Wow, this guy goes for the jugular:
"Today is October 17th – the trade deadline for the 2006 NFL season.
I bring that up because it means that there are only a few hours left to rectify the biggest mistake the Miami Dolphins made this year – the acquisition of Daunte Culpepper.
Personally, I don't care what the Dolphins get for Culpepper. I'd be happy if they traded him for a mocha latte and two tickets to a Miami Heat game. I just think that the Dolphins should move him along because I don't believe, at this point, that he will ever return to being the player he was in 2004.
Culpepper has a great arm and amazing athletic ability, but after seven and a half years in the league, he takes too long to make up his mind and doesn't have good pocket presence. Those things will not change, even if he manages a full rehabilitation of his knee.
Right now, Joey Harrington is the better choice. While his stats don't clearly show it, Harrington has demonstrated better mobility, quicker decision making and better pocket presence. His arm is at least as strong as Culpepper's right now and he's more accurate. There is no area of quarterback responsibilities where Culpepper is better than Harrington right now – or is likely to be in the near future."
