All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
This junior journalist reports that he has read that NE and possibly Jacksonville are emerging as Duante Culpepper's most likely destinations as a backup QB.
I think Detroit and St. Louis were the other two teams I read about interested in acquiring him.
Hopefully all these bums NE is bringing in to play roles will all go away if they end up with a ring ... then again, NE is the last team I want to see win it all

cas,
I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
I was thinking either Atlanta or Detroit with poss reuniting in Minny (doubt it though). Never though of Jax until this thread not a bad place for himt here.
Nobody mentions them, but Baltimore doesn't seem like a bad spot for Culpepper. McNair is brittle as hell, Kyle Boller is only being kept around because of his original draft status, and Troy Smith is just a rookie. Plus, they are a good team with a chance to contend. Culpepper could sign there and get an opportunity to play at some point.
Plus, while Brian Billick wasn't there when he was drafted, Baltimore runs the same offense that Culpepper had in Minnesota. It could probably pick that system up faster than any other.
With them being a contending team, Culpepper wouldn't be a bad insurance policy for the Ravens. It makes sense on a lot of levels.
It makes no sense for the Ravens unless they are going to keep 4 QB's this year or put Culpepper on IR.
Or dump Boller.
They have no plans to re-sign him and Smith is their developmental guy. McNair is an injury risk and if they see Culpepper as a better option than Boller they should make a move. It makes sense.

Why would a contending team want Daunte Culpepper even as a back up?
He was horrible in 2005 before he got hurt.
He was horrible in 2006 before he got hurt again (sorry, but I don't buy the "he was never healthy" line. He didn't look "unhealthy", just stupid-as-usual against Pitt and the Bills).
Now, he's supposedly "healthy" again but Miami isn't interested because they want to bring in a 37-year-old QB who looked horrible last year after suffering a serious head injury???
Culpepper fumbles too much and throws too many INTs at crucial times to be any kind of "insurance policy" (see the Carp's games against Pitt and Buffalo games).
The Bills have only had 17 playoff years and 19 winning seasons in 47 years. 9 of those playoff years and 10 of those winning seasons -- and the 4 Super Bowl appearances -- came in the 15 years when Bill Polian and John Butler were Bills GMs ... and Ralph Wilson fired them both.
