Matt Schaub was a pain in the Vikings ass as a back-up for the Falcons in 2004-2005. In a preseason game in 2004, Scahub threw three touchdown passes in relief of [Michael Vick], leading the Falcons to a 27-24 victory. The rookie from Virginia completed 16 of 19 passes for 205 yards and no interceptions.

After replacing Vick midway through the second quarter, Schaub connected on his first pass, an 11-yard screen to Warrick Dunn. He fooled the defense with a pump fake on the next play and lofted a perfect pass to Michael Jenkins down the left sideline, and Jenkins sprinted into the end zone untouched for the 47-yard score.

Then again in 2005, Schaub spelled Vick and lead the Falcons to 30-10 ass whooping of the listless Vikings.

Message to Schaub: You back up Ron Mexico, you are Ron Mexico’s back up and you play better then he? Here have a beer…
