[chron.com] Rosenfels "Near Deal" to Vikings [Trade Finalized]

[barrett]

I can't stand McGee's attitude. A QB needs to be a cool head in a storm. Not a guy who stands up and wants to fight after getting sacked or who talks trash when down by a few TDs. Way too hotheaded to hand over an NFL offense to him.

Sounds like Phillip Rivers or Jay Cutler.

Is that supposed to make it better?

Rivers is OK and Cutler is solid but do you think it is because of the Attitude problems or in spite of them?

I don't think of it as an "Attitude problem" as much as it is cockiness. I'm not sure that you need it, but I don't think it's that big of a problem either.

On the old site, I went through all of the Texans drafts and what I would have liked to have seen the Franchise do. The first thing was to draft Julius Peppers instead of David Carr, and there are rumors now that Pepper may be on the Christmas wish list. Anyway, going through it all, I ended up drafting 2 QBs for the Texans.....Matt Schaub and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Well, Schaub was brought in when the Carr experiment was through and now John McClain is saying Fitz along with Orlovsky and Grossman are the probables to take over for Sage. Oh, the irony.

I just saw John Clayton to an inside the huddle segment on ESPN Sportscenter, and he said teh reason that Childress has been after Rosenfels is his consistency.

It was at this point that I sharted myself.

He consistently made me say the F-Word . Seriously though, I think Sage is a great fit for Minny. I think he'll do well there. I never had anything against Rosey (until the chopper game) other than he would never be more than a decent QB...if he could cut down on the silly int's. Schaub has the potential to be a much better QB. I don't know if he'll ever live up to his potential completely, but what you see is all your ever going to get from Rosey.

Cutler is reasonable, but I can't think of a single great QB who is as hot-headed as Rivers. And McGee is just as bad.

Great QBs are almost all noted for their cool head on the field. Unflappable is the most common word used. You just can't have your field general worried more about showing up a defensive player than he is about winning football games.

I have to admit, I hated Rivers when he first came into the league because of his hot-headness. I thought he'd fail miserably. However, over the last two years he seems to have calmed down and I'd take him over Cutler now. Rivers actually looks to be growing into a leader and someone who could carry his team, whereas, Cutler looks to be just a gunner who thinks more highly of himself than others do.
