Buzz: Shaub a Jet?
Posted on October 31st, 2005 by Bassett
I am sorry that I had not seen this sooner on Matt Schaub being a Jet next year, but it is an interesting scenario…
I just wonder if Atlanta would be willing to give up on Schaub, since
their running back seems to get injured a few games a season…
Here's a quick look at Shaub's Numbers
YEAR G CMP ATT PCT YDS AVG TD LNG INT RAT
2004 6 33 70 47.1 330 4.7 1 59 4 42.0
2005 7 23 49 46.9 337 6.9 3 53 0 90.3

I don't think the Falcons will give up Schaub.
I still think perhaps the most sensible thing to do would be to go with Fiedler and/or Penny next year and draft a QB to develop in or around the 3rd round.
Not ideal, but can we guarantee that Schaub/Rivers/Ramsey/Simms/Harrington/whoever are any better than Fiedler or Penny will be anyway? I think not.
It's not a pretty situation, but that's probably our best bet (although I wouldn't at all be surprised if the Jets did try to make some kind of big splash and am just hoping they don't climb out of the frying pan and into the fire).
