I know some of you will not like this tread.(so dont scroll down) With our play lately, all I can do is look for things to piss me off more. Next year should be a breakout year for our team! This is why. Tell me your opinion.

QB: D. Culpepper
HB: R. Brown
FB: Free Agent
WR: C. Chambers
WR: M. Booker
LT: L. Shelton
LG: J. James
C: S. McKinney
RG: R. Hadnot
RT: V. Carey

DE: J. Taylor
DT: V. Holliday
DT: Free Agent (if there are some retirements)
DE: K. Carter
LB: C. Crowder
LB: Z. Thomas
LB: Draft Pick (1st-3rd Round pick)
DB: Draft Pick (1st-3rd Round Pick)
DB: W. Allen
DB: T. Daniels
DB: J. Allen
 
Terrible idea to go with Culpepper again. You can't fix stupid.

As for the rest of the offense, if a playmaker WR and an upgrade on the left side of the OL is not accomplished during the offseason then next year will look a lot like this year IMO.
 
you cant fix stupid? wow, and joey who has thrown twice as many interceptions in less games is smart? daunte was injured, not stupid. stupid quarterbacks dont go to the probowl and set nfl records
 
QB: D. Culpepper yes, give the guy a FAIR chance
HB: R. Brown yes, with a nice compliment of Ricky. get rid of Morris.
FB: Free Agent Barnes is fine, i mean cmon, he beat out beasely.
WR: C. Chambers He would make a really good #2 with Calvin Johnson, not next year, but a couple years down the road. Of course im WAY ahead of myself :D
WR: M. Booker i really, really, really want CJ. and if that happens Booker is gone.
LT: L. Shelton Oh please no. (seems like the Alabi experiment isnt working) maybe that guy from Arizona as a FA, but i really want a goot LT from the draft like Joe Thomas or Baker, but i already used my top 3 pick on CJ. :lol:
LG: J. James
C: S. McKinney remember before training camp when everyone wanted to dump him. Hes not that good, hes a backup. i'd rather have Hadnot here.
RG: R. Hadnot Toledo maybe
RT: V. Carey
The O-line needs to be revamped thats for sure. We have showed improvement as of late so im not going to pass too much judgement on a position i dont know much about.
DE: J. Taylor how can u say anything bad about him, especially after today. a replacement will be needed soon tho.
DT: V. Holliday his contract is up. is it worth resigning him? maybe, but we have some young prospects waiting in the wings...it might be time to get younger.
DT: Free Agent (if there are some retirements) we dont need a FA, we're old enough on the d-line. Big Daddy is still here, plus the young guns. Draft choice is another possibility.
DE: K. Carter this is position is set for now, Roth will be his successor.
LB: C. Crowder
LB: Z. Thomas theres no way im ditching Zach. a lot of people like the idea of dumping him, but i couldnt do that. we wouldnt get what he is worth.
LB: Draft Pick (1st-3rd Round pick) agreed, ditch Spragan, he is a non-factor on D. use a day 1 pick on a LB
DB: Draft Pick (1st-3rd Round Pick) would love to pick up a db in the draft, preferably in the 1st day, just not sure it could happen with my scenario. Taking CJ round 1, plus a LB and an OL in 2nd and 3rd rounds. but if BPA was a db, then take him.
DB: W. Allen hes not a #1 cb, i would love to pick up a good cb in FA, possibly Clements. not too sure about other FA cbs next year. then we could slide W. Allen to the #2 spot.
DB: T. Daniels hes not a good #2 cb. if above happens, Daniels would be the nickel/star in the secondary. we could use a lot of nickel defense...actually i wont get into that because im definetly not Saban.:lol:
DB: J. Allen NEEDS to start at FS/RS (whatever you call it) next year

I usually dont post things like this, but i thought i would give it a shot. I didnt really address the o-line too much because i dont know much about the other options available next year ala the draft and FA, so i just gave them a day 1 pick and left it at that. As you can see, im in love with that WR from GT. I usually like to draft guys on D because i believe that defense wins championships, but CJ just amazes me.

I never mentioned Joey. I would prefer another opintion. However, if the only option was to choose between those two I would definitely choose Joey. Daunte's injury magnified his limitations as a QB which are mental...meaning his decision making (poor and slow). In Minnesota he was able to get away with it bc of the surrounding talent and his ability to buy time with his mobility and size. Once Daunte doesn't have "great" talent around him he is exposed (2005 & 2006). The Dolphins don't have enough talent on offense to cover his limitations.

The bigger concern is even when Daunte was surrounded with "great" talent he still was a losing QB. Smart QBs find ways to win games. Daunte is 28-43 in his last 71 starts while being surrounded with some outstanding talent over most of that time.

Everyone wants to throw out 2004 as proof that Culpepper is great. Just about every QB put up career numbers that year...it was the year the refs through a flag if the DBs even looked at WRs and almost every QB had their numbers inflated. 2004 IS THE WRONG YEAR TO JUDGE QBs. Joey had 19 TD passes and only 12 int. It is why Manning went from 29 TD passes in 03 to 49 in 04 and then 28 in 05. If you go compare the QBs passing numbers in 2004 with 2003 and 2005 you will see what I am refering to.

Even during 04 Culpepper only led Minnesota to an 8-8 record...started the year 5-1 and closed the year 3-7 (Daunte led teams have a pattern of collapsing during the end of the year). The only team with a winning record a Daunte led team has beaten in the years 2004, 2005 and 2006 is the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2004 who were 9-7. So I stand by my statement that going with Culpepper next year is a bad idea bc "you can't fix stupid."

Daunte can put up good numbers against bad defense but he simply is not smart enough to lead any team to several wins in a row over playoff caliber teams. He sure didn't come close to doing it in Minnesota. Look what happened when Saban / Mularkey put the ball in his hands to beat Pitt in week 1...two pics game over. The reason Culpepper only threw one more pic the next three weeks was a combination of going up against poor defenses and he simply stopped taking chances unless the defenses went into soft coverages in the 4th quarter which, of course, is when he threw his TD passes.

we are in a salary cap hell the coaching seems worse than when wanstedt was here more turnovers penalties etc. all we can do is retain cheaper talent because the older exspensive talent is getting us zero results and the recivers wow they have hands like that lil blk kid on the lil giants
 
wow. u really dont like daunte. i mean, to pull out the excuse that in 2004 all qbs did relatively better is quite a stretch, even if it is true, he was still the 2nd best qb that year. and in 2003 he was the 3rd highest rated passer, behind the co MVP's mcnair and manning. i agree, good quarterbacks find a way to win games, and culpepper hasnt been able to do that. but that doesnt mean that he cant now for a different organization. the vikings had poor coaching during those years. Green and Tice, quite the combo huh.

all im saying is to give him a chance. you're immediately writing him off, before he is even able to run the offense, as a healthy qb. u dont go to the pro bowl for being an average qb, unless ur steve mcnair last year.

Actually I was excited when he was traded to Miami. I thought he would be a good addition. I just didn't develop a woody for the guy like it appears some people have. When I watched him play against Pitt and choke in the 4th Quarter I thought "uh oh" and by the end of the Buffalo game I was convinced he wasn't the QB advertised in the offseason and TC. When I did a little research I could clearly see what all the Viking fans that logged on to finheaven were saying about him was true. He really is way overrated. The games against the Titans and Texans did nothing to change my mind.

You mention 2003. Well, Gus Frerotte got a little playing time that year and had a 118.1 QB rating and 2-0 record compared to Culpepper's 96.4 QB rating and 7-7 record. Every year the #2 gets in they have outplayed Daunte. IMO Culpepper truly has been blessed to be surrounded by the talent he had in Minnesota. He probably walked onto a team that had more offensive talent than any other QB ever has (Warner with the Rams may be the only exception).

I would love for Culpepper to be the real deal, but there is nothing I have seen on the field of play to indicate he is and plenty to indicate he isn't. I am not a hater, but I definitely don't understand the serious "man crush" that is going on with a guy who has done nothing but brought disaster to my beloved Dolphins. And I know I don't want to spend next year going through the same thing that is happening this year. Dolphins above Daunte!!!
 
sign eric johnson if the niners dont resign him which i dont think they will with vernon davis, and johnson can catch the ball and block well,
