I think you're right, especially considering that Kearny left via FA.

The Houston Texans made a bad move here. I'm sorry but David Carr is a good QB and should have been given a decent Oline and a RB before they moved on from him. I don't think they have upgraded the QB position at all and have traded away to much to get Schaub. An unproven winner in this league. I'm sorry but weren't the Falcons like 4-11 when Vick went down with injury a few years back. Wasn't it Matt Schaub the QB when Patrick Ramsey made a great comeback against the falcons when we were down like 3 touchdowns at one point.

Nice to see someone else making bad trades other than us this year. I mean come on 2 2nd round picks and a move up two spots in the first round for a guy who has done nothing. People are hyped up on this guy and they have been for awhile. Big mistake.

Good Job Texans.

So, there is a Front Office worse then our's. First Mario Williams, now you give up way too much (a 1st and two 2nd rounders) only to downgrade the QB position.
I'm sorry but I am not convinced that Schaub is better than Carr...how about using those draft picks to trade for an offensive line.

The comments regarding the Texans' offensive line are spot-on. Shaub will be come "One with the Turf" if they don't get that front five fixed.

their front office is a mess. last season they could have taken home grown vince young. then they sign carr to an extension. now, instead of waiting on draft day, and hoping quinn falls to them, they give away alot for shaub? he hasnt proven anything so far. and statistically last season carr was pretty good. their o line was downright horrible.

6 year, $48 million deal for Schaub, $7 million guaranteed

That is riducules. I hope the kid plays well. He's going to have a lot of pressure on him. The Houston fans have got to be growing impatient.

When I think of the dumbest organizations in the NFL, the top three that come to mind are Oakland, Washington, and Dallas, but I think the Texans are very close to the top spot with continually retarded moves like this.

Why would Dallas be in your top three?

Anyone who would sign TO after the Philly debacle has to be close to the top, and Jerry Jones is still an idiot.

I don't know. Any owner who's able to amass three Lombardi trophies in his first seven years can't be that idiotic. Now, he lost a couple of notches when he dumped Jimmy Johnson, no doubt about that. And I think the jury is still out on the T.O. signing.

I'll admit the shine on Jones' armor has begun to fade and take a few dents. I just don't think he belongs in the bottom 3 of all general managers.

[Beemnseven]

Wow. So much for him.

Somebody will stil pounce on him though. My money's on Minnesota.

that move was really suprising to me. I know he was a hot comodity for some teams, but with Patrino I thought he would prefer a pure passer if Vick isn't working out. I just dont see Vick being able to run his offense. He needs to move around to get good passing lanes due to his size and Patrino's offense is more for a stand in the pocket QB. I thought Schaub would have given Vick a run for the starting job. Personally, I trade Vick while people in this league think he is a good/great QB. I think the Falcons will never win big with Vick. my opinion.

I kind of upset with this move only because of the skin intentions of moving to the texans position in the draft
