Report: Vikes on verge of acquiring Rosenfels

[Rastak]

Since there are apparently purple fans reading this thread (reasonable, because it's kind of about their squad) I figure I ought to ask you guys something I've been wondering about:

Apparently, according to Peterson he plans on gaining weight without sacrificing speed this offseason, but the team isn't really on board with this. Considering that Peterson is already a big target, takes a lot of hits, and that being heavier just puts more stress on your body, is this at all worrisome? Peterson is already a really punishing runner, but the punishing runners tend to take a lot of abuse. Personally, I'd think that if Peterson is trying to be Brandon Jacobs (the second most valuable RB in the league after Peterson, probably) that's a mistake, but I don't follow this stuff as closely as the purple folks do.

Sacrificing speed would be a big mistake in my mind. He'd still be elite but the homerun threat is what keeps 8 in the box and the safety cheating all the time.

Doesn't help that guys blitzing are looking to beat AD up as much as, if not more than the QB. Comes with being the offense.

LOL @ Sage. Have the Vikes completely given up on having a decent QB?

They should draft Sanchez. He's real popular in LA, it'll help to ease them in.

They are just biding their time until they make a Booty call.

Those look like words to choke on.

Alot of people were "LOL"ing when the Cardinals signed Kurt Warner.

I for one am excited simply to see a new face under center. T Jack is not the answer right now and Frerrotte is a statue in the pocket.

I realize most fans are homers, but did you just compare Sage Rosenfels to Kurt Warner?

Apparently I cant. I guess you compared the Vikings interest in Sage to the Cards signing Warner.

Way to be a douche tho.

Try reading the whole thread next time Zool. I'm comparing the sentiments of fans in regard to the signing of QB's.

Maybe too easy for you? No real fodder there unless you make it up..... again.

I've read the whole thread, and thought you were comparing the Vikes going after Sage to the Cards going after Warner as well, FWIW.

No he's right. You don't have to come up in here acting like an ignorant spaz.

Due to the limited options at QB for MN, what are they supposed to do? They have a better OL and running game than Hou did so maybe that helps him out. While I'm not going to predict great things for Sage, he may be better for this year than Jackson and Frerotte has already shown his limitations. I am ok with this attempt. And obviously Sanchez is not ready, won't be available to them at their pick, and no better than Booty so why do that?

[Rastak]

For whatever it's worth, the hosts on Sirius NFL Radio all seemed to love the move. Most mentioned his ball security issues but all stated his decisions and accuracy are his strong points. Something the Vikings sorely lacked, despite winning 10 games.

Not a bad guy to bring in I guess. Better insurance then the dinosaurs they've been going with lately.

[Lurker64]

Well, Sage is probably better than Gus or Tarvaris. He doesn't exactly break the streak of Has-beens, never-was's, never-will-be's, and guys named Daunte that have held the helm in Minny though.

You kind of wonder if, or when, Minnesota will get another Franchise QB. Sage is an upgrade, but it's like moving from a C+ to a B-: better, but not something you'd hang on your wall.

I would agree, but with what's in place, a caretaker for a couple years while somebody develops isn't a terrible option.

The year to year dinosaur thing while watching jackson stink up the joint has to end.
I'm pretty much convinced now he'll never have the field vision to succeed and his acuracy just isn't good enough. He shows flashes but it seems that's all he'll ever do.

[Patler]

You don't necessarily have to have a QB who will win a Super Bowl for you, you just need one that won't single-handedly lose it for you. The Vikings may be getting that.

[Freak Out]

So what are you Vike fans saying about Booty time? Not ready yet or never will be ready?
