Culpepper to Fins!! (maybe)

Re: Culpepper to Fins!! (maybe)

you guys can´t piss on our parade, we just got a HUGE upgrade at the QB position......

Re: Culpepper to Fins!! (maybe)

I'd rather have Brees

Me too, but Culpepper should be solid for you guys. You really had a good group to choose from. Dante, Brees, Schaub, and you even could've looked at Ramsey as a last option. All would improve the situation there. Dante was playing great just 2 years ago.

Re: Culpepper to Fins!! (maybe)

Culpepper is a huge upgreade over Ferrotte but there defense took a hit especially the secondary due to cuts. Brees and Culpepper both have a huge risk and huge reward potential. Time will tell if it was a steal or not. Culpepper was outplayed by Brad Johnson last year so who knows...

Re: Culpepper to Fins!! (maybe)

I'm not sure what to think! I wanted Brees and that 2nd round pick. Only time will tell.

I would laugh my ass off if he never gets to 100% and doesn't even see the field this year.

Culpepper is better on the sidelines then JP is on the field, so I wouldn't be laughing to hard.

I think this is a good pickup for Miami. The Gus/Feeley/Rosenfals carousel that finally had Gus starting was horrible last year. And with Gus now gone, they need someone with credibility at QB. Culpepper is not the most consistent ever, but he's an order of magnitude better than what they had before. Now they must protect him. If they think Shelton is going to get the job done, they are sadly mistaken. With their 1st rd pick, they must take one of: Winston Justice, Eric Winston or Marcus McNeil (probably in that order). Losing their 2nd rd means they won't be able to take a top Guard and their secondary may need to be addressed with their 3rd and/or 4th picks...

But all in all, a good move by the fins!!!

You better hope LJ Shelton plays to his potential. We all know that Daunte fumbles the ball a lot whe he gets hit.

Re: Culpepper to Fins!! (maybe)

Phins dont have him yet....he still needs to get by their doctors. If he passes the physical its a tremendous upgrade, over the past decade of QB play in Miami. Chamber, McMike, Brown and co. have the ability to do amazing things if they have a QB that can hit them in stride.

Re: Culpepper to Fins!! (maybe)

Well there ya go. Brees to New Orleans and that makes #8 MUCH more attractive to teams wanting a QB

makes number 4 even more attractive.

Not to rain on any fin fans parade, but there is much speculation as to whether Culpepper is really that good without Moss?

Shelton will be fine with Houcks ability to coach up, the 2nd I believe it's a 2007 2nd.

I think he will be fine, and deep inside so do you.

No, I think it's a 2nd rd this year!

Houcks is a decent coach, but Shelton appears to be lazy and is older. Sometimes you can't teach an old dog new tricks...

Numbers don't lie.

Moss missed Det, GB and Ind during the 04 season.

During that time? 765 yds passing, 68% passing, 7 TDs, 1 INT. The guy has Randy McMichael (better than their TE), Chris Chambers (a Probowl WR), Marty Booker (a once Probowl WR who is definitely better than their #2), and one of the best 1-2 punch backfields in the league.
