Daunte Culpepper, from Vikings to Dolphins (Great Move)
There hasn’t been a live arm in Miami since the late 1990s, the twilight of Dan Marino’s career, just before the Hall of Famer really started showing his age. Then interceptions started being returned for touchdowns, the ultimate insult to a proud warrior. It’s a sure sign of the end of a quarterback's days when cornerbacks are jumping his receiver's routes and it’s six the other way. The pride remains, but the arm can’t do it anymore. I remember how Bill Parcells described the symptoms of decline.
“What happens as quarterbacks get older is that they just won’t pull the trigger,†he said. “It’s not that they don’t know what to do, but they want to be perfect before they throw it. They’re torn between the turnover  which they don’t want to make because it’s a killer  and throwing the ball when the separation between the receiver and the defender isn’t quite enough. They’re not confident throwers anymore like when they were younger. That’s one of the first signs of a quarterback not being able to do the job well anymore.â€Â
With the arrival of Culpepper, the Dolphins have a live arm again. Just two years ago in Minnesota, his quarterback rating was 110.9, with 39 TD passes and 4,717 yards. Superstar production. But the Vikings let him go for pocket change, a second-round draft pick, and that means he must also come with some heavy baggage. Something about attitude.
However, I’m not really sure he had great coaching in Minnesota, the necessary mental sharpening. There were too many times when things would get sloppy for that Vikings offense, too many breakdowns in tight spots, the up-for-grabs heaves. Correctable problems that were allowed to linger.
Somehow, I think Culpepper will emerge as a different player in Miami. Nick Saban is a no-nonsense coach, a perfectionist, so expect to see a new layer of seriousness and discipline injected into Culpepper’s game, more leadership and control. I see the Dolphins reaching the AFC title game because of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
