Raiders Targeting Schaub? [YES]

Warren Moon, Dan Pastorini, and George Blanda would be the incumbents. Who would knock off Schaub?

How about Jim Kelly? Of course you'd have to include the Houston Gamblers in this discussion.

Good one. I was going to go with Steve McNair.

Yeah, I said NFL, so no to Jim Kelly... and Steve McNair played just two seasons with the HOUSTON Oilers. He didn't become the full-time starter until the season in 1997 season in Memphis as a member of the TENNESSEE Oilers.

I mention this Mount Rushmore thing only because it seems pretty easy to dismiss what Schaub meant to this franchise and the city. Just a bummer in retrospect that his best chance to bring home some hardware was cut short by injury in 2011.

Interesting that 3 of the 4 (Blanda, Pastorini, Schaub) went on to become Oakland Raiders. Moon was the only one who didn't....

What the hell, as long as you are reaching why not include Andrew Luck who played his scholastic ball at Stratford in Houston.

I just hope the Texans absolutely PROHIBIT the next Franchise QB from wearing #8. Put #8 on mothballs for at least the next 20 years.
