I believe if he comes out early and plays well, gets in an early groove(rhythm), he may shake off some of his nervousness or whatever it is, but if he makes a BAD PLAY EARLY, HIS MOJO COULD BE LOST FOR THE SEASON?? I sure Hope its the Former not the latter.
Our Season DEPENDS ON THIS IMO.
 
I honestly don't think Daunte will completely regain his "mojo", so to speak, until he gets his mobility back 100% and he feels confident about it. That being said, he's just going to have to develop a better pocket presence. Is that possible? I sure hope so.....
 
Compare his numbers to Brees, and you'll see almost a mirror image. Now realize that Brees is about fully recovered while Dante isn't. That's upside if you ask me.

He has the ability and attitude to improve, he alluded to such this morning. He'll get what Austin Power's briefly lost.
 
Call Austin Powers, he's good at finding Mojo. Somehow I just can't picture Saban having much to do with Mojo!
 
He's been through bad seasons before and rebounded. So it's possible.
 
Mojo or not, Culpepper has always been known to throw a large number of INT's. He also has a fumbling issue that hasn't gone away. I'm questioning if Culpepper ever had any mojo to begin with.....

Whatever it is that he needs, let's hope he finds it before Sunday....

PHINZ RULE!!!!

Im with you.. maybe it's a case of the grass is always greener sort of thing.. but having Cpep on our team.. with all these mistakes..makes me very nervous... any positive mojo would be good mojo for Cpep.

Damn hater, go some where wit dat man. I think seasons of 25 to 11 and 39 to 11 . . . TD to INT ratios is outstanding . . . and thats what he put up in 03 and 04 . . . 05 I have heard confilicting reports about him being injured, and the fact that he got hurt and wasn't able to turn around his season I don't factor that all the way. But how can u say the man never had "mojo" when he threw 39 TD's and 11 INT's, with Moss injured half the year. SMH @ these people. Any QB with a career passer rating over 90 is outstanding. His biggest issue was his fumbling more so than the INT's . . . and that will improve with the better talent here in Miami. Once CPep gets into his comfort zone with his knee and this offense, he will be just fine.

I'm not a hater, I'm a realist.....

He has a few very impressive seasons in the past, but who cares about that today when we're sitting here at 0-2.....

I think it takes a while to get over the injury he had, not just physically but also mentally. He also needs time to really learn our system. I think DC will be just fine.

I remember you being very excited about Pep in the offseason and preseason, two games is enough to turn you around?

mojo or no mojo he still can't read a defense.
 
Against the next two defenses, now is the time for Daunte to regain his mojo.

That's correct, I wrote a few training camp reports, and expressed some very high expectations for us this year in the process. Culpepper looked impressive then, and that's why I was lead to believe he would make our offesne stronger.....

Today, unfortunately I can't say the same thing about him. He's looked terrible, and everyone knows it. They're even talking about it on every single football program / radio show in the country. It's impossible to deny that Culpepper isn't getting the job done right now....

If that means we have to give Harrington a chance, then so be it. We can't continue losing games just so Culpepper can "find himself" suddenly. He's a pro, and either he has what it takes, or he doesn't....

I always thought that Harrington would be starting if Culpepper experienced any setbacks in his return. Well, I think it's safe to say he's struggling much more than anyone anticipated right now. Whether or not that is grounds for benching, we can't decided, it's not up to us, but anymore of those kinds of performances from Culpepper, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Harrington get his chance.....

I would also like to say something else. I'm a die hard Phinz fan, and I want what's best for this team just like everyone else. I don't have personal ties to any one player on this team, and I certainly don't have any shame in throwing a player under the bus when they deserve it. I've been a Phinz fan long before Culpepper came here, and I'll remain one long after he's gone. I want him to succeed, but of he can't, what good is he??....

Call me whatever you want, a flip-flopper, a disloyal fan, whatever. I just want this team to turn things around, and start winning some football games...

PHINZ RULE!!!!!
 
daunte getting his mojo back has more to do with the offensive line than it does daunte making mistakes. Daunte makes mistakes because he is afraid to get sacked 7 times in a game.
