Sorry to jump off the current Culpepper trade thread, but I'm just wondering what the opinions are concerning Culpepper if he did end up in Miami.

Positives:
1. He would be reunited with his old OC Linehan (assuming he doesn't get a head coaching job).
2. He would have a solid running game AND a coach that would try and keep things balanced.
3. He would have C. Chambers, R. McMichael, and M. Booker to throw to.
4. He would have a good defense to keep the Dolphins in the game.
5. He certainly has to be better than G. Frerotte.
6. In Saban's LSU glory days he worked with R. Davey who is similar in build to Culpepper (6-2 245 v. 6-4 260) but nowhere close in talent; ie...CPepp is more mobile, better arm strength, better decision maker...etc. CPepp would make Saban drool.
Negatives:
1. Age? How many years does D. Culpepper have in the tank?
2. Injury? Will he be fully recovered.
3. Would Culpepper be the right kind of mentor for a young QB (Rosenfels, or rookie)
4. Offensive Line? How Minnesota's compared to Miami's?
5. Cost to much in a trade? Would Miami give up a 2nd rounder if that's what it took?
Am I missing something here?
