of course no team will sign him if he can't pass a physical. When healthy he has been one of the Top QB's in the league. Given his past success he will be play in 2007. I don't know if he can get back to the QB he once was but I would not give up on him just yet.it is when you rely on mobility, and your knees are shotYitbos69 said:30 is old for a QB?nygiants56 said:KING said:skills have been eroding for some time now.
Both what Green ran, and what Childress ran are at best bastardizations of the WCO. Green's offense was much more wide open and had more of a deep passing game than traditional WCOs. Childress has aspects of the WCO, but he wants to feature a power running game, and a conservative passing game built around timing and anticipation, two things which are not at the top of the lists of Daunte's specialties.blkgolf23 said:I'm with you on everything you said but the offense not being suited for Culpepper. Childress is running a form of the WCO just like Green did when he was there. But, there is no way Cupepper goes back to Minnesota.Anyone who thinks there is any chance in hell Culpepper goes back to Minnesota needs to turn in their "shark" card at the door. In addition to the bad blood, Culpepper is no longer a fit for MN, even if healthy. Childress' offense is not the kind of offense Culpepper is suited for.
Why does this make the most sense? This hate for Rex has got to stop. Is he a great QB? I wouldn't say so, but he just finished his first full year as a starter. I can;t think of another QB finishing his first year being criticized as much. Yes he's inconsistent, but give him a chance. Lets see what kind of strides he makes this year. He may be great someday, he may not. NOONE knows. Heck, if he stinks it up this year, I may be driving the "Sack Rex" bus myself. But until then, I'll give him the benfit of the doubt.The Bears may not have the best stable of QBs but its not that bad and has depth. Rex, Griese, Orton, and now Leak. Don't tell me that there are other teams that are in more need of a starter or need more depth at the QB position. Cleveland, Houston, KC, Oakland, and Atlanta are only some that I think could use his services more than the Bears.
That's exactly why is makes sense. Rex Grossman is entering the final year of his contract and if he doesn't produce the first half of the season he's done in Chicago. CPep could use a bit more time to rehab/learn any new teams playbook and would have that opportunity while Rex starts. If the Bears were high on Orton the wouldn't have brought on Griese. If they were so high on Griese they would have played him last season when Rex was wetting the bed.Culpepper offers upside at a position that Chicago currently has three caretakers and a never will be (Leak) taking up spots. You can give Grossman, Griese, and Orton the benefit of the doubt all you want, but the Bears are built to win over the next few years and their current group of QB's could singlehandedly sink any title hopes they may have.
I heard that 5 teams aren't interested, but I didn't catch all 5. Atlanta was one of them - NOT interested.
Unless Vick is suspended for the year, which is doubtful, Atlanta seems set at QB with Vick, Harrington, and Shockley.
Did you stop reading after you bolded that part? No, he isn't a great QB yet. He may be someday, he may never be. But how many teams have GREAT QBs? I can probably count them on one hand. And if he toitally busts this year, I'm OK with Griese for a year to see how he does and then see what we can get on the market and through the draft next year.
Marinelli point blank said yesterday that Culpepper is not coming here.
This is the second time you given the
about Harrington. Do you care to expound on why you think he's not a good backup QB?
Lions fan I presumeThis is the second time you given theabout Harrington. Do you care to expound on why you think he's not a good backup QB?
Have you ever seen him play? He is possibly the most inaccurate QB in the league. He has no mental toughness. He takes too long to recognize defensive coverages. He never seems to think it's ever his fault when he plays bad. He has no leadership skills. He has not improved at all during his career. His yards per attempt AND completion percentage are both low. His career completion percentage is 55.2%, and his career yards per attempt is 5.7. He should be a 3rd string QB.This is the second time you given theabout Harrington. Do you care to expound on why you think he's not a good backup QB?
Ouch. That's brutal.Um. Wow.I'm not sure where you got his career completion percentage, but it's wrong. He's a career 64.2% passer.
It's also no surprise, but you're incorrect when you say his career yards gained per pass attempt total is 5.7. It's actually 7.70.
Both of those totals are better than the career numbers for Tom Brady (61.9%, 7.04) and almost match Peyton Manning's numbers in the same categories (64.0%, 7.69).
I think your 'analysis' comes less from actual facts and more from the fact that Daunte routinely scorched the Lions. I can't say I blame you, I think Brett Favre is a 3rd stringer at best.
I'm not trying to defend Daunte, I just hate it when people open their mouth and spout off nonsense. I think this guy's 'analysis' comes less from the facts, and more from the fact that Culpepper routinely scorched Detroit.
Good Day.
It would be if lions327 were talking about Culpepper and not Harrington. Still, Harrington is fine as a backup quarterback, and lions327 already basically admitted that. Let's not talk about Harrington here though as I don't want to ruin an interesting topic.zig said:Ouch. That's brutal.jzygmunt said:Um.
