ATLANTA In a move that figures to have significant ramifications for the incumbent starters from both teams, the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday agreed to in principle to trade three-year veteran quarterback Matt Schaub to the Houston Texans.

Wow,I guess Petrino feels Vick can become the kind of passer that Petrino uses in his offense...or he's gonna draft Brian Brohm in the first riund next year.

Houston fans are already wanting Charlie Casserly back.

Say hello to Oakland Mr. Carr.

is it just me or does that seem like a pretty high price for schaub?

[ATLien]

It does seem awfully high. It might work out, but lot of risk taking for Houston. I was expecting Atlanta to ship off Schaub to a team like Cleveland or Minnesota for a 2nd rounder, and that's it. But they were able to get that, move up 2 spots in the first round, and get another 2nd rounder for next year.

i agree, but Schaub was a hot commidity last year too!

The Falcons just traded their best QB.

As far as Carr in Oakland he'll be going from a horrible O-Line to a completely f'ed O-Line. Dude can't catch a break.

At least he will be home and closer to his old college coach to vent his frustrations!!!! I still believe that Carr has potential. He just needs to get into a winning environment and gain some confidence back. When you are playing on a crappy team yearly, it takes a toll on you!!

Like all successful QB's Carr just needs an o-line and a running game. The Texans are idiots too for making him the scapegoat and giving Schaub more money (with no protection up front). Good thing for Schaub it's natural grass in Houston.

Softer landings for his buttock!!! I totally agree with you!!! They have been trying to make Carr the scapegoat for a couple of years now!

[777rak]

Well the Texans just released David Carr.

[brewersfan19]

He will find a job and quickly!!! No one wanted to give up anything when they all knew the Texans were going to say good-bye to Carr anyways!! He is still young and has talent. I bet he ends up in Green Bay. That is my guess. I heard they were trying to trade Rogers to Oakland. Favre needs a back-up for next year and an heir apparent to his reign in Green Bay! Hell, as a Steeler's fan, I would take him in Pittsburgh as a back-up to Big Ben and Charlie Batch!!
