It's rare teams make the playoffs if they lose their starter for an extended period. I know the Pats have struck gold twice, and there's plenty of QB's who got their shot and stuck after an injury. Sage has had several shots and never been able to stick. OK, he probably should have been given the reigns over Carr, but he was stuck behind plenty of crappy QB's in Miami too.

I'm just not buying the importance of a back-up QB as much any more. Teams that win with Back-up QB's do it for 2 reasons...good running game and a good defense. I think Sage will be fine in Minny for those two reasons.

Good deal if we can get a 4th simply because he's in his last year. He has been a great value for 3 years and if we can dump him for a pick now, he may go down as the most effective FA signing in Texans history (I'm saying more about our FA history than about Sage).
