I would think his re-draft ranking takes a major blow, while his dynasty ranking is dealt a minor blow. No matter how you cut it, it's not a positive for Culpepper.

Joey is 100% not a threat to Culpepper, he is there as a backup and to play until Culpepper recovers from his injury.With or without Joey Culpepper plays the same amount so his value stays the same.I would think his re-draft ranking takes a major blow, while his dynasty ranking is dealt a minor blow.

This and the fact that MIA did cave in and give up a 5th rounder next year for him, tells me that they want Joey in camp ASAP. Doesn't look promising to me.No change.
I already assumed C-Pepp would not be ready to start or would be less effective if he tried. It would've been crazy for Miami to not bring in a viable backup.
IOW, I considered this way before it actually happened.
How so? The starting job belongs to Culpepper. Once Culpepper is healthy, he will be the Dolphins' starter. That's not wishful nor ignorant; it's understanding the realities of the situation. If someone is a Culpepper or would-be Culpepper owner (I'm neither) the primary concern is when he'll be able to return this season, not the arrival of Joey Harrington.Perry and Packers-
Let's call a spade a spade here. The current #2 (if you will) is Cleo Lemon. To say Harrington will have no effect on Culpepper is both wishful and ignorant.

Quit being a Weiner. Have you seen Joey play? He is terrible and there is no way he plays once Culpepper is healthy so how will Joey affect Culpeppers value???? It will not Culpepper will play when he is healthy, just like he would if Joey was not there. The only reason the Dolphons traded for Joey was insurance for CPep not to threaten his job.Perry and Packers-

Of course. But that has nothing to do with Joey Harrington and everything to do with the health of his knee, which I have said is the primary issue with Culpepper this season.If he's not ready to start the season it hurts his value in re-draft leagues.

We can all agree that Culpepper is the starter, and will start when healthy.The reason some people (including me) are downgrading Culpepper is because they belive the Harrington deal means that Culpepper's recovery isn't going as well as the Dolphins hoped and that Culpeeper may be brought along a little more slowly with Harrington as backup instead of nobody.Of course.

hmm yea I will say that.You do know that the offensive coordination Scott Linehan for Miami was the offensive coordination from the Vikings. In three seasons in Minnesota, Linehan oversaw one of the league's best offenses. The Vikings ranked second in the NFL in 2002, first in 2003 and fourth in 2004 in total yardage. And he personally asked for Culpepper.In other words, nobody believes a guy who threw 6 TD's vs 12 INT's last year PRIOR to tearing every ligament in his knee cannot be pushed for his job by a former #3 overall pick who had a 12-12 TD/INT ratio in '05?? I know stats don't tell the whole story, but I'm simply making the statement that Culpepper is not exactly Carson Palmer returning from a major knee injury.

Nope. Nobody but you apparently.Cpep has actually accomplished allot more in the NFL than Carson Palmer, though I can't imagine what this has to do to the ridiculous argument that you seem to think Joey Harrington has been signed as the Dolphins QB of the future.In other words, nobody believes a guy who threw 6 TD's vs 12 INT's last year PRIOR to tearing every ligament in his knee cannot be pushed for his job by a former #3 overall pick who had a 12-12 TD/INT ratio in '05??

Joey is 100% not a threat to Culpepper, he is there as a backup and to play until Culpepper recovers from his injury.
With or without Joey, Culpepper plays the same amount so his value stays the same.
You might want to have a look at a little more than just 7 games in 2005 before throwing CPep on the scrap heap.The year before, he had 4700+ yards, 39 TDs and 11 INTs (mostly without Moss, by the way). He was a top-3 (often #1) fantasy producing QB on a ppg basis for 5 straight years from 2000-04. He's still under 30 years old. He no longer has Moss, but he has Chambers.In other words, nobody believes a guy who threw 6 TD's vs 12 INT's last year PRIOR to tearing every ligament in his knee cannot be pushed for his job by a former #3 overall pick who had a 12-12 TD/INT ratio in '05??

Why shouldn't I use Culpepper's latest season?? It's the most applicable. You don't hear people pumping Curtis Martin's NFL-leading '04 season, do you??...and to compare Chambers to Moss is absurd.You might want to have a look at a little more than just 7 games in 2005 before throwing CPep on the scrap heap.The year before, he had 4700+ yards, 39 TDs and 11 INTs (mostly without Moss, by the way).

You're worried about Joey taking his job? Are you worried about Michael Turner taking LT's job too?
Dude, your best bet is to save face and hide. You got owned and you're spouting jibberish.

We'll have to just agree to disagree on both points. Seven games is not more applicable than six years. Curtis Martin is 33 now while Culpepper is in his prime for a QB at 29. Not the same at all.Chambers is a lot better than you are giving him credit for, and as I stated above, the 2004 numbers CPep put up were largely without Moss.Why shouldn't I use Culpepper's latest season?? It's the most applicable. You don't hear people pumping Curtis Martin's NFL-leading '04 season, do you??
...and to compare Chambers to Moss is absurd.
Fair enough. If you read my original post, you will see I downgrade Culpepper more in re-drafts than dynasty leagues. I do not see Harrington as the long-term option in MIA (...or anywhere else).We'll have to just agree to disagree on both points. Seven games is not more applicable than six years.

Hey Dog,For the record, I read and agree with a lot of your posts (just not this time), generally like what you have to say, and am glad you share your thoughts on this board.Fair enough.

Sigmund Bloom I respect everything that you have done here. But Kerry Collins has not played well since he has been sober. Culpepper >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CollinsThe guy you should be worried about is Chambers. His stats could take a hit if its Joey for more than a few games. Chambers owners would have been better off if they had gotten Kerry Collins.

What if the Dolphins start our 11-2 and you have a fully healthy Culpepper on the sidelines....what do you do?RAPTUREIf Culpepper is not ready to go until around week 7 and Harrington has gone say 6-1 then I can see how the Dolphins will hold Culpepper out to "fully recover". If this happens than yes I think it takes a hit on Culpeppers value. Just because HArrington couldn't do anything with the Lions (what QB has lately?) doesn't mean he can't do well with another team. If the Dolphins start out on fire and Joey is clicking with the offense I would put money on the Dolphins letting Culpepper sit out longer. Does this mean Joey is better than Culpepper? Nope! But why change something that is working out well.
I have to respectfully disagree here.
There have been two announcements this week about Culpepper's progress in healing and Miami's happiness with their situation. The most significant being on ESPN's 4 Quarters TV on Wednesday night. Culpepper got a clean bill of health from both his surgeon and the Miami medical staff. He is projected to be starting in Training Camp!
Harrington's arrival is only security should Daunte get injured once the season gets underway. Much like Brad Johnson's last year in Minnesota or Todd Bouman or Gus Frerotte or anyone else chosen to backup a starter.
It is always prudent not to put all one's eggs in a single basket!
Joey Harrington leading the Dolphins to an 11-2 record?? This is like Farve going the entire season next year without an INT.What if the Dolphins start our 11-2 and you have a fully healthy Culpepper on the sidelines....what do you do?RAPTUREIf Culpepper is not ready to go until around week 7 and Harrington has gone say 6-1 then I can see how the Dolphins will hold Culpepper out to "fully recover".

Because his 2005 offensive coordinator was former OL coach Steve Loney, who despite being a heck of a nice guy has no job in the NFL. Culpepper's production under a legit OC speaks for itself.HTHWhy shouldn't I use Culpepper's latest season?? It's the most applicable.
