Sage Rosenfels

**chicagoravensfan** · 12-01-2011, 06:24 PM

Looks like the Dolphins are releasing Rosenfels from their non-football Injured list. Anyone else think he might be worth a pickup? Maybe for the minimum if he clears waivers? Flacco's been a total horse and I like what Tyrod Taylor showed in the preseason, but if the unthinkable were to happen I don't think Taylor could win a big game. Not that Rosenfels is anything special but with this defense and running game I think he could do enough.

Or McNabb:

Sage, in the words of the immortal shania twain "Don't impress me much".

No.

I'm sure Tyrod is rather serviceable and suitably efficient in his clipboard holding duties.

As Solomon Wilcotts would say, "We don't need Sage Rogenfeld"

I like seeing teams release these QBs late in the season if they're not going to play them. (McNabb, Orton). Adds a little drama in lieu of free agency

Not sure if Sage is the answer but I've increasingly been thinking about the backup qb situation. We've been incredibly lucky to have Flacco never miss a game in four seasons. And a quick look around the NFL will tell you how quickly it can all turn around if your QB goes down.

Tyrod Taylor is better than Rosenfels.

Write that down.

Good point. The ever thinning list of healthy starting QBs bodes well for Sage and McNabb. They probably get picked up....but I don't think the Ravens are in the mix.

Even if that's not true, Joe Flacco's farts are better QBs than either of those guys. If Joe goes down we're not contenders anymore. I don't care that much who is under center at that point; either one of them is capable of going down with the ship.

I don't think it would be wise to bring Sage in... Bc

You can write it, but it would be pure b.s.

Rosenfels would be a great pickup at this time. If Flacco were to be injured, our season would be in jeopardy behind a rookie QB with no NFL experience. Sage would be a good insurance policy.

McNabb has been washed up for three seasons.

At least Tyrod can run. We could just turn into the Denver broncos

**ActualSpamBot** · 12-02-2011, 02:36 AM

The guy who could come in here and win us a Superbowl if Flac goes down doesn't exist. Maaaaaybe Marc Bulger if our D goes on an absolute tear and Ray Rice puts it into permanent beast mode.

But trying to integrate a brand new qb to our offense right in the middle of a playoff push? Forget it, we're better off letting Tyrod play and potentially impress someone enough that he nets us an early draft pick.

And as was said, at least Tyrod can run.

McNabb may or may not get picked up. He's been in a steady decline for the past few years, and was relegated to 3rd string QB in Minnesota - behind Joe Freakin Webb! Obviously, there's a lot more going on there than just poor play. When Philadelphia, Washington, and Minnesota don't want you as a QB, even a backup one, that's kind of an indication that you're toast.

Of course, he still might get picked up... one never knows.

Is it really pure BS though? Really?

I'm not so sure.

Every game I've seen Rosenfels play he has been TERRIBLE. I'd take Kyle Boller over Rosenfels.

If they wanted to go after a vet QB then there are better options...namely Jeff Garcia and Trent Edwards.

In Jeopardy? I don't care who we have at backup out of that list, if Joe goes down so does our season! Sage is no going to win us a ring and neither is Tyrod...so why waste the money?

Well I did say probably. I dispute the "toast" adjective however. The teams that didn't want him all suck actually. He wanted out of Minny by the way. I'm not saying in any way that McNabb is a great QB (now) but I'm betting a few teams are looking at him.

**JAB1985** · 12-02-2011, 07:17 AM

Flacco goes down so does our SB chances. we could still win a playoff game with tyrod as there isnt much tape on him, but winning two would be a dream in my mind. Luckily Flacco is an Iron Man. 2nd longest streak in the NFL after Eli I believe?
