Crazy Trav Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Coach Dan Quinn called free agent Matt Schaub "certainly somebody" the Falcons could sign.Cut by the Raiders two weeks ago, Schaub is a backup only. He was drafted by the Falcons and played for new OC Kyle Shanahan with the Texans. Schaub may not be much of an upgrade on current No. 2 T.J. Yates or Sean Renfree.Related: FalconsSource: ESPN.com Mar 27 - 11:03 AMPer rotoworld. Didn't see posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaFanatic Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Seems like a lateral move at the backup spot. Don't see the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Backing up Matt Ryan is the most boring position on the team.Yea I'd be more interested in us signing up a long-snapper.If MR gets hurt our season is toast regardless.

I guess it really doesn't matter who Ryan's backup is. He's not a guy who's gonna miss snaps and if he does, were doomed anyway.

How do you throw a pick 6 in 4 passes? Especially when your team was shutting the other team out all game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 LMAO at Schaub being a lateral move from Yates. I actually doubt Yates is much better than Renfree. Schaub is way better. Ryan, stay healthy my friend. Imagine T.J. for five or six games. Scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Would much rather we developed Renfree. Or, at least tried to develop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 How could he not be an upgrade over Yates? Yates was terrible last year.Yates was learning the Koetter system. He knows Shanahan's system, and won a playoff game for the Texans using it when Schaub went out.I don't see much difference between the two. Either one as a clipboard holder is fine with me.

4dabirds Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Schaub is way better than Yates, and there is no question about it. If Schaub can be had for the same money that Yates is getting, then do it, cut Yates and develop Renfree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon Cooper Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Shaub has plenty of NFL snaps and success. For the vet min I would sign him and cut Yates in a second. I'm not sure where Renfree is. If Renfree surprises and beats out Yates its like, eh big deal. If he beat out Shaub I would feel good about carrying only two and having someone that could manage a few games until Ryan returned. Shaub gives me that confidence now. Yates does not. Renfree is unproven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
