Dolphins | Culpepper to be late for offseason program
Wed, 15 Mar 2006 14:14:01 -0800

Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban said that QB Daunte Culpepper (knee) will be at the team's offseason program starting March 27, seven days after the program begins. Culpepper will be given permission to arrive late, due to personal reasons. Saban added that Culpepper will be present for coaching sessions and organized team activities.
Dolphins | Saban hopes Culpepper will be ready for opener
Wed, 15 Mar 2006 14:15:28 -0800

Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban said that the team hopes to have QB Daunte Culpepper (knee) ready for the 2006 regular season opener. "We're going to manage that on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis, working in conjunction with the doctors, his physical therapist, our people," said Saban. "I don't think it's an unrealistic circumstance to think that there's a great possibility that he will, but we're going to work through it and at no time and under no circumstance will we put him at risk of re-injury because he's not ready to be there."

Wow, we saved 10 Mill and landed a franchise QB!!!! Saban is the fizzel fo shizzel!!!!

Yeah, converting Daunte's salary to a roster bonus/whatever bonus was pretty much a no brianer in my opinion. He had like 50 million dollars going forward of unguarentee salary. That should give us plenty of room to re-do contracts or cut him down the line if needed.

This gives Miami room to sign a backup vet and some defensive help as well.

I think you are going to help the Bills feel the pain. The Bills have signed our 9th TE in 10 years, none have worked out yet.

Man, I was really happy with the Culpepper trade. Then this morning I am in Dallas on business and I hear on a sports radio show Peter King talking about how part of the reason the Vikings wanted to get rid of Culpepper was they asked to rehab at the Vikings Facility but he refused. So they make at trip to Florida to see how his rehab is coming along and this JOKER is rehabbing at a Healthsouth and doing sprints in a Walmart parking lot! A professional athlete choosing to rehab at a ghetto rehab center instead of with a NFL organization. Peter King goes on to say how we blew it not getting Brees and that Culpepper is WAY behind is rehab schedule and Brees is a month ahead of his. If this is true, then we just traded for a
DUMB ! Hopefully Peter King is not telling the truth.

Good for the Dolphins. Now you better hope you get Culpepper from two years ago not from last year.

To think Rick Spielman used a 2nd on AJ Feeley. Hopefully will have a tad bit better results after spending this 2nd :)

I hope the Bills are not interested in this elder and fumble prone option as our 3rd QB.

Thanks, even though a lot of us were hoping for Bees, for me because I didn't want to give up a DP, but a mid second for Pep is quite a steal. And this time next year we will have our full compliment of picks. I wouldn't be surprised if Saban trades down and we get an extra pick out of it. So far the Bill fans must be happy with their additions aswell.

Pep seems to be very thrilled to be a fin, on the interview on ESPN he couldn't stop smiling. He also has a desire to prove to the Vikes they made huge mistakse letting him go, I think the fins got a guy with a whole lot of desire and determination to win.

As I always say I hate giving the fins any credit, but these are some good moves.

Umm, umm, what was that other QB that this happened to and he also wanted to prove his old organization wrong? Oh yeah, that's right...Drew Bledsoe! Don't get too excited just yet, my friend. It's very rare that an established QB goes from one team to another and makes that much of a difference. Hey, maybe the Dolphins catch a break and it works out, but it is far from being a slamdunk!

Justa, who is that quote from? Is there a link to that, or is it someone's recollection of something someone heard about?
