Quote:I just can't agree with that. He has no trade value, and wouldn't have any even if his contract were favorable.

 

He can't win games, that's the basic problem. He's not a young lion that will come in and push when he gets a chance, he's a veteran who has shown what he is, a game manager that crumbles when the pressure increases.

 

He might be marginally better than Henne or Gabbert, but if he were playing for the Jaguars you likely wouldn't be able to tell who was playing out of the three if their jerseys were blank.

 

  If the Seahawks,   49ers,   Bengals,   and/  or Broncos lost their starting QB's for an extended period of time,    I probably would go with Matt Schaub in all 4 cases, compared to what's current on the 4 rosters.    Providing Schaub had enough time to get the system down and work with the team's skill players.          In part because Schaub has been on the winning end of many games in recent seasons,   including 2 playoff wins over the Bengals.    

 

  A change of scenery is probably in the best interest of Schaub and the Texans.       He wouldn't be someone I would wanting starting moving forward.     However,   many teams could do noticeably worse in terms of a # 2 QB.     Schaub performed well enough in the # 2 QB role in Atlanta earlier in his career that led the Texans to trade two 2nd round picks for him.
