ALL PAIN, NO GAIN TRAIN
I was reading this article about pep, and it really made me think of the
potential our offense has with a legit QB.

An update on the Culpepper rehab saga

Ever since the Miami Dolphins traded for Daunte Culpepper, much of the local water cooler banter has focused on his rehab status and his prospects for the 2006 season. And why not? Culpepper represents the first legitimate "franchise" quarterback that the Dolphins have had since Dan Marino retired. The former Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowler is also likely to cement the legacy that head coach Nick Saban will leave on this franchise, for better or for worse.
Thus far the news has been all good. He has been running and throwing during offseason drills, and was recently given a positive report by Dr. James Andrews, the world-reknowned orthopedic surgeon that performed Culpepper's procedure. Also, in a recent interview, linebacker Channing Crowder remarked about how impressive Culpepper's arm strength has been thus far. According to Crowder, the zip on his passes made it virtually impossible for him to hold on to would-be interceptions. He also stated that several receivers seemed to be rubbing their chests and grimacing in pain after catching some of Culpepper's zingers.
Obviously, the first real test will come when he takes a shot below the waist or makes a hard cut or two, but if he's doing that kind of damage with his arm in May, just imagine what he'll be capable of come September. The Miami Dolphins have a solid "backup" plan in Joey Harrington, but if the rehab continues to progress the way it has been, Daunte Culpepper could be hurting the opposition (instead of his own receivers) come Week 1.
