leedsunited Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 What does this mean for Carr?-Michigan's only Houston Texans fan.what do you think it means? They didn't trade for Schaub to keep him as a backup, esp at that cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedawg22 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 If the The Falcons are sure that the Raiders will take JaMarcus Russell at #1 they should trade up to #2 and grab Calvin Johnson.Might work... CJ's used to catching passes from a horrible QB. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

pcgd Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I thought Houston was the winner when I first heard of hte trade...When it was Schaub for a 2nd rounder...But 2 2nd round picks? That's pretty steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 They gave up allot and I think Carr just needs a line and is better then Schaub www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 If the The Falcons are sure that the Raiders will take JaMarcus Russell at #1 they should trade up to #2 and grab Calvin Johnson.The Falcons already have a bunch of money and two recent first-round picks tied up to WR's (Michael Jenkins, Roddy White, Brian Finneran, and Joe Horn). They aren't going after Calvin Johnson unless he drops to 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Record Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 They gave up allot and I think Carr just needs a line and is better then SchaubAgreed, Carr-nikova is probably better than Schaub. With what the Texans gave up, though, they have to be thinking that Schaub is the QB of the future. Nobody (in their right mind) gives up that much for a backup QB.

Nobody (in their right mind) gives up that much for a backup QB.I don't know what led them to believe that. Schaub was a mid round draft pick, and looking at his numbers, he hasn't done much to improve that status.In my opinion, Schaub is making a lot of money (and the Falcons have gained a wealth of picks) by virtue of picking apart a decimated Patriots secondary on national TV. As a Lions fan, I know how a few good games as a backup don't necessarily translate to starting ability, thank you very much Scott Mitchell. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

NJTank Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 The Falcons need a back up now and I think they should sign Aaron Brooks, Vick's cousin hes not done good as a starter but backing up Vick hes an experienced starter who can step in and play similar to Vick. As for Carr he will be a good pick up as a reclamation project I would not mind even seeing the Dolphins nab him. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Lets say Vick struggles massively (which he really hasnt done to the extent its been made out to be) or he even goes down. If the Falcons put the ball into Brooks' hands they're royally screwed. Ill say one thing though. Now that Atlanta has Horn, who can at least act like he knows what the hell hes doing while running a route, Vick should have an easier time looking good. But if at any point Vick goes down and you see Brooks manning the helm, you can pretty much put money on it that the Bucs (Yeah, shaddup ) or Aints are gonna finish a few games ahead of them (Panthers are STILL overrated).

If Vick breaks out in his offense, he just got a lot for the NFL's "hot" (i.e. "most marketable") backup. Brooks would be a stop-gap and they can always pick up a capable backup QB in the 3rd-5th rounds. If Vick flops, I would look for Petrino to go after former pupil Brian Brohm for 2008.

TFoA Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Aaron Brooks = WTF Moment of this thread. Dan said it best, if we were to pick up Aaron Brooks and he somehow got his way into a game, then our goose is cooked.If anybody, I say that we should just continue nurturing our "as-of-right-now backup D.J. Shockley", and pick up Anthony Wright. Either way, we need a backup mobile QB who is not Aaron Brooks or Shaun King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Atlanta wipped Houston. Big time.But Carr had to go. He had run out of oppurtunities. Sure he had a bad OLine, but Rosenfels didnt seem to have an issue when he stepped in and played. Carr just couldnt read the D fast enough, and held on too long. Hopefully Schaub does better.

whitedawg22 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Houston gave away way to much for Schaub, but at least they signed him to a pretty favorable contract. It's being reported as a 6 year, $48 mil deal that's really more of a 3 year, $20 mil deal. Besides the pick ransom they gave up for him, anytime you can get a young starting QB locked up for 6 years and less money than a decent guard is going for these days, it's a good move. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Telemundo219 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Am I the only guy who thinks Carr and Schaub will both benefit from this deal???For Schaub, I got two words: Brett Favre. This guy was in a similar situation when he was on the Falcons (as a backup), went to Green Bay, and look, we have ourselves a future HOF'er. I'm not saying this will happen to Schaub, but anything is possible.For Carr, as someone said earlier, he is a great quarterback who needs the right fit. He's young and actually reminds of Steve Young. If he can get a good O-Line, he has the potential to be a star in the making. I hope KC picks him up (I'm not sure if Huard will do the job). College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
