At least I got to enjoy something that happened today. Jets won, Bills won, we lost to the Cheatriots, Ravens won. Wow. Bad day. If it werent for how much Culpepper blows, I wouldnt have even gotten a single laugh for the day.
Culpepper still blows.

He also looks like a defensive end.
He must live in the Lions canteen.
He must live in the Lions canteen.
He had a nice start, but you knew he'd have at least 2 INTs in the game.
What a bum.
What a bum.

Yea Daunte is the reason that the Lions have not won a game lol. Not saying Culpepper was good but people just cant wait to pile on a Qb that did not go through an offeseason with a team, did not go through a training camp with a team and was not signed until half way through the season. Realistically would many qb's do well in that scenario and be honest.

Yep
Not that i'm a Culpepper fan, but Warren Moon couldn't win a game with that Lions team. Not in the situation that Culpepper has been in.

people just keep dumping on daunte no matter what happens. Did anyone see the guy that replaced Daunte in Miami play yesterday. Trent green signed a pretty good contract, had a full off season and training camp with the Rama and went out and threw 4 interceptions. for the season he has a passer rating of 41.7 and 0 tds 6 interceptions. I dont see people going around making Trent Green still blows threads.

Thats because everyone knows Green is well passed his best days and he was brought in by Cameron.
I dont have any ill feelings towards Culpepper, I could'nt care less whether he succeds or fails. But the guy left Miami without proving a single thing or doing anything of note. I dont think that was all down to Culpepper, alot of that was out of his control.
But lets be honest there is a reason why he was cut by a team that would eventually go 1-15, the lowly Oakland Raiders and not get picked up till mid-way through the season by the worst team in the league. Its not all a co-incidence.

Not to defend Culpepper but he was cut so Cam could bring in his own guy. As for why he did not get picke up until now, mainly because he turned down other offers that did not invlove any chance to start. Pittsburgh had interest in him. Seriously Im over Culpepper but for people to label him as like the worst qb in the NFL, i guess they have not watched Trent green as of late.

Dlockz your a funny guy. You keep that candle lit for your boy Dauntee. Do you have a book somewhere with all of Dauntees excuses and you just look one up and post it everytime someone has something bad to say about your guy. Daunte's career is over. He cant even hold his starter postion on a winless team.
He stinks too, what's your point?

I think it is hypocritical to Complain about how everyones bashing Culpepper when your main line of defense for him is to bash Green. I just dont get the logic in that. If you want to defend Culpepper give us something positive he did for us (other then leaving). Im tired of hearing about he is no worse then Green. I want to hear what single good thing he did for this team. I dont think anyone who dosnt like Culpepper misses Green either. I know immeadiatly that as soon as someone mentions Culpepper in a thread your are going to immeadiatly bring up Green to use as a comparison to justify his tenor here. WHY IS THAT???????????

Its simple Green is brought up because thats the guy we replaced him with. When you speak about Brett Favre the next name most people think of is Aaron Rodgers its really that simple.
Name of any Qb that with no training camp, no preseason and not signed until after half the season is over could do much better with that dreadful Lions team.
I have never said Daunte played well for us. When we traded for Daunte most fans knew he would not be ready to start the season and were fine with that and know thats the reason we signed Harrington as an insurance policy. He should have never been named starter at that point and we should have gave him more time, he was not moving at all like he should.
The entire season was a disaster and he not only was not very mobile but we had a pitiful oline which is definately not a tonic for a qb coming off of injury.
The next year we get a new coach who basically trys to jerk Culpepper around as he signs his buddy trent Green who was just as bad as Culpepper was the previous year. I dont blame Culpepper for what happened in his time in Miami, injuries happen and some players never come back from them. The reason Culpepper and green are always linked in Miami is one replaced the other. Both were horrible in Miami, neither played well. Neither was a winner, neither one of them groomed anybody. They were both a waste of a draft pick and time here.
I just think its pure lack of knowledge that some people try to make Culpepper out to be the worst Qb ever. He had three great seasons and Moss or not you cannot take that away. Moss never turned any qb in Oakland into a pro bowler so its a BS excuse.
As bad as Culpepper is now there are other qb's that have played just as bad and worse, and have better teams as well as full training camps around them.
Examples Trent Green 0 tds 6 int 41 qb rating
Brad Johnson 2 tds 5 int 50 qb rating witht the friggin Cowboys
Matt Hasselback 5 tds 9 int 54 rating
All of these qb's had a full training camp and are doing similar. Daunte has never had this low of a rating in his career and Im damn sure that even though he is but a shadow of himself he would have done better with a training camp.
You asked what did Daunte do as a dolphin, I will say not much.
His Stats as a dolphin
Started 4 games . team record with him as qb 1-3. Lost at Pitt by 11, lost to buffalo by 10 and beat Tennessee by 3 as well as lost to Houston by 2 much like we did this year.
Completed 60 percent of his passes 2tds 3 int was sacked 21 times which speaks to his lack of mobility at the time and the poor oline play. Had a 77 Qb rating which is basically mid pack in football not great , not awful. No lost fumbles but did fumble three times which usually happens when you are sacked that many times. He has been a fumbler throughout his career anyway.
Lets check his replacement basically 4 games was injured at begginning of 5th. Completed 60 percent of his passes 5 tds 7 int 72 percent Qb rating.
Team record with green 0-4 we were close in two games and the lost the other two by an average of 17 points. He was sacked only 9 times and fumbled twice not losing any.
Cleo Lemon, John Beck and Joey harrington none were notably better than Culpepper but we dont have this endless bash a thon . Some people are simply mad that they are wrong that Daunte would never start in the NFL again I think. Personally Detroit should have went with stanton since he had been there and Daunte should have signed with Pittsburgh. The funny thing is that early in the game versus the Bucs you could see Daunte doing some good things but Im sure if it stayed that way we would not hear this crap on the board about him.
I personally wanted Drew Brees as our Qb, but I applaud Saban for trying to upgrade qb and wish he would have stayed here so we did not start a whole new plan the next year. I also applaud Cameron for drafting a qb, even if it was the wrong one, because prior to him we refused to draft a qb for some damn reason. Im not a Daunte fan, have no Daunte merchandise but I will give him his proper due. He was mishandled from day one here so how can I blame him for not playing well after such a serious injury. Some player's never make it back to the NFL at all. Daunte was put into a no win situation here that just escalated with the idiotic handling of the next season by our incompetent dumbnamic duo Mueller and Cameron. If you want to hate someone hate on Cam/Mueller the duo that almost put us back in the record books.

Nah, I'll just hate on Daunte.
