I would like to see Sage get a chance too but, I don't think it's a good idea. The fact that our O-line is in such a mess and the possibility that it could be a fatal flaw on this team means that the season is not going to be saved by QB play alone.
So, let's say Sage takes over now and actually shows he can play well but, because of the O-line our season ends prematurely anyway.
What have we accomplished?
Bad things.
Someone, said that Sage is a free agent after the season. If that is true, instead of having a "hidden gem" that we can sign relatively cheaply, we have a bright shiny diamond that others are admiring and all of a sudden we are looking at spending major dollars on an up and coming player. Considering Fiedler's salary and Griese's wants next season, Sage just may be our ace in the hole. That being the case, I don't think it would be wise to show our cards yet.
If we can get the o-line to shape up just a little bit, Griese or Fiedler are perfectly capable of making this offense go, we don't need to showcase Sage for the rest of the league to see.
Considering the emphatic "NO" that Wanny gives when Sage is mentioned as a possibilty this year, either he totally sucks and they know it, which I doubt seriously, or they might be playing this a little smarter than we all think.
