Is Matt Schuab ready to be a number one QB?

[G-String 0]

My 2 keepers are Andre/Turner. QB's available will be Rodgers/Rivers/Romo and McNabb. I don't consider McNabb elite. I don't pick until 8th in a ten man draft. QB scoring is 5pts for 300 yard game/6pts for TD's. With the value of the QB in my league and the injury history of Schuab what are your thoughts

I think that Schaub is ready to be an elite QB. I like him this season, although having a decent backup is probably a good idea if you draft him. Not because Schaub doesnt produce against tough defenses, but because of his injury history.

I think Schaub has that potential if he can quit getting injured.

 

right now I rank him slightly lower than McNabb in keeper leagues, but feel that their value is somewhat comparable overall. They both have injury problems, but McNabb threw for 3900 yards last year. (his best total ever) and I think his receivers this year will be better than last year.

 

Schaub's best season was slightly over 3000 yards (last year)

 

I acknowledge he missed 5 games and could have done 4000 yards too (if healthy). but my issue with him is that he has missed 10 games over his first 2 years as a starter. This makes him (to a degree) a high risk, high reward player.

 

I like him a lot. but If I were you, I'd stick with McNabb. At least he is 1 full season removed from his last injury.

I have thought that for two years now, and finished 5th both years because of his inability to stay on the field. I think I would gamble with him as my #1 again, but not a too high a price. No way you can draft him early and be confident.
