Dolfan4life! said:So Sage is not the answer, this coaching staff knows it, the previous staff knew it, you seem to know it too. Why is he still on our roster? Why didn't we make a move for Rattay a few weeks ago? He could have been had for a 7th rounder. If Sage is no better than Frerotten, he belongs in the Arena league. If he is as bad as you assume he is, I don't believe he would have been re-signed in the off season. I've got to believe Nick would have signed another servicable veteran while they were available.
There are an awful lot of cheap backup qbs around the league that nobody except the very desperate think will ever be a legitimate starter. Sage is still on the team because he's cheap and Nick was concentrating on Gus and AJ at the time. Sage appears to be an afterthought to every NFL coach who's ever had him on the roster. Only desperate fans seem to think every professional coach and scout have been mistaken, sort of how they felt about AJ. I'm thankful to finally have a coach who assesses and evaluates objectively and doesn't sway with public sentiment. Almost every bad move made by the last regime was in response to public pressure. So we reached for a qb, we reached for an o-lineman, we reached for a RB. Those moves used a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks. 2 out of 3 of those players are gone. We got nothing for one, and it cost us a 6th to get rid of the other. I think I'm over letting the fans make the calls; I'll trust Nick.
