i thought the same thing. how much bad blood is between them?
Culpepper would have to come crawling back on his reconstructed knees with crocodile tears in his eyes and profess to Childress that he was wrong and he wants Childress to be his daddy.Daunte blew Childress off. Asked the Vikings to re-work his $100 million contract he signed 2 years prior to squeeze them out of a couple more million after the fact that he tore up his knee after having the worst start of his pro career through 6 games into the 2005 season. Never checked in with the Vike's doctors and was threatening a hold out/trade me before he even had a phone conversation with the new coach.
Why in the world would we want this train wreck back in Minny? I didn't enjoy watching him fail the first time and wouldn't enjoy the rerun either.
If they would have taken DeMarcus Ware or Shawne Merriman instead of Troy Williamson and taken Devin Hester instead of Ryan Cook (the 2nd round pick for Culpepper) then we would have completely fleeced the Raiders and Dolphins. As it stands, the Vikings did a poor job with their selections. Williamson and Cook might be OK eventually. but adding Merriman and Hester would have been incredible, and the Vikings did need DE's/LB's badly (they took Erasmus James at 19).FunkyPlutos said:
The jury's still out on Cook. I personally think he'll be a good starter at RT for years to come.As far as CPep returning to Minnesota... I think there's a better chance of me getting involved in a three way with my wife and Charlize Theron.
There is a bit of a fallacy here, which is that known players are worth more than draft picks, precisely because it's hard to use draft picks well. Yes, the Vikings could have made selections which might have worked out better, but when evaluating the value of a draft pick vs. a player on your roster you have to consider the possibility that your pick will bust (which is easily a 50% chance).
Agreed, but good luck to you anyway.
Over-rated. Been there, done that. Didn't ya know? I'm a FBG!I applaud your choice in women Andy.
Well, at least you're half way there - right?
I think the performance anxiety would lead to much disappointment for all parties.
Anyway...back to the CPep discussion. I think he's played his last down of meaningful football. I've said all along that the bigger problem than his knee is his head. I don't think he's mentally strong enough to handle being discarded by a second franchise.
One third.
One third.
...... 
Maybe your wife would be more into it if the last third was George Clooney? Not ideal for you, but at least it's a start. Just trying to help - you can thank me later. 
The players you drafted with those selections have nothing to do with what value you got. They got rid of both at not quite peak value, but considering the contracts that they had the team had to take what they could get. The only team that might have gotten fleeced in either deal might me Miami, as they were sold damaged goods.
...and who says Culpepper would want to play for the Vikes.jestertj said:
Human nature runs both directions. In all reality, who's in worse shape...Culpepper or the Vikes?? I have not liked Culpepper for quite awhile now, but one could argue he personally has more upside than a previous 6-10 team now starting TJax.

Calbear, Moss did have 13 TD receptions that year.
What I think it kind of funny in all of this is how the Vikings were SAVAGED for their deals of Culpepper and Moss. Now, a couple years later, Culpepper and Moss are both going to be dumped for a LOT less than the Vikings received for them after posting EXTREMELY disappointing stats for their new respective teams.That type of observation obviously shows my :horns:, but I just wish all those haters out there who said that the Vikings gave away the farm would come back and say "yep, maybe those trades weren't so bad after all." As a Vikings fan, I've SEEN giving away the farm (flashback to the Herschel Walker trade).
