Sage Rosenfels could be the answer

Sage Rosenfels according to 790am is in negotiations of a release with miami he would still have to clear waviers. If wavied would Tenn claim him to block the Texans?
 
Sage could be the answer to the following question:

Which QB is responsible for the single most embarrassing performance a Houston Texan has ever put on?
 
Sage is having a physical today with the Dolphins. If he passes the physical, the Dolphins are going to cut him. They aren't sure if Sage at that point would have to pass through waivers or if he would be allowed to sign with the team of his choosing.

Start SAGE!!!
 
I would love to see Sage back in a Texans uni. I can't believe I just said that. Desparate times call for desparate measures. Yes, he is prone to carelessness (Rosencopter anyone) but he knows the system, had a winning record while here, has experience, and can actually make some plays out there. EASILY bests Yates and I would actually rather have him then dink and dunk Leinart. He is at least slightly better than HTM imo because he will throw downfield, use #80 and put more points on the board. He will also make more brain dead decisions, but I would rather have someone making plays out there then farting around doing nothing.
 
Everyone stop for a second and ask yourself this question: "After adding the word "Rosencopter" to the English language does anyone really think that Sage would ever do anything that stupid again?"

I don't believe he would. I believe he has knowledge of our offense, the ability to step in and manage a game, and enough arm to make the throws required to keep defenses from stacking the line and shutting down Foster & Tate.

That's really all that we could ask for at this point. It's certainly all we're going to get. Every complaint I hear about every proposed free agent from Brett Favre all the way down to Brian Brohm adds up to "Yeah well do you have a better idea?" and the answer to that, to each and every one of us is "Hell no you don't". I don't either. We are 11 games into the season. All the choices that make any sense are gone. This is a Danny DeVito in "War of The Roses" moment. "There's no winning here. Just degrees of losing". Every single name we throw out there is going to be covered in warts. If said player didn't have problems then he wouldn't be ready to sign a vet-minimum contract as soon as you could get a pen in his hand.

So Favre is old and he sends pictures of his dick to people. Garcia is old and hasn't played in the league since 2008. Croyle has never done a single meaningful thing in his entire career at this level. Bust, Bum, Loser, Grandpa, take your pick.

Sage has more going for him in this situation than anyone else on the friggin planet.
 
I'd bring Sage in and would not think twice about it.

If you want Yates to get first dibs as the starter...Fine...

But it'd make me feel a little better about the situation if Sage was on the roster behind him.
 
Honestly, I'm not even so sure we should have ever let him go. I think he just ticked off the fan-base with one really bad decision, which actually took a lot of guts.

With our def and run game Sage should not have to take the chances he did back then, I mean the Texans were always playing from behind back then.
 
I don't think there's any question, they absolutely have to get Sage if he's there... But would he clear waivers all of the way to the Texans? Maybe we should have "Failed for 'Fels" yesterday...

Wow just got a message that said Sage is set to sign. how weird wod it be if he came in and led us to a superbowl? This has been a wild season!
 
My question is - why is Miami, of all teams, getting rid of him. It isn't as if they have a winning record (3-8). If he was worth anything, wouldn't they put him behind center?

Rosencopter does know the system, however, and right now that is priceless.

I guess if we do pick him up, I'll have to stop adding copter to his name.:cool:
 
Is he even eligible to return? He was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list by Miami. I'm not certain, but I was under the assumption no player could return to active status once placed on reserve.

Why? That's what he's know for around here. Until he can prove otherwise..
 
Sage was a damn solid backup when he was here. I'd take him in a heartbeat. He's also a known quantity.

We need to consider every option out there right now at QB. Anyone who is 100% sold on TJ Yates at this point is a delusional homer.
 
I answered my own question.

The Dolphins will reportedly release Sage Rosenfels (reserve/non-football illness list) so he can sign with the Texans.
Rosenfels has been hampered by a mysterious blood infection while with the Giants and Dolphins this season. If healthy, he'd certainly be an asset to a Texans team that has lost starter Matt Schaub (foot) and backup Matt Leinart (collarbone). Rosenfels spent three seasons with the Texans, starting 10 games between 2006 and 2008. Note that he'd be subject to waivers if the Dolphins do elect to release him. Regardless, T.J. Yates is locked in as the Texans' starter for the immediate future.

I, too, would welcome Sage with open arms. I question, though, if there have been too many bridges burned..........I hope not.

The minute Hot Tub went down I googled Sage not knowing where he was at. When I saw he was in Miami, I thought oh well, go TJ, then I thought maybe Miami might "Orton" him and thought no way it happens, then I read first thing he might be headed to Houston.

Sage played well when here, minus some boneheaded plays. However know we have a running game, and a DEFENSE!!!! I hope this happens it will make football exciting again!!!!
 
:thinking: On ONE hand I'm still pissed at Sage for giving the Giants a breakdown of the Texans offense that time they played after he got cut...on the OTHER hand, the infamous "Rosencopter" play at least illustrates that in that Raider game in which defeat was ripped from the jaws of victory he would have had the balls to have gone for it and the Texans would have at least attempted to have won that game in the closing seconds. But that's just one guys opinion.

At least Rosencopter would have fumbled into the endzone and gave us a chance, LOL.
 
At the beginning of this season, who would have thought after a victory that put our record at 8-3, panic would take over and we would be interested in starting the Miami Dolphins 3rd string QB. :toropalm:

Honestly, I liked what I say out of Yates yesterday before being hancuffed in the 2nd half. He looked confident, had a zip on his passes. The main thing is going to be getting his timing down with receivers.
 
wtf at the timing? somehow i dont think its coincidental. remember this in april when we trade our 4th rd pick for a 5th & 7th or something. the unofficial trade deadline continues....

i like the pickup if hes healthy. blood infection sounds like something that might affect performance though???
 
The Rosencopter game notwithstanding, Sage is 100% the best option for this team, and it's not even debatable, IMO.

Now that my opinion is stated, is this really a realistic possibility?
Is is a case of Sage being cut, or waived? Is there a difference between the two, and will he have to pass through a waiver process?
If there is a waiver process, It's hard for me to imagine him making it all the way through to the #1 seed in the AFC...
Am I missing something?

would also be the answer to one of the greatest comebacks that ended in a loss for the Texans...Remember the Titans performance he put on.Had it not been for Robinson giving up the big play late, Texans may have on that game.

Mysterious blood infection??????
Click to expand...

When I researched this, I found that Sage had experienced a severe Strep throat which was followed by a severe "back" problem which led him to be placed on IR by the Giants and then released on October 4th. He was then picked up by the Dolphins. The unique facts of his Strep case is that he was hospitalized bedridden for most of August for it. This was not a simple case of Strep throat. In fact, this "mysterious blood infection" could readily refer to a Strep infection that spread through the bloodstream to cause a complication of a spinal meningitis type of problem, which would have certainly been able to account for his back symptoms among other things. My guess is, if this is indeed the case, it is not probably one of those diagnoses that would be shared publicly.
 
If he is released, Texans will never get a shot at him. Not quite sure where the Texans are in the waiver wire but Tennessee or even the Bears will pick him up before the Texans get a chance....

He would be the best fit for the team....

Not sure that Sage has to go through waivers due to contract, veteran status and such. Nobody seems to have a clear answer on this.
 
I can't believe folks want Sage back. Desperate times and all that I suppose, but damn, Sage?
 
This is hilarious.

I say again, BASED ON WHAT?!?

"He knows the offense" = correction, he knew the offense in 2008. Let's all pretend like there's nothing different after 3 seasons.

I know what it is. It's based on you recognizing his name. Known quantity....even though we all know that quantity sucks big donkey balls.

People pining for Sage Rosenfels in 2011. I've seen it all. I'd rather see direct snaps to Foster the rest of the season, forgoing a QB than watch Sage Rosenfels take another snap. Add "mysterious blood infection" the phrase "if healthy" and 3 years to ol' Sagencoptor and suddenly Texans fans are right back in 2008, wishing he was starting. Unreal.

Yeah, I remember them LOSING. To quote another fan favorite who kinda sucked, Ephraim Salaam: "If if's were fifths, we'd all be drunk."

Over Robinson. Another fan favorite who kinda sucked. Should we bring him back too?

Rosenfels was not terrible when he stepped in for Schaub. Not great, but he played the QB position well enough. I would feel MUCH more confident in this team with Sage as QB than TJ Yates.

The offense may have changed some in 3 years, but Sage will still be familiar with the terminology and lingo of it all. Plus, the basic principles of the offense probably haven't changed much. It's not as if Kubiak completely reinvented the wheel between 08 and now.

alright who are the better options out there?? (expecting tumbleweed)

he played well for a backup here... well enough that we got a 4th rounder for him. and alot of the offence remains intact. and he'll have a run game and D to rely on unlike last time
 
In honor of recent developments....

I must drop the Anybody But Kubiak 2012 signature pic and hereby begin wearing this Rosencopter sig I made back when the infamous event transpired.

Ah, Sage Rosenfels....we meet again!
