no way...

seriously?

I think it's hilarious they just keep getting mediocre QBs that aren't worthy of starting in the NFL.

I really wouldn't say Sage is a mediocre qb, he put up decent numbers when he did play for a team that didn't have alot to work with. To get your starting qb for a 4th rounder is a steal i think. You do have to admit it is an upgrade from what they do have , and also they just need a game manager so we will see.

I agree. He isn't great, but it's great value for a fourth and it makes the team alot more dangerous.

He's 30 years old though, so maybe it's just a quick fix. I asume they're grooming Booty right now and didn't feel he was ready.

Sage is an excellent fit for the Vikings.. you don't want some ego filled QB to walk into that team that should be a run first team. You want a guy that has plenty of talent, with something to prove and his smart.

He fits that bill.. for a fourth rounder to take over the starting spot.. that is a decent pickup.

He can help groom TJack, Booty or this years draft pick at QB..

I think this a better move than McNabb hands down.. McNabb would be instant drama.. as would Fa... hmmm any other QB the brought in.

The only other QB's that made sense were Derek Anderson or Cassell, both are going to be far more expensive in salary and compensation than this move.. and I don't believe either would bring that much more to the table.

With my Green and Gold glasses on.. I hate this move. :lol:

Sage is a Viking 

Could have been worse. I had nightmares about Cassell or Warner ending up in purple.

As much as I hate them, I have to admit they'd be near unstoppable with a good quarterback.

There's an article in the NFC North section about this.

Have to admit that the section is more hidden than before though.

Sage isn't as bad as Jackson and he's better than Frerotte (sp?)... but Sage is... not very good. I can't believe the way the Vikings keep on handing out draft picks like they're nightclub flyers.

Let's not downplay Rosenfels. After all, I recall at least some thoughts on trading for Rosenfels ourselves prior to the beginning of the season as veteran backup.
