Sage being dealt to Vikings(Deal done announcement Friday)

The Rosenfumble replays will be much more palatable--even entertaining--to watch now that he's wearing a different uniform.

All the best to Sage. Nice guy and all, and I realize you gotta have a good backup QB and he was decent, but I'm not going to miss him.

 

A 4th rounder for Sage is very good value, especially considering how he played last season. As for our backup, I wouldn't be suprised if the Texans bring in a vet as well as spend the extra pick on drafting a QB. Schaub has yet to show that he can stay on the field for an entire season, a backup QB is now one of our more dire needs this offseason.

 

watch him be the next brad lidge. I don't get the NFL I think Marshall faulk went for a 2 or a 3.

 

Agreed. Randy Moss went for a 4 and an unproven commodity at the time like Schaub goes for 2 2nd's and a swap of 1st rounders.

 

Moss was coming off a terrible season in Oakland and was a cancer in that lockerroom. It was as much about Oakland getting rid of him as getting something in return. Plus I think he had some say in where he was getting traded to, so Oakland may not have taken the best deal.

I personally think we gave up way too much for Schaub, but if he's potentially your franchise quarterback then it's somewhat understandable. NE franchised Cassel knowing they already have the best QB on the planet because they know they can get a huge package for Cassel. He showed people he can be a franchise quarterback. Call 'em crazy for paying their backup $15mil a year but that's the value of a tradable, young franchise QB.

 

I think getting a 4th rounder for Sage is a decent save by the front office. I agreed with holding out for a 2nd last year as were still pretty unsure about Schaub. However, this is the last year of his contract, and I don't see any reason to re-sign him after this season. Trading him now allows us to draft a middle-round QB to groom in case the Schaub experiment goes array this year.

 

For sure. I think the Lions strike out too much.

 

Fun facts:

11 - number of games Matt Schaub started in 2008

11 - number of games Matt Schaub started in 2007

How about Jeff Garcia as a backup. Didn't the Buc's say he's not coming back. I know he's old but he could still back up Shaub.

 

Playing behind Matt may be his best chance at getting a starting job. I hope I'm wrong but Shaub doesn't seem to have the best luck.

 

thanks, most of us realize that.

I don't think you can really label him 'injury prone' just yet, though.

 

Good trade. Now draft Pat White to back up Schaub.

 

Ooo and then.. trade for Owen Schmitt from Seattle, and then you'd have the entire 2007 WV backfield.

 

it's sarcasm. gotta be.

 

he's gonna have an easy job, 1st and 2nd down, just hand the ball over. sometimes a playfake and throw it down field.

i mean, they got some rbs.

 

Bob Allen just said the Texans are not happy with Jacoby Jones and are looking to shop him

 

I just saw it on the local MN news the report that the Vikes are in talks with the Texans for Rosenthals. Apparently the Vikes current GM was the GM when Rosenthals was playing for Miami. The Vikes are also looking at Jeff Garcia though if the Rosenthals deal falls through.

 

Man, that's not even funny. If you're gonna butcher his name, you gotta do it in reference to his playmaking ability (Rosenfumble) or his overall job performance (Rosenfails). Rosenthals just doesn't make any sense.
