Don't forget Bevell had a bad man crush on T-Joke too. Starting T-Joke is road kill for the good ole Seahawks.
NFL: Sage the Rage Released
- Thread starter bufante
- Start date
- Mar 27, 2006
- 41,126
- 29,380
- 113
So, how many coaches does T-jack have snowed? There was Childress, Bevell, Frazier (while he was interim), and now Pete Carroll, too? That's four guys paid big money to evaluate football players and put the best ones on the field. And somehow, T-Jack has them convinced he should start games for them, despite the risks to their careers and him having a talent level befitting an arena league player. Makes sense to me. He obviously majored in Hypnotism while at Alabama State.

Some team better put Sage in a cage before a rage like a mage ensues; it's hard to gauge but I think Sage is showing some age. Hopefully there is another page onstage in the book of Sage's career.
He is one year younger than Brady and about the same exact build. If anything I bet he is saving himself for a good team.
Oh yeah, I remember. I was watching it because I had Reggie Wayne on my fantasy team and remember thinking to myself that there is no way the Texans would lose that game...
Yeah he fumbled with 2:40 left which led to a Wayne TD then threw a pick on the last drive. Indy scored 21 points in 2 mins and 10 seconds to take the lead and win. That would have been a sad day for a Texan fan
I don't see what Miami thinks it's going to do? They would be really dumb to not give him a call. The truth is, Sage won't catch a break if he signs with Miami. He'd be better off going somewhere else as a back up that has some sort of offensive talent, so he can hope the starter there breaks a leg or something.
Sage was put on injured reserve, so he couldn't play for the rest of the year with the Giants. I know he felt like his back was not a season ending injury, so maybe they gave him an outright release/injury settlement so he can try and hook up with another NFL team.
IF I was him, I'd be proud of what I accomplished (11 year pro) and look to open a new chapter in life. Sage was an excellent QB, he'll be great at other things too.

he was an idiot. sage had a beter preseason than jackson but got rid of sage because he could get more for him than he would get for jackson on the trade

very debatable. Sage did well, that year, but he faced mostly second team defenses, while T-Jack played against first teamers. And, pre-season performance does not determine who is the better player. It's only a small part.
Beyond that, they were battling to be Favre's backup. It had nothing to do with trade value. Neither had very much at all. It had everything to do with salary. Sage was making more money, having been signed to a decent FA deal the year prior. A 3rd string QB wasn't worth the money. T-Jack was still on his rookie contract. it wasn't a tough choice.
I don't think he's been screwed, but he seems to have had some bad luck, but as another poster mentioned, 11 years in the league as a backup is nothing to sneeze at. He never would have been a star, but I would have liked to see him get a little more PT.
As for Jackson, I don't follow the Vikes close enough, but he seemed like a great physical specimen, and that is the type of guy that they will give as many chances as they can.
Sage needs to go into broadcasting in maybe the Big XII network or at least FOX College Football. I'm sure he's smart and probably well spoken and could not be any worse than many I have seen on tv.
With Chad Henne done for season, Dolphins now plan to sign former Giants QB Sage Rosenfels. Adam Schefter
Headed to Miami

Why? As long as he can find a roster spot, he'll find himself in one of two spots:
1) Fulfilling a lifelong dream of being a starting NFL QB and making some really good money
2) Keeping his risk of injury (and future health problems) low by being a backup and making some really good money
IMHO, he should keep playing until nobody wants him anymore.
