Sage Rosenfels could be the answer

That's right he is. But didn't Sage leave Mini before JAckson?

Sage was probably going to be the starter in Minny before they decided to bring in Favre. Or he would have at least been breathing down Jackson's neck for the position.

I think Sage felt like it was going to be his job and when they brought Favre in it ultra pissed him off.

Remember, there were ramblings that Sage was the one causing some of the locker room trouble they had.

Anyways, water under the bridge now that it seems it's not even a possiblity.
 
Well, Miami can suk it. As for the rosen-copter argument, the guy did do too much and it cost us. But, better to get all that out and learn from that early, than to have it come out years later. He proved very durable after taking that shot, he knows the system and well it's not important now I guess, but

the whole state of Florida is trying to Fu*k the Texans:

Tampa- takes out MS
Jax: - takes out ML
Miami- takes out Sage

Just what do you mean by this? You recall Rosenfels is no spring chicken, right? His Rosencopter days were his veteran days where he isn't getting that **** out of the way early at all.

Given the circumstances, I wouldn't have minded seeing Sage come back here if things worked out. Still, I just have a hard time believing that a QB who's on his 4th team in a little over 3 years was the difference between success and failure for the 2011 Texans.

FYI - This coming Thursday (12/1) will be the three year anniversary of the last pass that Sage threw in a NFL regular season game. (Yes - it was for the Texans)

Hey, can you go edit my quote on the Fu*k. Blonde moment.

I'm just saying that if he comes back, he will make better decisions b/c the Rosen-copter issue is well documented.

B-b-b-but...he was supposed to be one of the 538 recent "answers at QB" for the Vikings!

That's a great point. It's all moot now, of course, but I was hoping to have him around just to push Owen Daniels one slot lower on the QB depth chart. Too bad...but you're right: that wasn't going to be the difference-making move for the Texans.
 
At this point, for the next week or two, TJ is going to the starter -- period. He's the only healthy QB available who knows the playbook. No matter whom else you bring in, it would take that long to learn the playbook and run some reps on it in practice.

I'm all for insurance a couple weeks down the road, but for now I'm all in with TJ and hoping the insurance won't be needed. Yeah, I'd like to have it if Yates doesn't do well, but for now I think it needs to be TJ's job to lose in the next couple weeks.

Why do I get this feeling that Brett Favre is not entirely out of the picture.

Kubiak said he won't rule anybody out and he won't confirm anyone.

To me, Sage was Option A and it seems Miami won't release Sage.

Option B probably just got put on the table.

Mr King of the Interceptions????

No way. He needs to stay in his bluejeans and ride his tractor.
 
Texans QB carousel is crazy.

Yates is the starter. We sign Kellen Clemens. Then we're supposed to sign Brodie Croyle but apparently don't. Bring in Delhomme and Jeff Garcia for workouts and sign Delhomme. Now Rosenfels is waived. I imagine we would cut Clemens if Sage were to sign with us.
 
I would welcome Sage with open arms. Except for the infamous Rosencopter game, he played well for us. I think he gives us the best chance of winning imo.

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.

What would be the ongoing implications of this?

What kind of shape can he be in???

Just goes to show you how teams release questionable medical info on their players. As we find out, Sage's sore throat was NOT from Strep throat, it was from mono.
 
New here...is there any reason not to give Kellen Clemens a chance? I never really got to see him play when he was in New York so I just honestly don't know what to make of him. Was he actually bad, or was he just pushed out by the Favre comeback?

he wasn't very good and throws a lot of picks. I've seen him play enough to think his upside is very, very limited. He reminds me a bit of a poor man's A.J. Feeley

He was bad, and wasn't really impacted by Favre's presence as he was on the Jets roster as recently as last year - long after Favre's departure. Chad Pennington was the Jets QB supplanted by Favre.

Personally I think they settled on a backup QB that was a bargain, would not complain about playing time, would help Yates, and had a clean background.

The signing of Delhomme makes me feel that Clemens never got serious consideration at substantial playing time. Maybe an emergency snap or 2.

After Leinart went down, the said oh ****, now we have to go pay for an actual QB that can play.
 
Am I in the minority that thinks that Yates might be a winner for them in the short term? I mean, we have the best RB, a good 2nd RB, a great offensive line, and the #1 D...and with AJ back we have a big receiver that can make plays on bad throws...so we just need a few completions here and there to keep the box from constantly being stacked for Foster/Tate and we ought to be able to score. As long as Yates doesn't turn the ball over, I don't think its so unlikely that we win with him.

Again I'm a noob here just my 2 cents.

No you're not alone, but he stands just as good of a chance as looking like a 5th round rookie than he does a winner in the NFL.
 
The Houston Chronicle's John McClain reports the Texans have no interest in QB Sage Rosenfels, waived by the Dolphins on Thursday.

"[Coach Gary] Kubiak likes T.J. Yates," McClain offers by way of explanation. Kubiak is also comfortable with Jake Delhomme as the No. 2 QB because he's thrown well, picked up the offense quickly, and already embraced a mentoring role with Yates. Kubiak may revisit the issue in a couple of weeks if Yates falls flat on his face against two contenders the next two weeks. Dec. 2 - 12:14 pm

Also, in case anyone is still confused: McClain is reporting via Twitter that Delhomme will be backing up Yates on Sunday----not Clemens.

Delhomme was signed to be the backup. Clemens was signed to be the third stringer.
