the right team around him. Good man too.

I was never a big fan of his, mostly because I didn't think he was quite good enough to win a Super Bowl with. But I readily admit that he's the best QB this franchise has had, and he doesn't get near the respect that he deserves from the fan base.

Agree.

It'll be interesting to see a team try to emulate the Shaniak offense without Kubiak/Little Shanny/Rick Dennison.

I think most people respect him for what he brought to the table, but they blame him for the Texans not having a better plan for life after Schaub.

They did, and I think he'd be remembered quite differently if Leinhart hadn't got injured after less than a half of football

I agree. I was sure we had a decent backup in Leinart. Who knew he was so brittle.

I had heard they were interested at the time of my posting that.

As a backup, he should be fine....meaning he never sees the field....LOL

But seriously, he is a better option than Tyrod Taylor who at one point was rated over Cam Newton coming out of high school....LOL
 
Schaub says Ravens will have an elite quarterback room


Before Tuesday, the Ravens had Joe Flacco and a couple of anonymous youngsters at quarterback. Now, they have Flacco, Matt Schaub, and a couple of anonymous youngsters at quarterback.

And Schaub marked his arrival in Baltimore with some extreme confidence about the quality of the quarterback position, given his addition to it.

“I feel like we’re going to have one of the best [quarterback] rooms in football,” Schaub told reporters on Wednesday, via the team’s official website. “We’re going to grow, we’re going to compete, we’re going to help each other to get better.”

Setting aside for now the lingering question of whether Joe Flacco is truly elite, signing Schaub doesn’t exactly give the Ravens a murderer’s row at the position. Sure, Schaub has had his moments. But ever since he became the master of the pick six in 2013, his career has gone off the rails.

Last year, Schaub couldn’t beat out a second-round draft pick, ultimately throwing 10 passes on the season with two interceptions, one of which came after the Raiders shifted out of field goal formation and Schaub threw a deep pass that was picked off by Browns safety Tashaun Gipson.

So while Flacco may still be an elite starter, Schaub is hardly an elite backup. But for the dearth of NFL quarterback talent, Schaub likely wouldn’t even have a job.

As it is, he’s getting a base package of $2 million. That’s great money for non-NFL quarterbacks, but it’s less than 10 percent of the top of the current pro football market.

Even then, plenty of Texans and Raiders fans would claim that Schaub has been grossly overpaid.

This reeks of Florio's Schaub-hate.

The word "elite" tends to generate a strong and emotional response, but the fact is that Schaub at no time used that word. His comment that they would have "one of the best" quarterback rooms in football should not generate any controversy whatsoever, yet somehow it ended up in PFT's headline as Shaub throwing around the word elite.

Florio's an ass.

Florio is trying to generate buzz via negativity. Out of all the possible quotes in the Ravens' website piece, that's the only one Florio could twist in a negative direction. And even that's a big stretch.
I mean, what was Schaub supposed to say? "ummm, we're gonna suck; no one here is worth a damn".

Some of these so-called sports reporters should have their posting privledges revoked.
 
Damn, Schaub can't even try to be positive in his generic answers without people getting all over his jock strap about it.

Schaub as backup QB is no different than many other past-their-prime QBs cashing in as backups. It really reveals the vacuum in this league at a priority position.
 
Being generic aside, where'd he say anything about them being elite?

He's talking up his situation with his new team. Who cares.
 
Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs continues to aim barbs at quarterback Matt Schaub
Baltimore Sun

Ravens outside linebacker and rabble-rouser Terrell Suggs has built his Pro Bowl reputation on harassing quarterbacks, but this training camp, he has targeted Ravens backup quarterback Matt Schaub verbally more than he has in the pass rush.

Suggs' verbal jabs at Schaub continued Saturday, when the longest-tenured Raven laid into the backup quarterback after both good and bad plays. After Schaub threw a downfield pass out of bounds, Suggs began hurling shots Schaub’s way.

“Everything up until the throw looked really good,” he yelled at Schaub, who looked away and didn’t respond.

Then, later in practice, Schaub completed a touchdown pass to undrafted rookie DeAndre Carter, with safety Will Hill in coverage. Suggs did his best to comfort Hill.

“It’s OK, Will,” Suggs called out. “A broken clock is right twice a day.”

These weren't Suggs' first barbs at the former Houston Texans quarterback. Last weekend, a string of incompletions led Suggs to remind Schaub: “Your guys are the guys in purple.”

There were several other opportunities later in practice Saturday for Suggs to continue his onslaught, but considering Suggs took his cleats off with about an hour left in practice, he might have checked out and missed those chances.​

Did Schaub put the schlog to Sugg's woman or something?
 
Terrell Suggs Called Schaub Out for Interceptions in Training Camp

The long-time Ravens defensive standout has never been particularly shy about sharing his opinion and he hasn’t backed down from criticizing his team’s latest backup quarterback.

After delivering a particularly impressive hit during training camp drills, Suggs added a verbal blow when Schaub overthrew his down-field receivers, yelling, “Hey Matt, your guys are the guys in purple.”

Schaub has not looked particularly precise during the first full practices of camp and, according to ESPN, he’s “easily thrown the most interceptions of any Ravens quarterback.” Still, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh has been quick to defend the 34-year-old, recently telling reporters:
 
Ouch...

But all that said, based upon what we’ve seen thus far from Schaub during training camp and during OTA’s, if the former Texan has to handle signal calling duties for an extended period of time, there will be no games beyond the scheduled 16. He’s been rather awful.

In his defense, he’s throwing to receivers with whom he has no rapport. The learning curve is far from complete. Plus he’s throwing to second and third string players. The idiosyncrasies vital to a pitch and catch tandem have yet to surface and the timing is off.

Yet none of this explains away the poor decision-making Schaub has shown all too often. I’ve watched one-on-one match-ups closely during my 12 years of covering camp and I cannot recall a time when a receiver, isolated on a corner with no pressure and no one else on the field, has run a slant and the corner intercepted it.

That’s exactly what happened when Schaub tried to connect with Aldrick Robinson when Quinton Pointerjumped the route and picked it off.

Later, after Flacco engineered an efficient scoring drive for a winning score, starting at his own 10 with 1:42 remaining against the first-string defense, culminating in a 40-yard strike to Steve Smith, Sr. (Lardarius Webb covering), Schaub took over facing the same uphill climb against the 2’s.
