you explained it perfectly in your post. Every loss is to a 10+ win team. We generally lose to those teams anyways. almost all of the teams he beat are average or bad. Again, generally how we play with Schaub. So by your own stats we don't face a big let down when Sage comes on the field.
I think Sage is nowhere near Schaub as a QB, and I think the more he plays the more his returns diminish because he takes so many chances that the more a team prepares for him the more they will take advantage of him. This is what makes him a bad full-time starter. But as a last minute spot starter, or reliever, there are almost no backups I'd rather have. He will move the ball and give us a chance to win. If you guys think any old scrap heap vet accomplishes the same, we will simply have to disagree. Especially since he is 4 years in the offense.
But the bottom line is if there are so many equal or greater backup QBs in the NFL, then why would any team oblige you in your trade scenario and give up a pick for him? Why not just sign Jeff Garcia or someone else. Your argument is flawed if you say on the one hand we can get a pick for him, and on the other he is instantly replaced with no effort.
