Hallelujah

The Vikings cut John David Booty today, which was absolutely the right move. Booty just does not have NFL talent. Period. They may try to put him on the practice squad, and I can live with that. But to cut or trade Jackson and keep Booty would be ridiculous. Jackson is much better and much more talented, not to mention not that much older.

And how about the Raiders cutting Jeff Garcia today? I'd like this move a lot better if Oakland's backup QBs weren't Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye (hey, when you've got a chance to reunite the 2006 Browns you have to do it), but either way I never felt Garcia was a good fit for Oakland. I mean, what was the point of signing him? Here's the Oakland Raiders, we like QBs with size and strong arms, and then they sign Jeff Garcia. And they draft a receiver in Heyward-Bey that Garcia could never throw the ball to downfield. What was the point? It's like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Par for the course with that franchise, which cut their 6th round pick Stryker Sulak before he even signed a contract. Why did you draft him then? Who the hell knows with the Raiders.
