I don't remember ever reading about this. Interesting ... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap10...sued-matt-schaub-in-2006?campaign=Twitter_atl
It is always looks great in hindsight, but one has to consider that Shaub had 3 very mixed years in his start with Houston, when he had just as many haters as admirers. Would the Jets and their fans have been as patient waiting for him to develop into what he is now, as they've been waiting for the Sanchez ship to come in?
Abraham for Mangold was a good deal. You can't blame the Falcons for not wanting to trade a good back up QB for a pass rusher with attitude issues.
Schaub at QB We could have still had Mangold by trading up from our early 2nd rounder 2009 means we stay put and grab Percy Harvin and keep our 2nd for another piece Damn you Atlanta
And yet they traded their 1st round pick for that same player and a 1st rd pick >>> most back up QBs.
I don't understand how Mangini doesn't have a front office position somewhere. It baffles me Chargers wouldn't trade Turner for a 1st but let him walk in free agency.
A known quantity is greater than and unknown. He played in 4 games and must have looked good, especially if we wanted to make him our starter. Draft picks even in the first round are a gamble.
This. A.J. Smith rears his ugly head yet again. And honestly compared to what the return was on Schaub, they should've just gone ahead, kept their first rounder and taken the initial proposed deal. Not for nothing, but Schaub has 8 million weapons including the arguably the best back in the game. Put Sanchez on the Texans offense and I'm willing to bet he's just as successful.
after trading up in the draft, we also could have picked freeman instead of sanchez. who is running the front office/scouting/draft? ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution rests.
Whatever, Schaub or Turner would've been nice but I'd rather have Mangold than both of them. Also, I'm so sick of the media calling the Jets a "circus." It's only a circus because they made it into one.
