Thread: WTF...Frerotte???

One year contract for Frerotte.
Not much left out there now.
Simms still available?

not for nothing guys but he has plenty of starting experience, has played pretty well over the last couple of years coming off the bench and starting.
i mean he was on terrible teams in st louis and miami, and maybe he was a part of that, but i've watched a fair share of games he's played and he isn't useless. he needs to be protected thats for sure, but hes still go the arm, and we probably win 1 or the 4 games we lost last year if he's our backup.
so look at it that way.
and you guys have to give up on this premise that the vikes are bringing in someone to compete with jackson.
face it, he's our qb, and when he succeeds i hope he makes you all licks his balls.

And when he looks like Quincy Carter?

i guess that would make me the ball licker.

Lol.. you know what you're ok ragz. i really like you.

Has Frerotte played in the WCO?
If not, I'd rather have Brooks since he is more experienced in our system and he is younger.

i try.
and carter was a cokehead, as far as we know tavaris isn't on any mind altering substances.
he just makes the occasional bad decision without them.

Proberly one of the best solutions to the backup quarterback spot if the FO wants to add a veteran..

I like Frerotte.. Get it done!
