Couple of good tidbits in here about the dolphins. Discusses whether Daunte will be ready, but then asks will we get the 2004 Daunte or the 2005 Daunte. His analysis was actually what we've been saying in here hey ny jets fan (i forget his name) are you reading?

Culpepper is a phenomenal talent with some yips in his game. He still holds the ball longer than most coaches would like, and he got away with that in the past because of his athletic ability and the fact that Randy Moss cured a lot of evils. Culpepper's failures in 2005 with the Minnesota Vikings are not solely because of Moss' departure. Culpepper also lost Pro Bowl center Matt Birk and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. That's a trifecta of ugliness that even the best quarterbacks don't survive.

But if you really examine Culpepper's last year in Minnesota, he had two horrible games to open the season, including a five-interception debacle against Cincinnati where he threw four of the picks in the second half after the game was already out of hand. From there, he was OK, playing two very good games. Culpepper is also motivated to prove people wrong, particularly Vikings coach Brad Childress. Under the organization of Dolphins head coach Nick Saban and the tutelage of experienced offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, a return to form is a good bet for Culpepper.

Also talks about Jason Allen and Michael Huff being the rookies with a best chance to contribute.

good read.

Thanks jdang307. I see Jason Cole is getting comfortable with his new gig.

He thinks that the Chargers are going to make it to the AFC title game. I think that is a little farfetched. Phillip Rivers could take them to the playoffs, but i don't see him getting them to the championship game. I guess Big Ben did it his first year though.

Every day I think I have reached my peak of excitement for Daunte to play with us. Yet each day I surpass my previous excitement reading more and more about our new QB.

Am I the only one here who is just picturing him playing for us in the opening night game? If you sit and really think, look at what we have. We haven't had a guy like this in 6 years and have dealt with QBs that were bottom tier of the league. Man I cannot wait to see him under center. Just picture it and you will smile! :)

Who is Michael Huff? did I miss something?

Mike Huff is a rookie for Oakland. Did anybody see this:

Among the Titans, Jets, Bills, Houston Texans, Browns and Raiders, which rebuilding team is in the best position right now?

You can eliminate Buffalo because the quarterback position is a disaster and the offensive line isn't far behind.

haha, JP Losman.

And whats with dismissing the Colts' loss of James? "James wasn't the breakaway threat he had been in previous years." WTF, he had a 1500 yard season and now Indy has no legit running game. The Colts still have a heck of a passing game but their offense w/out James is going to be a change for the worse.
