Culpepper to Atlanta? (1 Viewer)

[SSOG]

Is Culpepper an upgrade over Harrington at this point? If I were ATL, Id let JAX sign Culpepper and trade for David Garrard, who obviously won't be sticking around should they sign 'Pepper.

If Culpepper is healthy (which by most accounts he is), he's so far and away better than Joey Harrington it's akin to asking if The Beatles sold more records the The Ruttles.

Are you joking , Culpepper biggest assett was his mobility ( That s the only reason he was so effective passing the ball , no one could tackle the guy ) Now that he lost 75% of it ( And it wont be back ) he is a worthless QB back up at best .

Good posting. Daunte Culpepper scrambled his way to an NCAA record for completion percentage. His legs were so good that his completion percentage is one of the highest in NFL history. If only Eli Manning were a little bit more mobile so that he'd stop overthrowing his receivers, because as we all know, all passing success is a direct result of a QB's mobility, and has nothing to do with his arm, decision making, or proprioception. The only reason Daunte Culpepper was any good at all passing the ball is because people would miss a tackle on him, and then the ball would magically appear in his receiver's possession without C'Pep doing anything that could be construed as "throwing" the football. Screw decision making, arm strength, or accuracy... if only Grossman were 50 pounds heavier and tough to bring down, he'd be Peyton Freaking Manning.

It's probably as maddening for you as it is for me when people point to Culpepper's 2004 season, yet fail to acknowledge how much the rule changes contributed to his success as well. Several players had career years that year in the passing game. Culpepper's year cannot be looked at in a vacuum.

Okay, let's not look at it in a vacuum. Let's compare Daunte Culpepper's season to every season ever posted by a HoF QB who played with a HoF WR in a year where passing numbers were up across the board. Tell me, how many QBs accounted for more yards than C'Pep in 2004 (keeping in mind, too, that these are HALL OF FAME QBs that we're comparing C'Pep to- the best QBs that the NFL has ever seen).Yeah, didn't think so.

I don't deny Culpepper put up numbers that were extrodinary for the season. Never did. I'm simply saying there is more to it than his 16 game line total. He's a QB with huge holes in his game, and you'll prove me wrong and rub it in all you want when he does it again in the NFL. I'll be waiting.
