1. The biggest telling stat between winning and losing in the NFL is TURNOVERS! Culpepper averages 1 INT and 1 FUMBLE every game. Not something that we can afford to have on this team.
2. Many players struggle with recovering for ACL or MCL tears. The fact is Culpepper tore every ligament in his knee. Not only may he not be as good, he might not even make it back.
3. Daunte is going to be dragging his leg around for half the season, and even when he does come back his risk of reinjuring that knee is greatly increased.
4. I know that Daunte had a great year a couple years ago, and we even mentioned in the same breath with Peyton, but without Moss he was nothing last year. I'm mean its one thing to go from a really good QB to a good QB, but its another thing to go from a really good QB to a flat out bad QB.
There is way too much negative that is against Culpepper, for me to be comfortable with taking him on this team. Much less people forget that as of right now we would have to give up a draft pick to get him. People need to start looking deeper than Madden before they start advocating to get a QB here that might not ever even take a snap for the Fins if we sign him. We would be missing out on one of the best offseason chances to fix a position that we are really weak in, on a QB that might not play again.
I do trust Saban to do what is right, and I will support his decision, but I will really need to be convinced why it was the right decision before I like it.
great post sham... and even greater avatar :wink:
