Quote:Blackmon and Cecil Shorts had that kind of production last year with Gabbert and Henne throwing to them and no Johnson to take all the coverages to his side.

 

What's your point?

 

Schaub was never good, that's why you guys were able to get in him trade. Teams don't trade great QBs.

 

Nice try.. 

 

The point was never that Blackmon or Cecil Shorts had or didn't have the kind of production of Walter..

 

The point was.. Walter (who's not even really in the league any more..) was able to have that kind of production despite playing (in your eyes) with a QB where he's was just a  3rd or 4th option since "all Schaub did was check down to RBs and TEs and throw to Andre"

 

.. if Blackmon or Shorts were the 3rd of 4th options and put up that kind of production you might have a argument.

 

Schaub was a good QB and there's a difference between was and never was.  Even on a chronic bad wheel though, he still never was as awful as Blame Gabbert who is a "never was".

 

 

Without diving deeper into the "Teams don't trade great QBs" comment.. Schaub wasn't great, but he wasn't trash either, and let's not pretend teams haven't traded "great QBs" before..  I can think of one who was traded from the very same team Schaub came from
