Would you give up a 2nd for Matt Schaub

[texastwister]

• The Atlanta Falcons are willing to part with backup QB Matt Schaub for a second-round pick. If the Bengals choose not to re-sign free agent Jon Kitna, Schaub could emerge as a candidate to bridge the gap until Carson Palmer's return from a left knee injury.

Absolutely.

No doubt.

In a heartbeat.

In a second.

Without hesitation.

Before you could say "Romo".

You bet I would. I would be willing to give up a #1 for the guy but if all it takes is a #2 I'd be knocking on Alt door.

Nope, I don't think he's worth it.

If you guys can get him for a 4th, or low 3rd rounder. That's a steal....and it would mean that there is some long term planning going on in Dallas.

Otherwise, you draft a guy and start Bledsoe for one more year.

Not as close as this team is to the playoffs. We have a good quarterback and apparently a good backup. We have too many other needs (OL, Safety, WR, K, etc) to spend a second on a maybe at a quarterback.

 

[NYCowboy22]

I think a 2nd is a bit much for an unproven backup.

His skills are not that of a backup QB.

 

[Chuck 54]

No....if I was going to do that, I'd prefer drafting one. Matt Shaub doesn't win in Atlanta...thus all the talk about how great Vick is because his team wins with him and loses without him.

So a 3rd round pick for him is a steal but a 2nd is not worthy?

That doesn't make sense.

If he is a "steal" for a 3rd rounder than that would mean he is a 2nd round value.

And why do so many think that it is wiser to draft a QB than to get one just as young and potentially capable but has already played for an NFL team, learned an NFL offense, and shown success on the Big Field? With how many busts and misses come out of the draft at QB every year, give me an experienced potential youngin any day over a crapshoot.

Ridiculous, IMO.

 

[Rack]

No

way

in

hell.

 

[Letemburn]

Would give up a 3rd. No way to 2nd.

I didn't say "a low 3rd" by mistake.

 

[Doomsday101]

Once you get past the top 2 QB in this draft there is no one out there better that Schaub. A team would be getting a player who has had some success playing the position at the NFL level and is a lot closer to being a sure thing than a high priced rookie.

 

[Dayton Cowboy]

No, I would not make that trade. I think Schaub is best suited for the WCO. Even though we could use to get rid of the ball quicker, the 'Boys still like to throw the deep ball.

That's not exactly true about Vick, at least anymore. He was different for a while but teams eventually figure everything out.

I'm a huge VA fan and I'd love to see Schaub in Dallas, but not for anything but next year's three, not this year.

 

[Qwickdraw]

So let me get this strait...
if Matt Schaub were in this year's draft, you wouldn't spend the #50 pick on him?

The guy who threw for 300 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INT against the Patriots?


This just reminds me why I'm glad some of you really aren't in a position to actually make team affecting decisions.

 

[Wheat]

If I were you guys. I would spend that #50 pick on a OL or Safety.

You have a QB.

What is funny is despite all the starts that Vick has, he has thrown for 300 yards 1 time. Schaub with only a couple of starts put up 300 on NE with 3 TD passes.

 

[Doomsday101]

We have a QB for a year or 2 waiting until he retires put us right back where we were when Troy Aikman retired.

 

[MinnesotaCowboy]

I would probably say "yes" unless they are finally going to give Romo or Henson a chance! Better yet, would Payton give up a 2nd for Romo?
