Sage to the Vikings

ChampionTexan said:
Yep - Sage is a QB who will not embarrass his team, and can win at a clip better than 2-14 if forced to start or play. Those were the goals when we signed him, and he pretty much succeeded. Our goals are considerably higher at this point.

Y'all can make fun of him if you like, but something tells me you'll miss him at some point next year. Probably, after we play against Fat Albert.
 
It would be interesting if someone would compare what was available last year when Minnesota's 3rd round was selected and what might be available at the 4th round selection this draft.

Sage embarrassed himself, but nobody accused the offense under his direction of not looking like an NFL unit. Even in the ill-fated Colts game.

On the other hand, there are QB's in the league (including one who's started games for us) who are capable of making the entire offense look like it's a mediocre High School unit.

We could make everyone in West Virginia cream their pants by drafting Pat White.

Bob McNair should really look into that, it would definitely bring a larger fanbase outside the city of Houston.

God, you have no idea how much I would love that.

My grandpa and grandma are from West Virginia and my Uncle is a big fan of WVU.

They're one of the teams that I will always root for.

Sage was here for one season under David Carr. Why we didn't start him over David still amazes me, especially considering the near comeback at Tennessee.
I call that the Kubiak $1200 mistake. Why? Because that decision cost me $1200....the price of my season tickets.

Sage got injured making a tackle on special teams or he almost undoubtedly would have been starting in the latter quarter of the season.

Yeah right I almost forgot. He was holder and made the tackle on a missed FG return breaking his wrist or something.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Sage. Before the Indy game I had some confidence in him, after he was on my sh!t list. If we can get an extra pick, and a fourth rounder at that, then hell yeah. There are a few QBs that have been mentioned in this thread that I think can do the job. This is a good thing and I'm glad its happening, at least it looks like it. :jam: :cool:

I was wondering if I was the only one thinking that this is Sage's "reward" for costing us a win against the Colts. I think he "tore his drawers" with Bob McNair that very day (wore out his welcome for those not fluent in Ebonics).

the other half of that decision is that Kubiak got the job (or so a lot of us believe) because he convinced Bob McNair he could make HWWNBN a stud NFL QB. By the time Kubiak realized he could make chicken salad from.... we were into Nov/Dec.

but lets not go into that again.

I've heard media guys and such say that Sage was clearly better in camp . It's good when the owner and GM have your back .

I went to the open camp sessions. I don't recall seeing that Sage was "clearly better" that Schaub this past camp.

Anyone else remember that?

god no

i bet you SM won't even be drafted this year.

he just isn't a 3rd rounder, nor a 4th rounder.
Click to expand...

it's crazy that McGee is even in the discussion but he measures up to the other guys athletically and can read a defense even though A&M didn't ask him to do much of that while in College Station and at times the guy looked completely lost...but he is a prospect. He has the tools and with better coaching could develop. He was kind of a hothead at A&M but he did play hard and seemed like a tough SOB.

There are more than four rounds in the draft.

McGee will get drafted. If I had to guess, I would say 5th round.

He has the physical tools to be successful. If he learns how to make his reads then he could hang around the NFL for a few years as a solid backup QB.
 
I'm not sure we will draft a qb. If we do maybe it will be a late rounder.

Texans | Will sign quarterback in free agency
Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:24:06 -0800

John McClain, of the Houston Chronicle, reports the Houston Texans will sign a veteran quarterback during free agency.

You ever watch the guy fall down? He looks like a sack of potatoes.

There is a reason he has a bullseye painted on his chin.

Good. That's what we should do.

If they want to draft a guy late then fine, but I still think we should bring in a vet to be the backup.
Click to expand...

I agree, and then if they have someone they want to draft late, or sign as an UDFA, that guy and Brink can battle it out for a practice squad slot.
 
Damon Huard was cut by the Chiefs today. He has had plenty of starting experience the last 3 years. Just another veteran name that is out there right now.

Huard, who started 21 total games the last three seasons, was deemed expendable after rookie Tyler Thigpen’s emergence in 2008. Huard’s best season in Kansas City came in 2006, when he threw 11 touchdown passes and only one interception in 10 games, eight of them starts.

To add on to the kffl report, McClain gave some names of which FA QBs the Texans could be interested in.

Of the quarterbacks who are expected to become free agents on Friday, the Texans could be interested in Detroit’s Dan Orlovsky, Chicago’s Rex Grossman, Cincinnati’s Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tampa Bay’s Jeff Garcia and Denver’s Patrick Ramsey.

I'm not lending too much creedence into what McClain is saying right now. The list of QB's seems like he's just spitballing, and I doubt the Texans are going to give away draft plans to McClain.

I think the odds of us signing a FA, drafting a FA, or signing and drafting a FA are all equal.

EDIT: Also, I think the possibility is that a lot of FA QB's are going to look to Houston because we have a high powered offense with a "fragile" QB at the helm.

And lets face it, who wouldn't want to throw it to AJ in practice?
 
Mmmmm. Eh, I think Dan-O would be worth a look. Would be super cheap, young enough to mold as well.

Wow, none of those guys are too exciting. Garcia would be nice, but as Gary said, he wants to be a starter.

My favorite NFL films clip ever is Jeff on the 49ers siedline mid game patroling the sidelines asking his teamates "you got any gum? do you have any gum? got any gum?.................what? no one on this team wants fresh breath?"

love it...
 
with the names thrown around, I don't know

What I do know is almost everyone went "sage?" when he was signed.


Sage was what he was. so we get a 4th out of him. time will tell
 
I think it will probably come down to Simms or Garcia, but Huard may affect that. Simms has some inside push, so he may have the inside track.

Besides those mention the other FA QB's are:

Byron Leftwich
JP Losman
Kerry Collins
Kurt Warner

I am missing a couple others. I don't see Collins or Warner's teams letting them get away.

Here's the complete list at least according to the link at the bottom:

Kurt Warner, UFA, Arizona Cardinals
The former MVP and Super Bowl winner has had a resurgent season in Arizona and has his team past the first round of the playoffs. He racked up 4,583 passing yards, his second highest career total for a season, and threw for 30 touchdowns and only 14 interceptions. Also, his passer rating of 96.9 was his best since the '01 season. Warner has not wanted his contract status to be a distraction, but he will be looking for an extension from the team once the season comes to an end. Warner could find another team willing to name him the starter if the Cardinals want to let Matt Leinart take over.

Kerry Collins, UFA, Tennessee Titans
Collins may have recently turned thirty-six, but he helped lead the Titans to the best record in the NFL at 13-3 when the Vince Young situation threatened to put a damper on the entire season. Instead, Collins stepped in and managed the offense well. He may not have looked like the quarterback he was when he led the New York Giants to a Super Bowl appearance early on this decade, but he did prove that he was capable of winning games and protecting the ball enough to allow his offense to run fairly smoothly. He may not have a lot left after this season and a potential Super Bowl run, but he may still be of interest to some teams looking for a steady game manager or an experienced backup for insurance purposes. The Titans may be looking to move forward with Vince Young, but Collins knows the system and could be offered a new contract to keep his services around.

Jeff Garcia, UFA, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Garcia could retire given that he is nearing forty years of age, but many probably expected that he would have hung up his cleats before the just completed season. The veteran just keeps going and going and has kept the Buccaneers competitive. Last season the veteran passer threw for over 2,400 yards and 13 touchdowns in 13 games. This season, in twelve games, he passed for over 2,700 yards and had 12 touchdowns tosses to just six interceptions. He can still manage a game and make things happen often enough to keep defenses honest. He may be asked to stick around somewhere in the league for another season.

Rex Grossman, UFA, Chicago Bears
With all of the criticism that Grossman has had to face, he did lead a Bears team that reached a Super Bowl in ’06. During that season he threw for over 3,100 yards and 23 touchdowns; however, he also turned the ball over 25 times. Grossman lost his starting role to Kyle Orton this season and threw just 62 passes, completing only 32 and having a pair of touchdowns and picks. Grossman may wind up being a career backup.

Kyle Boller, UFA, Baltimore Ravens
Boller has never lived up to the hype that came with him and he was placed on the injured reserve this season. In five seasons of earning sporadic playing time, Boller has thrown more touchdowns than picks just twice. The presence and early success of Joe Flacco guarantee that Boller will be gone after the season, and it is hard to imagine that he’ll be given a shot at starting anywhere. Like Grossman, he seems destined to be a career backup.

Matt Cassel, UFA, New England Patriots
Cassel will be franchised, thus ending his chance to hit the market.

Other Quarterbacks
Charlie Batch, UFA, Pittsburgh Steelers
David Carr, UFA, N.Y. Giants
Ryan Fitzpatrick, UFA, Cincinnati Bengals
Byron Leftwich, UFA, Pittsburgh Steelers
J.P. Losman, UFA, Buffalo Bills
Luke McCown, UFA, Tampa Bay Bucs
Dan Orlovsky, UFA, Detroit
J.T. O'Sullivan San Francisco 49ers
Patrick Ramsey, UFA, Denver Broncos

I don't see Simms on the list.

I am starting to get the feeling it's Rex Grossman.
