Recently, the Falcons have said that Vick is their starter and will remain so... now there are some rumors that backup QB - Matt Schaub - may want something more.

The Packers have some room to spend on the future. Maybe that means ditching Rodgers and grabbing Schaub?

Pure speculation but I like Schaub over Rodgers.

Who would mind stealing another starting QB from the Falcons? 8)

True. But he's likely better than Rodgers. I wouldn't give up a 1st round pick or anything crazy like Wolf did... but it's something to consider.

If I'm not mistaken, Schaub is a RFA and substantially older than Rodgers. I wouldn't want to give up any draft pick to get this guy, considering we already have Rodgers, who hasn't gotten a chance to prove himself yet. Why are all you guys so down on Rodgers?

he is a RFA

and atlanta would be insane not to put the highest tag on him, they know theres a massive demand for him

that means we would have to give up a 1st and a 3rd for him. and he will be starting day 1 with any new team for that price. in green bay he would be on the bench for at least another year

i don't think theres anyway what-so-ever we go after him

I think, since Favre, we're on the Falcon's blocked call list. :D

How old is Schaub?


from Yahoo Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6849):

Matt Schaub #8 | Quarterback | Atlanta Falcons Height: 6-5 Weight: 237
Born: Jun 25, 1981 - Pittsburgh, PA
College: Virginia
Draft: 2004 - 3rd round (27th pick) by the Atlanta Falcons


Schaub will be 26 this summer and is going into his 4th season. That's still a young pup for a Quarterback.

I agree with red ... Schaub's young enough and a hot enough commodity that some team will want to make him a starter on day 1. We won't have a chance to snag him for a backup/successor role.
