Matt Schaub has brought veteran leadership to the Falcons’ locker room, as we’ve repeatedly been told, and a strong grasp of Kyle Shanahan and Steve Sarkisian’s offenses. He’s a coach holding a clipboard but ready to get into the game if something should happen to Matt Ryan, and perhaps it’s no coincidence that Schaub’s time in Atlanta has directly coincided with two of the best years of #2’s career.
When I put it that way, the case for re-signing Schaub seems evident, and then it’s not a surprise that Dan Quinn indicated at least a casual level of interest in doing just that on Friday.
