It's Culpepper. How can you expect a line to block for a guy who holds on to the ball way too long, and on top of that, is the least mobile QB in the NFL. The O-Line got a lot of blame last year, and yet we were a lot better offensively. Most not be them.
The O-Line isn't the main problem.

we were alot better offensively? we average 13 points a game until the that magical 6 game win streak. give me a break.
OLine is horrible. bottom line.

He's not 100% because of the injury, but to say he's the least mobile QB in the NFL is an ignorant statement. If you actually watch the games, you'd notice that he's moving around fairly well, and certainly better than a lot of other QB's.

Our O-line IS the problem....But Daunte DOES needs to get rid of the ball when no one is open....I guess the line and Daunte deserve the blame.

are you blind??? he got of 2 sacks because of his mobilty.
The line is letting guys through or we are getting penalties and backing us up because they jump or they hold. Then we are stuck on 3rd and long Cpep has to wait for them to get down 10 yards and by that time gets sacked. he dosnt have any time to go through his reads.

Do you even watch the games? The main problem, which is the biggest problem with this team is the offensive line. I understand that your frustrated. A lot of people thought D.C was gonna be J.C. You can't put all the blame on one guy. You want to know why Miami is 1-3? Because of the offensive line, the defensive back field, and bad play calling.

But you can't just throw the ball away while you are in the pocket. You have to get outside of the pocket in order to throw it away. And if you stay in the pocket and throw it away, there has to be a receiver in the area. But if you try to throw it away while in the pocket, and get hit, or don't throw it in the right area, then you could get the ball intercepted. And that is never a good thing. I think that the o-line needs to block better, and the receivers need to get open. That will make our offense a lot better.

I'm not one of the ones tooting Culpeppers horn by any means. The guy is having problems even when he gets time to survey the field and throw the ball.
However, I can't disagree with you more that Culpepper is a bigger problem than the OL.
The unit is horribly inconsistent. As it stands we may have 2 solid starters on the line maybe none.
Carey has been getting praise and Jeno James was considered a solid Guard before coming here but he has struggled as well.
Hadnot has had flashes while he played at Guard but he clearly wasn't ready to handle a move to Center.
The other Guard and Tackle spots are fried.
On another note just wait to we start playing some solid offenses if you want to see a real disaster unfold. The weakness of our secondary has just begun to become exposed.

O-Line was seriously bad in the first half of the last season. It was penalties, penalties, penalties! They improved yes but this O-Line is at this point BAD. players are getting manhandled by supposeldly weaker D-Lines. Culpepper will be better behind a better line that can block and create running lanes for Ronnie. Right now teams are blitzing like mad because they all know what we know. Its not rocket science.

I'm not putting all the blame on Culpepper at all. But I'm also not putting it all on the O-Line either. I'm just saying our line sucked last season, and our offense was a lot better with a second rate QB, and that is a fact. The last two weeks we have played two of the worst defenses in the NFL and we still couldn't move the ball!

The O-line is 80% the problem on offence...I say that because I think CPEP is only about 80% healthy, which leaves about 20% of the problem with him,and the OC play calling...Some here are saying he holds the ball too long....Christ, He's too busy running for his life. Theres more penatration in the O-line than there is with high-school girls on prom night... I all seriousness, in the last four games, I've only seen a couple of occasions where I thought he held the ball too long....But I cant make judgement on that, because I didn't see the rest of the field, or review the tapes..As I said before. Marino could be in there under centre...The results would be the same....Until the 0-line thightens up, it make no sense to make a QB change....Because the QB is not the problem.
