Texans say Schaub is going to be our guy

The Texans are really close to ushering in a new era
at quarterback.

After spending part of the day negoiating a contract
with Falcons backup Matt Schaub,
Texans General Manager Rick Smith told 11 news,
"The kid is going to be our guy."



According to reports the Texans and the Falcons will
swap first round picks. Houston will slide back to 10, while
Atlanta will move up to number 8.
The Falcons would also recieve a second round pick
this season and next .

Rick Smith added , a contract with Schaub still needs
to be finalized and cleared by the league before the deal
is completed .

Schaub arrived in Houston Wednesday afternoon
and will meet with team doctors early Thursday morning
for a physical exam .

Schaub is only 25 years old, and according to
N.F.L. experts has plenty of upside . So this will probably
end the David Carr era in Houston.

But don't expect the Texans to get more than
a 3rd or 4th round draft pick in any trade involving
Carr.

Schaub, a 3 year veteran has only started 2 games in the N.F.L.,
but many people thought he had the skills to replace Michael Vick
last season when Vick struggled.

Look for the deal to become offical sometime on Thursday morning.
