I guess both and many other QB's were turnover machines against Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Minnesota, Titans this past year.
Just to show how stats can be used, both Sage and Schaub had 10 interceptions, Schaub had 23 sacks and several of those had fumbles, team lost 12 of 28 fumbles. Rosenfelds only had nine sacks which included fumbles.
So, looks like Schaub had more than double losses than Rosenfelds over all, of course he played more, but also against some lesser opponenets. Then Sage rushes for 3.4 yds/att and Schaub for 2.2 per attempt.
And for passing , Rosenfels gets 8.2 per attempt compared to 8.0 per attempt for Schaub. Seems to me Rosenfels is nearly a starter, not really a backup. Perhaps the Rosencopter incident taught him a little on ball control. As some have pointed out, offensive line and recivers effect turnovers as well.
Then there is injuries, how many times has Rosenfels missed a game due to injury, likely many less than Schaub which ought to be worth some skill or luck or smarts or odds points somehow.
So, right now, I'd vote to keep Sage unless it is like a second round pick. And its offseason so gotta discuss something.
