Dante Culpepper - Future Hall of Famer or Washed-Out?

[Rich]

Manning - 144 games, 37,000 yards(257/game), 139 ints (.97 ints per game)(1.91 TD/game)
Brady - 94 games started, 21,000 yards(223/game), 78 ints (.83 ints per game)(1.56 TD/game)
*********
Marino, 240 games, 61,361 yards(256/game), 252 ints (1.05 ints per game)(1.75 TD/game)
Culpepper - 84 games, 21,000 yards(250/game), 89 ints (1.06 ints per game)(1.63 TD/game)
Harrington - 66 games, 12,478 yards(189/game), 77 ints (1.17 ints per game)(1.09 TD/game)

Culpepper doesn't throw a whole lot of interceptions. He has a pretty good TD/int ratio. He has pretty good yards/game. Yards per attempt is 7.7, like Marino.

If you were to add Culpepper's 2,500 rushing yards and 30 TD's rushing... He looks pretty darn good statistically. (280 yards/game and 1.99 TD's/game)

*********
Unrelated... Manning is on pace to match Marino's stats. Can he stay healthy for another 6 seasons?

 

[FemaleFinFan]

Why can't he be both?

 

[PhinfanUK]

Don't waste your breath man, most people on here will just ignore your facts.

 

[PBFloyd]

DC is washed up, his ability to run is gone and he has to rely on his ability to only throw the ball.

Satan screwed up and should of got Bree's :tantrum:

Here we go again..........yet another person on here trying to convince us about Daunte Culpepper......... this forum is like a broken record sometimes.

Brees - 227 YPG, 1.41 TD/Game, .865 int/game
Brees(2006) - 276 YPG, 1.63 TD/Game, .69 int/game
*******
Except for this year, Culpepper is statistically better than Brees.

And how do these great stats help the Dolphins win more games? He sucked when he played at the beginning of the year and then he just sat collecting paychecks. Here are some other facts: He's sucked the last two years and hasn't done anything for this team except generate pure hype.

 

[PHINANALYST]

Not sure how we can even entertain this idea at this piont ...

Culpepper would have to 'double' his current stats to be even considered ... and at this point, that is such a reach .... 'could' it happen - sure ... and for our sake, I hope it does --- but again, he'd need another solid 6 years of performance to even be considered !!

 

[BLITZKRIEG]

Bottom Line : Culpepper was Saban's mistake. Cameron shouldn't make it his too. New coach, new QB, move on....

PHINZ RULE!!!!

You are leaving out the fact that his prior stats were not gained by solely throwing the ball and I would say DC ran the ball more then 60% of the time before the injury. Now that he can no longer run he is no good.

If you add Culpeppers rushing yards into his passing numbers... Culpepper is STATISTICALLY the greatest QB in NFL History.

Shouldn't we put him through another training camp and see what he can do, before throwing him in the trash? Is it fair to judge an injured player?

"DC ran the ball more then 60% of the time before the injury."
--464 rushes, 2741 passes - 14.5% rushes (5.5 rushes/game - 30 yards/game)

AMEN to that!

I dont think culpepper will be either, a hall of famer, or washed out just yet. I think culpepper still has a chance to go down in history as a winning qb. If hes able to work on his knee this offseason, that gives him a good chance to lead this team.

Huh? What are you talking about? No QB can throw for more than 3,000 yards in a season if he ran 60% of the time? If you are going to playa hate atleast do it with the right stats and not something you made up.

You are correct if you factor in his rushing yards.

Also you just answered my next question, which is since he is a ground based QB that is only good b/c he can work magic by scrambling (not passing) then why should we take the chance of wasting another season by giving him a fair shot.

If Ronnie Brown had an ACL tear do you think the Dolphins would keep him, heck no they would trade or cut him very fast because runners don't recover from ACL's, and the few that do always re-injure them.

DC was a great QB because of his rushing abilities not b/c of his passing skills, if we give him a shot then other QB's that don't want to compete and be part of a QB controversy are not going to think of Miami as an option.
