Houston Texans Ask Schaub for Help

So much for replacing Michael Vick as the starting QB in Atlanta eh?

Yep, former Atlanta Falcons backup QB Matt Schaub was traded to the Houston Texans. Which means the Texans have already given up on their very first pick back when the Texans was an expansion team, David Carr.

And yeah, Matt Schaub was immediately named the Houston Texas starting QB, giving him the opportunity to show the Falcons just what kind of player they decided to let go.

''Matt is our starting quarterback and we're trying to help David find another place,'' Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith said, referring to his former QB, David Carr. Carr has not been a success story in Houston, and after watching him get sack time and time again as the Texans' quarterback, THAT could very well be an understatement.

''We're trying to trade him in the next couple of days. We feel good about the prospects; David is obviously a talented football player and has value, and I think that value is recognized over the league. So I don't think we'll have a problem with that and I think he will be excited about a new opportunity, and we're hopeful that he will continue have an NFL career and be successful.''

Blah blah blah... Yep, what Mr. Smith is really saying is they're glad they finally got rid of this joke named David.

As for Matt Schaub? Of course, he's excited to be finally starting for an NFL Football team. I guess the Atlanta Falcons will stick with the inconsistent Michael Vick for the long haul now.

''I'm excited for this opportunity to be a part of this franchise and this football team, Matt Schaub said. ''I had the opportunity to share a round of golf with coach (Gary) Kubiak and we hit it off really well. I understand the offense a considerable amount and I've been able to run it now for six years so I'm excited to get in there and learn even more about football and about this system and about this team.''

The question is, can Matt LEARN how to win some football games for the Houston Texans?

Who will be the favorites to win Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona? Here are the odds from Bodog:
