So who gets the big ugly axe?

So here we are - in the midst of post apocalyptic Favreageddon. Not everyone survives Favregeddon. So who doesnt make it?
Sage: Just got traded for with a contract. Looked crisp, sharp and in control during the first pre-season game. He likely makes it as our go to back up if Favre reinjures the shoulder or just plain sucks.
Tarvaris: Last year of his rookie contract. Has had plenty of time to prove himself but continues to look erratic. Last game that counted he threw a game swinging pick. Showed he couldnt win it in the second half. Doesnt improve in the ensuing offseason, first pre-season game he looks lost, overthrows receivers and drops the ball, literally, on his first snap. His mobility is both a blessing and a curse: with BF hes outnumbered 3 to 1 in pocket passers to mobile passers.
The Booty: Looked better than Tarvaris. All the reports are that this kid just needs another year of watching and getting up to speed. He's cheap with way more potential than Tarvaris. His play style also falls in line with the rest of the lineup should TJ get cut - all pocket passers then. As a pocket passer, he can continue to watch and learn from two Veteran PP in Sage and Brett.

While I appreciate the topic...
It’s pretty obvious you want Tarvaris to get cut.

So other people are allowed to post topics that clearly bely their personal feelings but i’m not?
I’m not a regular writer. I dont feel the need to be objective.
If you feel differently. Vote and then explain why you feel differently. Its just an informal fanpost topic, not a college dissertation.
No one says it is...
But it’s just so blatently obvious. You could point to in-game statistics, or tendencies, not saying:
The Booty: Looked better than Tarvaris.

I agree
But you have also blatantly pointed out that you are a T. Jackson supporter, so it’s a wash.
You're saying I'm a Tarvaris supporter?
I’ve been saying he’s not the answer for a long, long time. He swayed me a bit with the final two games of the season last year, but I’ve been a Sage guy since we signed him. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’m just trying to be objective and not throw my bias into analysis.

And I'm not picking on anyone
Just an observation
There should be an option for they don't get rid of anyone

meh
IMO, there’s no way they are keeping 4 QB’s on the roster.
T-Jax has GOT to be out in my mind. Sage will be our solid veteran backup and Booty is our developmental third guy.

Brett Favre proves he is a total piece of garbage.
On a slightly related note, according to Judd Zuglad’s twitter, John David Booty has switched to #9.

Trade Bait
I’m thinking that we trade whoever has the highest value draft pick-wise, or at least overall value will be key. It could be quite likely that Sage ends up being the guy who leaves if we can get a 3rd or 4th round pick for him. It would make me nervous as I’m a Sage fan, but if Tarvaris is really Chilly’s guy then I’d be surprised if they traded him for a 6th or 7th rounder. We could trade Booty too, as his unknown quantity status would keep him at least worth a 5th rounder. In any event I’m sure all the logistics are worked out already as clearly this saga has been a behind the scenes one, and the media has played right into their hands. I say let Tarvaris go and let us both move on.
I don’t think we would get rid of Sage as he will most likely be our back-up…im not sure if any team would give anything for TJack…also I don’t think there’s much trade value for booty either

How about we make this decision based upon who performs the best in the remaining 3 preseason games rather than try to base the decision upon 1 game?
We still have not seen Booty nor Rosencopter run this offense against a real football team, so how can you make an educated decision as to who we should keep?
Sure, keep Booty because he came from USC. Whoop-De-Doo. The guy has not proven himself even to be a viable backup option. Let’s use our heads here.
