Purple make it official - Let the Ferrotte Era Mark 2 Begin

The Vikes signed the 36 year old Gus Ferrotte to a two-year, $3.75 million contract to serve as mentor and backup to T-Jac. This is Gus' second stint with the team. He started 2 games in 2003 with a passer rating of 118 with 7 tuddies and 2 ints. Guess I'm not surprised. They tried to get Sage Rosenfels but couldn't lure him away. At this point, T-Jac is our man. In my book, having a serviceable backup in the NFL is a must considering how important the position is to a team. I don't think there was ever a chance of getting McNabb and I don't know who else is available. I'm sure that Pep, acting as his own agent, could have made a deal to get out of Oakland and return to the Great White North but his small hands, terrible accuracy, and always putting the ball on the ground via the fumblerooskie (that he neglected to tell his teammates he was running) would be a minus in my book.

Do you think anyone outside of the Ferrotte family owns a Ferrotte jersey? Where is Drew Bledsoe these days.
