John David Booty isn't done yet

Posted by Mike Florio on October 27, 2009 8:34 PM ET

The quarterback with a name that makes us think he should instead be the defendant in a high-profile police investigation might not have to resort to a life of crime just yet.

John David Booty was the odd man out on the quarterback depth chart in Minnesota, thanks to the Second Annual Brett Favre Unretirement. Booty initially spent time on the Vikings' practice squad, before eventually being cut loose completely.

But he was back today, with a workout in Houston.

The Texans also brought in quarterback Bobby Reid, along with four receivers (Dallas Baker, Patrick Carter, Willie Reid, and Chris David) and two tight ends (Carson Butler and Dezmond Sherrod).

And another Tuesday of Gong Show tryouts goes by without receiver Matt Jones getting another job.

I had no idea that Booty had been cut by the Vikings! Where have I been the past few months?

Yup.. He was released completely from the practice squad to make room for a OL or something. He was put on the squad when Favre signed.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

If you cant beat out Sage Rosenfels and Tavarias Jackson or a practice squad O-lineman, it may be time to re-evaluate things

While there is merit in such a statement more times than not, I think one has to look a might bit deeper.

Sage wasn't going to get cut.. they just dealt a pick for him this offseason.. cutting him would be admitting a mistake that soon after making it.. few do. Anyway.. he is a solid "backup" QB.. not someone you want to hang your franchise upon, but has performed in spot duty in okay fashion.

TJ.. IMO, has more over potential athletically than Booty, albeit he might need a change in scenery or developmental coaching to ever realize that potential. The Viking OC and offensive staff don't speak developing QB's well.. so Booty and TJ were in the same boat there..

Judgment call.. Now, we have seen little to nothing from Booty in the Pros... so it might be a proper call for him to hang it up, hard to say with little to no evidence to base that upon.. unless your rail watching the Vikings daily..

I said re-evaluate things. I never said he should throw in his pads and apply to Walmart as a stock boy. Maybe he can go to nfl Europe or other leagues where he can get playing time because he is obviously not gonna get it in the NFL. Even if he gets picked up by a team now, it will be as a #3 qb. Has to learn a new system and show promise and hope for luck(qb's get injured). Then, he has to make the best of that one opportunity or he will be right back at square one if he sucks it up. Go somewhere and get some playing time.

If he goes to a crap team like the Lions or something, they will throw him in there to the wolves with crap o-line and no shot of succeeding, kind of like Daunte Cullpepper did for a few years with the Raiders, Dolphins and now the Lions. All three teams, at the time were the worst team in the NFL pretty much.

There is no NFL Europe anymore. Has been gone for ages.

But I get your point. Maybe try and work-out for a UFL team. Work your way up from there.

Pretty interesting to see that Matt Jones is still out there. He was actually looking pretty good in his last season in Jacksonville. I figured that someone would've looked past his character issues and sign the man.
