Sage is entirely too overvalued by our fans. He'll suffice as a starter, but he's nothing exception and certainly not irreplacable. He's gone after this season, so if you can get a starter and/or draft picks for him there is no question you make that move. I understand the hesitation based in the fact that, if Schaub goes down again, Sage is possibly the difference in a 7 win season and a 10 win season. But, in the bigger picture, at the end of the season, would you rather have 10 wins and nothing for sage or 7 wins and a starting player (Chester Taylor for example) for years to come?
I'll take Taylor over the next few years over Sage for this year everyday of the week. And if Matt doesn't work out this season, sign a back-up comparable to Sage in the offseason and draft a QB in the draft.
