is everybody panicking after one game? I think we got to let things develop a little more for now.

Who's panicking?

RB, CB, LB, and DE were problems before our first game and will be problems afterward. Looking to address those problems isn't "panicking."

Yes, suggesting ways to strengthen the team with a quality player is certainly a sign of panic.

There's a reason Football Outsiders calls this week National Jump to Conclusions Week. After 8-9 months without a real game, its really easy to look at your team's week 1 as indicative of what season they're headed for. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. I think some of our weaknesses that were exploited this week will continue to be problems, but I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll end up exactly where I thought we would (7-9 win range).

I dunno, but after Schaubs performance Sunday do you guys really feel that comfortable about trading Sage away even though we might get a very appealing offer from another team ?

Yes. Sage is gone after this season. Might as well get something for him while we can. And if we decide that Matt's not the answer after the season, we can sign/draft someone to replace Sage.

i'm with nero....again....100%

get something while you can, i doubt sage will re-sign here unless he knows he isn't getting a chance to start anywhere.

My thought is this: if Schaub continues to struggle, or even plays just somewhat less than at our expectations, then bench him and play Sage. If Sage is superior, then
throw the bank at him and release Schaub.

Right now I think I prefer this approach.

I also think if we trade Sage and Schaub gets hurt, the season is definitely a total loss. Don't like that prospect either.

I don't either. I'm already sick of Schaub's "lack of toughness". He seems to get knocked around easily. The thing we could all agree about Carr was that the kid had balls and was tough as nails. I don't feel comfortable trading Schaubby's backup. Who's on the FA QB heap? Maybe we can trade Sage for a pick and pick someone up from there?
