For the sake of comparison I broke down Culpeppers rating and converted all fumbles lost to interceptions.
Culpeppers QB rating for his career is 95.5, his adjusted rating would go from an outstanding 95.5 to 86.2.
I broke down the 6 highest rated QB in the league last year and adjusted their career stats the same way as I did Culpeppers. All fumbles lost now equal interceptions. The QBs are listed in the order that they finished the season relative (:D) to unadjusted QB rating.
1. P Manning-adjusted career rating-93.5, 43 fumbles, none lost.
2. C Palmer- adjusted career rating-90.2, 7 fumbles ,none lost but only 2 years of NFL stats.
3. Rothlessburger-adjusted career rating-98.3, 4 fumbles, none lost again only two years of NFL stats.
4. M Hasselback- adjusted career rating-86.6, 25 fumbles, none lost.
5. M Bulger-adjusted career rating-87.0, 19 fumbles, 13 lost.
6. T Brady-adjusted career rating-88.3, 47 fumbles, none lost.

Culpeppers career rating of 86.2 would rank him last among this group of QBs. I am undecided about how much I want him but I thought for the sake of comparison I would break it down since he does fumble a lot and just comparing QB rating to QB rating isn't an accurate reflections of how many turnovers a QB is responsible for.
-Note-Its worth pointing out that the unbelievable rating of Rothlessburger was on an offense that featured the run more than any other of the group. I believe in his rookie year he was asked to throw the ball less than any other starter.

The three qbs who look like they may be available are ranked like this after adjusted ratings-
1-Bulger-87.0
2-Culpepper-86.2
3-Brees-83.8

Edit-Another user pointed out that for the rating to truly reflect the effect that a qb has on an offense you should also figure in rushing yards and rushing tds to give a true "net effect rating" these updated career stats are as follows.
1-Rothlesburger-adjusted rating-102.3
2.Manning-adjusted rating-94.8
3.Palmer-adjusted rating-91.3
4Bulger adjusted rating-89.3
tied for 5th
Hasselback and Brady-adjusted rating-88.7

Culpepper-adjusted rating 93.8.
This net effect rating would rank Culpepper third behind only Big Ben and Manning

Possible available qb ratings-
Culpepper-93.8
Bulger-89.3
Brees-85.3

I did not add anything to the passing attempt or completions since a qb who runs more would have added passing attempts which would then also have to be counted as pass completions which would unfairly raise the rating.

Edit-Dang it, if I had titled this "the adjusted ratings of QBs linked to Miami" I could have put this in the main foum.
