The cuts, final roster, p-squad

It should also be noted that Schaub was a third-round pick of the Falcons while Yates was a 5th and Keenum was a UDFA. Therefore, one would have to believe that Schaub had more potential when he was traded to Houston than either of these two guys could produce (not that this is always a key factor).

Exactly. If I were a GM I'd trade a #2 or some combination of picks for Kirk Cousins based on his high-side potential (much like Schaub when he was young), but there's no way in God's creation I'd give up anything of high value for Yates, let alone Keenum. You trade for a QB based on starter potential, not backup potential. And so far, these two guys appear to be nothing more than a backup or short term stop-gap starter.

Keith initially posed a hypothetical question/speculation. In the world of hypothetical, anything goes - Yates and Keenum have starter potential ....

In reality, the Texans will probably keep all three QB's..

Well then, hypothetically, how about we trade Schaub for Luck?
