FA QB Saviors? Schaub Vs Sanchez

According to a report by Paul Guiterrez (@PGutierrezESPN) of ESPN, Oakland's top two quarterback targets are Mark Sanchez and Matt Schaub. As of his article, and this writing, both playersare yet to become free agents, although the proverbial writing is on the wall. Let me go on record by stating that every free agent QB out there scares me in some way when it comes to the Raiders hitching up their wagon for the long-haul. Unfortunately, the draft is just as much a crapshoot this year, and when you're as bad as the Raiders have been recently, the question "Is this guy better than what you got?" has to be asked. With both of these players, the answer might just be yes, at least for 2014. With that said, let's break these players down head to head.

Personally, give me a 5th overall QB, and maybe see if TP2 or Matt McGloin's hard work ethic leads to even better play this off-season. As for the Schaub v Sanchez. Not even close. I'll take Matt Schaub to keep our rookie QB's seat warm, knowing that it can never be worse than he who shall not be named (used to wear #2).
