- - Schuab for a 2nd? (https://blackandgold.com/saints/11468-schuab-2nd.html)

Hey mjf, back to your point about trading with divisional teams....didn't we let Delhomme go to a divisional team? I dunno man.....like you said....higly unlikely but I think its worth a shot and I'm sure Schaub would lick his chops for a chance to start. And I think he would excel here in NO.
May the gods of trading and FA hook us up BIIIG TIIIME!!!!!

That's a good point, but the difference is that we did not willingly let Delhomme go to the Panthers, he was able to choose where he went because he was a FA. With Schaub and the Falcons it's different because they can choose where he goes because they get to approve the trade. Another big difference is that our personel department didn't know what we had in Delhomme, and the Falcons know exactly what they have in Schaub.

We would then be able to draft A.J. Hawk with the first round pick, and still have a second round pick from the Falcons, plus two third round picks, and possibly an extra first or second for next year.

But I still don't think they are in the market to trade Schaub.

I was with you, until I saw trade Schaub for our second round pick. No way IMO. You are trading a late first(practically) for Schaub, in the hopes of being able to shop our first for more picks. I don't like that. The way I have it, we either have an extra second already for Schaub(trading LeCharles elsewhere), or we get the Faclons second plus Schaub for ours. In either of those scenarios, we are GUARANTEED to have another pick and Schaub. In yoru scenario, which isn't bad, it just leaves us HOPING, we get extra picks. I like the sure thing.

I say we give up all our picks to Houston for Bush!! C'mon we did it for Ricky!! (Please do not terminate my membership in this forum...this is a joke. I REPEAT this is only a joke...lol)

Why not let the cousins play together.... trade Brooks straight up for Schaub.

Haha good idea. That would be a very atheltic QB combo, although their passing would leave something to be desired.

Nah... we are already getting somebody his name is Matt Leinart..........

Why am I not sold on Leinart? Something tells me that he just won't cut it in this league. Anyone else share this feeling of impending doom when it comes to Leinart?

Leinart is the wrong answer to turn the francise around... trade down and get better value.

Actually, out of Leinart and Young, according to analyst, Leinart has a better chance of succeeding in the NFL, because Young will have more to work on to become a NFL caliber QB. But save the Leinart-Young debate for another post because their are plenty of them already in this forum.

The reason I would make this trade over simply draft Leinart is because Schaub is a proven commodity.
