Sage to the Vikings

AND we're replacing him with WHO??? Little premature IMHO, but, I wish him well and hope he has a successful career in Minn.
 
I suspect that the Vikes just became the team to beat in the NFC Central. All they were lacking was REASONABLE QB play and that fits Sage pretty well, unless you stress him and he tries to do too much......then, it's interception central and bad decision time. Good luck to him,he has really wanted to be a starter and now he is and on a pretty darn good team to boot.

Yup, think that may well be true. Any QB with AP running for you is going to have a workload taken off his shoulders, and I can't see Sage not really doing well there, as long as there aren't any major injuries...I can see him having fun and posting decent numbers with Berrian as well.

Weren't the Vikings already the team to beat in the NFC Central?

I just saw the list of FA QBs on NFLN and I'm a bit surprised that Minnesota didn't go after one of those guys and keep their draft pick.

Sage or Kerry Collins and a 4th?
Sage or Jeff Garcia and a 4th?
Sage or J.P. Losman and a 4th?

Brad Chidress must think he's the coach who can keep the Good Sage good. And exorcise the Bad Sage. Good luck with that, Brad.

IMO, not really. Looked to me like a 3 team jam up with the Vikes, GB and Da Bears all of whom had pros & cons as to why they were the leader. With Sage, I think they just separated themselves from that group.
 
I always got the impression that if it weren't for the Rosencopter incident, Fragile Mattie would never have gotten his starting job back

Best of luck Sage but I'm glad we have the draft pick
 
Umm dont wall mean NFC North :P

has of right now


Sage
Aron rogers
Kyle orton...who might have to compete
THe lions QB whoever that might be ?????
 
EDO

Brad Childress agrees with you, if he's wrong he will be on the unemployment line soon.

Scout.com Adam's Caplan has confirmed that the Vikings acquired Sage Rosenfels from the Texans for a fourth-round pick. Rosenfels signed a three-year, $9 million contract with Minnesota.
Minnesota nicely upgrades their quarterback position cheaply. The contract is so reasonable we could see Minnesota adding another free agent or draft pick to the mix. Rosenfels, however, looks like the heavy favorite to start for now and should put up workmanlike stats on the run-first team.

Good for him. I'm glad the Texans did this and I think it works for both teams. We can get a Sage Light in Ramsey or Fitzpatrick or someone and we get a pick.

I've cheered, booed, and pulled my hair out over Sage in the past. At one point in time I even supported him over Schaub. Right now, I wish him nothing but luck and hope he get's to start. I'm gonna be eyeing real closely the player we get with Minnesota's pick.
 
Deal could be a win-win for both sides. Vikings get a QB that is competent half the time, we get an extra pick in our money round!!!

I'd like to see the Texans look at Fitzpatrick. We've played him twice and both times he scared me. Once he beat us and the other time he was admittedly on a team that had nothing going for it but I still kept thinking "That guys gonna get hot in a minute and start lighting up our secondary".

I'm serious. I think he's exactly the kind of QB that Kubiak can work with and turn into an asset. Who knows, you give him 3 years here and we might be talking about getting a 4th for Fitzpatrick someday.

I'm with you on this. Last season was just too much for me, way too sketchy. You knew a pick was coming and the more he threw the more my anxiety went up. I wish him the best out there with the Vikes.

I agree with you on Fitzpatrick, I'd much rather have him as our backup QB than Patrick Ramsey like a lot of members on the board are suggesting.
 
So this gives us eight picks in the draft now right? I know we are going to lose one of them due to the rule violation, so really we have seven.

Whoa there fellow Texan fan. I didn't intend to put him down but I can, now that I re-read it, see where it could sound that way. I just meant that if there was ever a QB who wanted to be a starter - Sage is the guy and he has waited so very long for a chance - bless his heart - the helicoptering just popped out but wasn't intended in a nasty way. For the record, I do wish him the best of luck and hope he gets his chance at long last.

OK. That's what I figured. Just checking.

It's hard to read emails/texts/etc. and get the full picture of what someone means. Thanks for the clarification, buffi2.

And as everyone else has said: I, as well, can't wait to see who we draft in round 4. This was a win-win situation, IMO.
 
Congrats, Sage. You now have what you've wanted for so long. I sure hope you can make the best of it.

Now, who's going to be the QB to come in and start the next QB controversy? The Fitz? The Ramster? The self Safety?

:fans:

Agree. I think a few of the FAs are younger guys that can be worked with and who can do just as well as Sage. I like Fitzpatrick too. Ramsey isn't a stud by any means but he has seemed to be good insurance for many systems and sometimes safe works.
 
The Vikes already have so many pieces in place, they're going to be a good team with Sage under center for them, IMO. Good move for both teams. I think Sage is far too prone to turnovers to pencil them in as NFC champs, but they should be strong contenders in the NFC.
 
Finally we got an insider in their locker room who can put some IcyHot in Jared Allens jock strap! Whoo Hoo!:bat:
 
poor old Sage, could be a back up again :)

REPORT: VIKINGS INTERESTED IN CUTLER
Posted by Mike Florio on March 2, 2009, 1:46 p.m. EST

With Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler officially declaring that coach Josh McDaniels is no longer his “BFF,” the question becomes whether the Broncos will resume efforts to trade the disgruntled three-year pass-thrower.

Buried in an item from Mike Klis of the Denver Post is a disclosure that the Lions and the Vikings are interested in Cutler. (Presumably, the Buccaneers are still willing to talk turkey, too.)

The Lions already had been disclosed as a potentially interested team, but the Vikings are the eyebrow-raiser.

Though the Vikings already have traded for, and extended the contract of, quarterback Sage Rosenfels, a Cutler-Sage depth chart would look a lot better to Minnesota fans that the forgettable Tarvaris-Frerotte pairing of 2008 — not to mention the nightmarish Jackson-Holcomb-Bollinger revolving door from the prior season.

The question is whether the Vikes would pull the trigger, and what it would take to get Cutler from Denver. After sending a first-round pick and two third-round picks to Kansas City for defensive end Jared Allen last year, trading away another first-round pick would undermine the team’s ability to continue its effort to develop a nucleus of solid young players.

Then again, a quarterback can play for a long time, and franchise quarterbacks like Cutler rarely are available.

Meanwhile, Rosenfels’ three-year, $9 million deal doesn’t scream out “starter money,” which would give the Vikings the ability to pay Cutler.

And since he’s under contract for at least two more years (we’re assuming that 2011 is voidable), the Vikes would have time to get a long-term deal done, and in the interim would absorb manageable base salaries of $1.03 million and $1.42 million. (That said, there could be bonuses and escalators that drive up those numbers considerably.)

The question is whether the Vikings think they need both a franchise quarterback and a franchise running back. Based on the acquisition of Rosenfels, the answer apparently is, “No.” But with the career of coach Brad Childress hinging on what the team does in 2009, it makes sense to at least explore what it would take to pry Cutler away from the Broncos, especially at a time when Cutler is clamoring to get out.

While Rosenfels could take the Vikings to places they haven’t been in a long, long time, the chances of Cutler getting it done are considerably greater.

That would be just Sage's luck. Can you amagine the rug being pulled from underneath him again - that would suck for him. Nice guys finish last (just like we usually do in the AFC South).

That would royally suck for Sage. But, were the Broncos and Vikings going to do a deal, my guess is that Sage would be included in it. If they ship out Cutler, the Broncs would have a steaming pile of nobody at QB unless they get someone back in return. Maybe Cutler for the Vikes' first pick and Sage. I suppose they'd draft a QB, but there are worse options for a bridge starter.

I hope Sage gets a starting shot somewhere. By all accounts, he never let his frustrated ambitions affect his relationship with his teammates, in particular the starter (I believe espn blogger Kuharsky wrote that he never saw a starter and backup with as good a relationship as Matt and Sage). That's got to be worth something.
 
Cutler is not leaving denver i dont even know why people are talking about this anymore its Obvs denver put there name in there hat for Cassel but thats it

Probably not, but unless fences are mended soon I could see something happening with Cutler as the draft approaches.
