First off, Linehan didn't make Moss into ANYTHING........if anything, Moss made Linehan look like a brilliant coordinator. Moss was there before Linehan and was dominating. Linehan had little to no effect on Randy's production. Not a knock on Linehan, I still think he's a solid coordinator and that he had a big part in Daunte's developement.
Second - As much as I respect Culpepper's ability (he's unquestionabley one of the top-5 QB's in the league and a case can be made that he's 2nd best).......Don't use the "what would Randy have done with Fiedler" arguments.....because the answer is simple....Randy would have made Jay look very good.
Just like he has with Randall Cunningham, Jeff George, Todd Bauman, and Gus Frerotte. Hell, in 1998, Randy's rookie year, Jay actually threw seven passes for the Vikings and only threw 1 INT!! Not too bad for Jay! Imagine he had time to get in rhythm!!
