I'm not downplaying Rosenfels. I'm being realistic. He's just not that good. I think he'll do OK, playing the same kind of game as Gus. But seriously, Rosenfels isn't that good.

Sage is capable of carrying a team here and there for a game, Ferotte nor Jackson couldn't.

Lets not kid ourselves here, they will still be a run first club, but Sage gives them the ability to make the defense at least respect the pass and he has just enough mobility to force them to respect the pass rush lanes.

He isn't in the same class as Rodgers for instance.. but this is a respectable move.

For a 4th, to get a potential starting QB.. I think it speaks value. This is a team that is geared to win now.. Pat Williams, Birk, Hutch are all in that peak window or it is beginning to close... they needed to solve the QB issue.. this is a legitimate step towards that front.

I really wish I could share your positivity for Sage, my friend. But I can't. Not until I see him play a few games, anyway.

If you ask me, he's a younger Frerotte. Which may not be a bad thing.. but at the same time, isn't a good thing.

I hate that people keep saying that the Vikings just need a serviceable QB. I disagree. They need a QB that can take the game over when needed. Because, lets face it, as much as Adrian wants and is able to take a game over, he's also the ONLY player that can/will/has done it, thus allowing defenses to key on him and only him. The Vikings need a QB that can move around a bit, is ACCURATE, and can hit the fade routes without having the WR slow down to get the rock.

Is that Sage? I have no idea, but from the sounds of it, it isn't.

Anyway, just my two cents.

Personally, I hope they are "standing pat" with this acquisition. I really don't have anything negative to say about Sage Rosenfels, but at the same time he isn't exactly striking fear into the rest of the NFL. If I were the running the Vikings, I'd be thinking of him as a "fallback position" in the event I wasn't able to acquire a franchise-type quarterback. I reckon they could use a wide receiver or two, but you would think that the first, middle and last priority of that team would be getting a real difference maker at QB. They got him for essentially back-up $$$, and back-up compensation draft-pick-wise, so I'm not going to be surprised if that's how he winds up...a back-up QB.


If Sage is the key component of the Vikes master plan...

That spells relief to Packer fans, imo.

I say he probably is not.

Just to strike a little more worry into you cheesehead Packer backers, the Vikings were apparently looking to trade for Cutler, since he and the Broncos are 'supposedly' fighting. lol

Cutler, YES.

Sage, NO.
