Report: Vikes on verge of acquiring Rosenfels

[Waldo]

It is startling what % of Superbowls have been won by 1st rd QB's.

Tom Brady and Tony Romo are leading lots of teams on the hunt for the near mythical, 1 in a 1000, non-premium pick QB.

TT knows how to get it done. Take the best QB you can get your hands on until you've got a franchise QB, just in case get another to back him up, and keep up the hunt yearly for the needle in a haystack guys.

IMO we're gonna get a lot of value for Flynn in a year or two. Kid just oozes "it".

[hoosier]

Due to the limited options at QB for MN, what are they supposed to do?

Jeff Garcia? Kurt Warner? Kerry Collins? Trade for Cassel?

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?

That's what people said about David Carr too, and look what happened to him.

If David Carr became the QB of the Vikings next season he could take them into the playoffs, possibly deep into the playoffs.

David Carr is a good QB. An above average QB, for sure.

I think Carr's talent only comes to the surface when he's playing against the Vikings. Other than that he's just dazed and confused. If they signed him he'd have nobody to play well against and would immediately revert to his 2007 form when the threw five picks in four starts and had a passer rating under 60.0.

[Rastak]

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

We're not sure, but looked just like Brohm last pre-season so we're sceptical!

He may turn out ok, it's too early to say.

[SnakeLH2006]

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.

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?

Fuck no I did not just compare Sage to Kurt.

Can you Fucking Read???

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

Way to be a douche tho.

LOL. Ya, Snake gives his approval Zool, and thought that too. So I'm curious though, what was the mythical reference to Warner a reference to, then?? I'm stumped.

LOL, Waldo, I was gonna say what about Dilfer, but forgot he was a top pick at QB. LOL. Good point though bro!

Dazed and confused is right. That guy's been hit more than a $30 hooker.

[sheepshead]

Where's Partial? Why isnt he calling for TT to make this move?

[cpk1994]

Excellent question. Wish I had the answer. Especially since he thinks Carr is such a stud and Rodgers sucks.

[Guiness]

Jeff Garcia? Kurt Warner? Kerry Collins? Trade for Cassel?

Ouch. I would hate to see any of those names on Minnesota. I don't think KW will end up there, and Cassel is a longshot.

Garcia in particular I would not like to see over there, but Collins would do well too.

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.

Maybe, but then again, maybe not. Check out the "Rosencopter" at just before 2:00 into the video. Too funny.

Maybe he can single handedly lose games! A ten point lead with less than 4 minutes left, and he loses two fumbles and an interception to give the game away!

[mngolf19]

Vikes are not going to pay $15M for Warner at his age. Collins, may only be another Frerotte or an older Rosenfels. At least Rosenfels at 31 could last awhile if he turns out any good. Cassel, not going to spend a bunch of picks on a guy that had one Scott Mitchell year. Garcia is the only one I would have considered and yet he goes from team to team every year. Can't help but wonder why. And Chilly is already familiar with him while with the Eagles so I assume he knows what he would get with him. I'm not doing cartwheels over Rosenfels but I'm glad their trying.

Why not? It's not like they're built for the long haul. Warner has a couple of productive years left. That should just about do it for the Vikings core players. The Williams and that OL aren't going to stay in one piece forever.

Maybe the Vikes do want this guy...

Ugh...that was the PackerRats game week loss to the damn dirty birds wasn't it?
