I've heard some question Culpep's intelligence, inability to read defenses, etc. Is there any truth to this? Maybe some Vikings fans will chime in.
 
I've herd this before too and today's game adds some truth to it. He missed a wide open chambers on one play and a wide open Welker on the other.
 
Some already have:

Expect some of your highest highs and lowest lows with him at the helm. It's the norm.

Culpepper will fold during crunch time against good Ds. He has never been a comeback guy. The only thing he was missing is fumbles during crucial moments in the game last night. The biggest concern you should have about Daunte is that he turns it around quickly. He has a very fragile ego and once the press and fans turn on him he will take a nose-dive.

Flame me if you want. I've watched him play every NFL game he has played in and he's fun to watch. He still has a lot of room for improvement in reading defenses.

You have to know that before he threw that pick the coaches were telling him to be smart with the ball.

Look at this article it is one of the best written I've seen and Landry doesn't try to dumb it down either.

excerpt:
He can read defenses but he is often late and lacks timing with his reads. He is definitely a quarterback who can be schemed up by teams with multiple-front looks and movements as well as different coverage looks. Often he will be quick to go to his check down options, failing to let route progressions develop enough. Other times, he will be late delivering the ball on his downfield routes. This is consistent with a quarterback who lacks timing in his reads.

His best success as a quarterback – under current Rams head coach Scott Linehan when he was offensive coordinator with the Vikings – was when he was given half-field reads and worked heavily off play action, which by design gives a quarterback a simple two-option read.

​
Yeah, that sounds about right, and exactly like what his critics like myself have been saying all along, back even before the disastrous trade.
 
i don't know about daunte's ability to read defenses and such, but he does sound like a ******* whenever he's on television speaking.
 
Honestly, this thread should be banned! If he was a "white QB" would his intelligence or lack thereof even come into question? Don't say it would because it would not!! :tantrum:

He has done well enough to have one of the best passer ratings and completion percentages in NFL history don't know how much that has to do with intelligence or that he can just play!
 
color isn't an issue here. if he played this bad and sounded as dumb as peyton manning, we would be talking about the same thing.

UGH! Jeff George had the exact same question marks as did Ryan Leaf and Heath Shuler, talented QB's who had question marks when it came to decision making.
 
Oh and you can throw Akili Smith, Chris Simms, and Jake Plummer in there as well.

Yeah and they all sucked, Dante is one of the elite QB's in the leaugue and his credibility is still in question. Think about it! Micheal Vick doesn't excactly get praised for his QB play either.

Vick does not turn the ball over as much as Culpepper either. Answer this question honestly isn't Culpepper the same QB as Plummer? Both have talent , no question, but both turn the ball over and cost their teams wins. I still think Dante is more talented than Freotte but he needs to manage the game as well.

This has nothing to do with him being a black or white QB. He had wide open receivers open but didn't get ball out quick enough. He often overthrew his receivers as well.
