Afterall how much more experience did Schaub have back then than Yates has now ? He certainly had no PO experience.
But I do agree with your thought that a player-for-player proposition maybe being more appealing to the Texans if it's somebody they like at a real need
position.

Keith already hit on it. Teams trade for QBs in the offseason. Schaub was worth that to us when we chose him as our Plan A. Teams don't panic trade picks for QBs that don't know their system on the eve of the regular season. We MAY have gotten a 3rd for Yates in the offseason, but not right now.

Not to mention, why would we trade a guy who may help us a little this year for a pick that definitely won't help us this year, when we could use Yates all season and trade him for the same pick then?
