But why the Atlanta Falcons would pick up Matt Schaub’s option, makes little sense. In his emergency start for the Falcons last year, he played admirably against the Seattle Seahawks. Albeit, expectations were rather low.
The team was spiraling and had nothing to lose. But let’s face the reality of it, Matt Ryan at his age, seasons at his current production levels will not be obtainable for much longer. If he gives the Falcons at least three more competitive years, they should be grateful.
Bringing back Schaub could turn out to be a mistake.
