@TomPelissero: Spielman says scouting staff spent 38 consecutive hours in the office to get through cuts and the first waivers wave. #Vikings

@TomPelissero: Spielman says all 4 QBs played well. "Sage is a very good quarterback and has some value and you never know what happens down the road here"

Mercy Percy wrote: Thank you summarized my whole thinking. Whats every ones LOVE INFATUATION with Sage? Hes 36 taking up Money and you really think the back up quarterback matters at this point considering we wont be making it to playoffs?

Demi wrote: We still have to watch the product. And sorry watching Webb pretend to be a QB again isn't something I'm looking forward too.

John_Viveiros wrote: Wow. I could not possibly disagree more. Rewatch the Detroit game, or the Philly game a year before. I can't take my eyes off the screen.

Sure. Sometimes it's like watching a forest fire... Terrible and awe inspiring at the same time.

Childress traded up for and groomed T-Jack to be his starter and still deemed him QBotF even after benching him for Gus Frerotte and signing Favre...twice. And the Vikings don't have any intention of Webb every being the starting QB, barring injuries.


Webb was kept at QB BY CHILLY so he could jettison Rosenfels.

The only reason Webb is still a QB at the moment is because he doesn't have good hands and isn't a crisp route runner. And the Vikes have nowhere to put him, but he's too talented an athlete to cut.

He's a good out of the bullpen QB, so to speak, but when teams have time to prepare for him he blows.

I'm not crying over the loss of Rosenfels he's old and mediocre. Most likely MBT will become nothing, but there's at some hope he can develop into a decent backup. You know what you have in Sage.

And for the Ponder haters/detractors/non-believers you should be happy our backups are so bad because if Ponder gets hurt or benched we'll win even less games than we're projected to now and be right in the Barkley sweepstakes.
