Schaub traded to Texans

[tony]

From what I hear we will get the #8 pick from Houston, hopefully this means we will have the #8 and #10 pick in the draft and what else does this say?

THE FALCONS ARE STICKING WITH MICHAEL VICK!

update: Supposedly we get the #8 pick, a 2nd round pick and another 2nd round pick next year.

[ShooterMcGavin]

retarded move, especially since no one knows how vick will function in the new offense under petrino...

[thinkfast®]

WOW

[2.0civic]

well i guess the texans offense will get better

[2.0civic]

and its hard to believe vicks been in the NFL this long and still has speed

[Kelly]

Thinkfast, my face would've been perfect for this thread.


Anyways, I heard Schaub already signed another contract with us for a year. You sure on this one???

[PhAtBoYMr2]

Weather or not it's true i think it would be a pretty good move....

shockley will move up to second string and it will open up the salary cap a little more and we will get decent draft picks.

Falcons are trying to build a dynasty

not w/o a better line, carr will just be able to take a few snaps off to let schaub get sacked...

[ShooterMcGavin]

lol, if that were the case then they should've started by signing a dynasty qb (read: peyton manning, carson palmer, tom brady, etc)

If it's true, I hope Schaub gets his chance over there and blows up. He deserves it....

[thinkfast®]

DEAL HASNT EVEN BEEN SIGNED, THIS IS JUST TALKS.. FROM NFL.COM THO IT WILL PROBLY GO THROUGH SOON..

[gtikid]

According to ESPN, it has...

They'd be so retarted.

Not with Shockley, they won't. I really liked Schaub at QB. They should have traded him for picks instead of Schaub, but I guess they wouldn't have gotten as good of picks. Later, QD.

[OneSlow5pt0]

worst move the falcons have done since trading Brett Farve


edit:2nd worest move,the other was passing on LT and drafting Vick

[tony]

For all of you who say this is a stupid move and speak so highly of Schaub... THANK YOU! Its because of you guys that the Falcons can take a 3rd round draft pick who has never won a game and trade up to a first round pick with two second round picks.. its just great.

Supposedly Falcons are just moving up to #8 and giving up the #10 pick to the Texans. By the way Schaub will still be a backup to Carr.. maybe we can swing a deal with the Texans next year and get a couple of 2nd rounders for a kicker... suckers.

Trust me this is not speculation, this deal has been done.

[o_bomb]

wow what a crazy move!!

Shockleys college career > shaubs college career

I have alot of faith in D.J so anything you say negative about him i'm going to have to disagree, he played his ass off at uga

but what can you expect from former uga players

[bigpimpatl]

well there goes our insurance policy...i'm guessing they are trying to get calvin johnson? I don't see too many problems with the falcons, so why did they opt to get more draft picks? bad move...we'll end up signing someone bananas like JEFF GEORGE when we find out vick is taking the team down the drain...

We're in the pros now. College career isn't even in the topic of this discussion.

We're in the pros now. Disagree with that. Lolol. As probably 100% of the NFL players will agree with me, college and pro ball are completely different. Nothing wrong with having faith in a player, but just because he "played his ass of at UGA," that doesn't mean he still be the same good QB in the NFL. Later, QD.

The draft picks will be defensive players..

[ShooterMcGavin]

CJ will be long gone by the 8th pick

[OneSlow5pt0]

CJ going to the Bucs,hopefully thats where id like him to go in the Top 5

[ShooterMcGavin]

[Firefightin_tC]

This is why I'm a Raven's fan.

[Nomad!]

I guess the 1yr deal he signed with the Falcons was negotiable? This was a pretty interesting move being that Schaub shinned coming off of the bench. Any word on if the Falcons are looking to pick up a key player or two?

[tony]

6 years $38 million for Schaub.. I guess he is going to be starting. Texans do play the Falcons this year, that will be an interesting game.

[Kelly]

Why haven www.atlantafalcons.com still not "officially" reported it then?

[tony]

The trade was pending on Schaub working a deal with the Texans, obviously they have worked a deal now and it should become official.

[Kelly]

Well that sucks...

[PhAtBoYMr2]

haha texans will still be trash Bad move on shaubs part

Falcons will make the playoffs this year...anyone wanna put money on it?

[tony]

Well heres the thing, if Schaub stuck around another year we would lose him anyway and get nothing. They are not going to get rid of Vick with such a big contract. Schaub said himself that he wants to be the #1 quarterback and if that did not happen here he would go elsewhere.

And I correct myself, his contract is 6 years $48 million not $38 million.

Hell Yeah We Will!!! We may not see eye to eye on anything else but I'm totally with ya on this one...

Yeah, you're probably right. But it still sucks to see him go.

I think Petrino has a lot of faith in Vick. As do I. We'll see...

Agreed!! Besides, after seeing DJ Shockley in the preseason games, he can hold his own. I think the team will be just fine with Schaub. However, it saddens me to see this move because that means the team is standing behind Vick, and I feel vick just brings the team down on many level, attitude being a major one.
