I'm sure all of you heard and read bunch of crap regarding Daunte. Some "journalists" say that this was a very bad move on our part (i don't see how but whatever)
I just read another article by a SI guy Don Banks
He lists QBs that are most likely to succeed this year with their new teams. Rated in order from most likely to succed to least.
1. Drew Brees, New Orleans (surgery on his throwing shoulder, really crappy team)
2. Jon Kitna, Detroit (WOW,just no comments. Kitna AND Detroit? That's like the ultimate LOSER combination right there)
3. Patrick Ramsey, Jets (are they even gonna win a game this year?? and Ramsey who couldn't win the starting job from Brunell?? )
4. Finally he's got Daunte at 4!!! :fire:
Here's what he said:
"Here's the flaw in the logic that says Culpepper will have a quick and painless transition in the Dolphins' offense, because Miami will run the same attack used in 2005 by former Dolphins offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who brought that system with him from Minnesota: How come that same offense, which was kept in place by Vikings offensive coordinator Steve Loney last season, didn't help Culpepper avoid the worst stretch of his seven-year career, when he threw 12 interceptions with just six touchdowns in his injury-shortened seven-game season?
Culpepper has a lot to prove in Miami, and it starts with whether or not he'll return as good as new from the surgery that rebuilt his right knee after he tore three different ligaments last October at Carolina. If that part of the equation comes off without a hitch, he still has to convince skeptics around the league that he can produce at 2004 levels without Linehan's direction and calming influence on his game. While we have a good deal of respect for new Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, and believe he'll eventually find ways to best use Culpepper's talents, the hunch here is that Culpepper will be guilty at times of trying to do too much in an effort to totally erase the stench of his abysmal 2005 season. When he presses, Culpepper's game unravels and things get ugly, kind of the way his tenure did in Minnesota."

How is that hating?
Heck, most of those points were raised here when the debate was to get Culpepper or Brees.
Culpepper isn't a sure thing.
Even when healthy, he could possibly suck.
I hope he does well, but you never know.
 
Saying that Ramsey AND Kitna are more likely to succeed? Are you kidding me? what is it then?

Well man, let's see. Maybe a lack of a good offensive line, a running game, any playmakers at wide receiver? He's got at least 5 reasons that he WILL succeed in Miami. Chris Chambers, Marty Booker, Randy McMichael, Ronnie Brown, Possibly Ricky Williams, Chad Jackson, Santonio Holmes. A much improved offensive line. "He'll try to do too much and unravel?" Is he kidding me? Banks obviously doesn't realize that not all situations are the same and that change is just that, CHANGE!!!! In this case, I believe a change for the better. He has no need to press here and do too much, because he has playermakers as I listed above that he can get the ball to and let them do what they do best, while he does what he does best.
 
What I don't get is why Brad Childress doesn't get off Culppeper's nuts already. I think he must be pissed that they couldn't keep him and now he has no quarterback for is first season.
 
Pep will be fine! As I've posted before last year he had nothing... he was guilty of trying to do to much, he doesn't have to do that here, we have far too many weapons for him to even think he does! He's proven he can play at the top level in this league, a little piece of last season and everyone thinks he sucks? Just sit back and watch...
 
What's up with the media hating Culpepper? I can give you two words...Brad Childress. Childress has constantly attacked Culpepper in the media and it's paying off. Daunte is coming across as a selfish and immature. These are the kind of athletes the media loves to attack.
 
Whats with you caring about what the media says? What he or any other reporter says bears no result on what really happens.

Just someone's opinion, big deal
 
yeah that guy is an idot!
haha Jon Kitna and the Lions makes my laugh.
I think Drew Brees will struggle next year, just becuase the saints dont have any offence to help him.

I wouldnt be that bothered to be honest. Im not. I dont agree with his comments because the guy sounds like he is looking at it from the viewpoint hes still at the Vikings and hes returning for the same team. Not best write up from a journalist ive seen. Very unimaginative and limited in seeing the bigger picture is you ask me.
 
This is a post of enlightenment.

I recently stopped watching ESPN, except for the occasional update. I stopped reading the sports section of the newspaper as well. I only read it during football season anyway. Since then, I have been enjoying the offseason MUCH more. I get my info from miamidolphins.com or here at finheaven. I get my info straight from the Miami Dolphins and their fans.

Are you ready for the piece of enlightenment? WHEN OBTAINING INFO, ALWAYS CONSIDER THE SOURCE. Some people do not care if the Dolphins do well this year. Other people hope that the Dolphins bomb and finish last. If you get info from sources like those, they will only put doubt in your mind.

Keep your sources in house. Come to your own conclusions. Stop letting ESPN tell you who the best team will be in 2006. I watched the Culpepper press conference in full off of miamidolphins.com. That is the latest piece of info about Dante. My take was that he seems much more mature than the guy who played for the Vikings. He also seemed like a guy that knows he has some hurdles to overcome with the injury. And he plans to do everything possible to overcome and be ready on opening day. What more do you need than that?

GO FINS!!! :dolphins:
