The Houston Texans acquired QB Matt Schaub and the #10 pick in the first round of this year’s draft and traded their #8 pick in the first round plus their 2nd round picks in both 2007+2008 to the Atlanta Falcons.  This ended David Carr’s career in Houston as the Texans decided to go in a different direction at the QB position.  Schaub is an unproven player at the NFL level so the Texans are taking a big chance on Schaub because he didn’t come cheaply.  In 2006 Schaub only threw 27 passes and he completed 18 of them (66.7%) for 208 yards with 1 TD pass and 2 interceptions (QB Rating 71.2).  He also carried the ball 7 times for 21 yards (3.0 ypc).  Over Schaub’s career he has completed 84 of 161 passes (52.2%) for 1,033 yards with 6 TD passes and 6 interceptions (69.2 QB Rating).  He also has carried the football 24 times for 123 yards (5.1 ypc).  Schaub definately has the talent to be a starting QB in the NFL, but will he be a good one?  One time will tell.  The Texans better hope he is because they paid a large price for him.
