If acquiring Schaub instills confidence, then I am very worried for you...

Texas's loss is another man's gain...

I think this will turn out to be the move of the offseason. Good for the Raiders.

I'd like to say this could be a good move for the Raiders but its the Raiders. I'll believe it when I see it. And when I see it, I'll make sure I'm not drunk or dreaming.

jury is still out for me on this. im not so ready to close the book on pryor just yet. not much of a running game, bad oline, mediocre receivers. best offensive player on team is often injured or ineffective. little time to throw...im not sure what qb in league u put back on last years team and have consistent success. you start to improve the team and give up on him.. maybe hes not guy of future...don't think hes been given fair shake at it yet

At least Pryor can run some. Schaub will be a sitting duck back there. I think it impedes on Pryors learning curve too (if that's who the Raiders were going to go with). Schaub isn't horrible, but he's not that great either. The upside for this signing isn't very high.

For a 6th rounder, it's a very good deal, and I hope it doesn't close the book on Pryor, I can see them coexisting, but we shall see. Not much downside at this point, and it leaves us with options I like at #5.

Alright I will give you that... Not really any downside to it, so smart. As long as nobody thinks Matt "Free-Hand" Schaubs is their savior...

Indeed. He's probably better than Pryor, but he's hardly a franchise QB.

A couple of my friends are big Raider fans and they are not very excited about Schaub. A 6th round pick isn't a major investment for a stop gap. This might just be an Alex Smith type pickup if Schaub can cut out the turnovers. Don't know what happened to Schaub last year, must have just lost confidence. One of my friends claims he knows someone in the organization and has heard Pryor doesn't have it mentally. Claims he can't even call the plays in the huddle.

Hey, they have to get to the league minimum cap number somehow. win-win for both teams. I'd hate it if they were tight to the cap, and even paying a sixth is a bit much considering they could have bid for him for nothing after the Texans released him.

This kid's agent needs to step up and chat with his young client,
He wouldn't get any other starting job, plus by having a real veteran there could possibly help him understand the game alot better, plus he's acting like Matt is gonna be the long term answer, not even ....

Exactly, that's why this isn't really that stupid a move, assuming they can either draft someone in the mid rounds to sit behind him for a year if they really think Pryor hasn't got it.

Mettenberger is a possibility.
