Dante Culpepper?

[A Perfect Score]

What happened to this guy? At this time last year, he was Miami's next Dan Marino, and now he's nowhere to be found. He was supposed to be the QB of the future in Miami. And now there is all this talk of bringing in Trent Green and drafting Brady Quinn, where does Culpepper fit in? I mean he has had his troubles, but he threw for 4700 yards not long ago. He is a physical specimen with tons of potential, why is he jsut being discarded in Miami?

[portermvp84]

I think what they are trying to do is find a guy who can get the job doen while Culpeper is recovering. I could see the Dolphins bringing in a guy like Trent Green so they don't get on to a rough start like they did at the begining of the season.

He had a horrible year last year and has been horrible for 2 seasons in a row. Can't stick with a guy like this forever.

[NIN1984]

rotoworld.com said he may very well get cut, He’s just not healthy right now but I’m sure he could make a come back maybe not in Miami but someone will give him a shot.

I don't think anything will happen till after the draft if Miami does get Quinn Culpepper will be good as gone.

[bigbluedefense]

His leg almost fell off. Thats what happened.

[TitleTown088]

HIs " roll" was ******* stupid, and he knew it. Culpepper simply needed to take a season off to figure out some new ******** move. That was the problem.

[draftguru151]

We are bringing in Green as insurance in case Culpepper never gets his old form back. The only thing that has come from Cameron this offseason is that he likes what he sees from Culpepper working to get ready for next year. Green may come in and be the 3rd QB behind Culpepper and Lemon. As far as drafting Quinn all that is is speculation. He struggled last season because he was rushed back and rehurt his knee. Him getting written off after one injured season is pretty ridiculous IMO.

Well actually its one injured season and on craptasticly terrible season. He looked absolutely lost without Moss in Minnesota. But yeah it is still soon to write him off even though the vultures are defininitely circling.

[draftguru151]

His last season in Minnesota was so much more than the loss of Moss.

[princefielder28]

Culpepper will never be a threat to NFL team again becuase I doubt he'll get the mobility that he had prior to the injury back. He can throw the ball well but the way he was able to alude defenders is what mad him tough and he's lost that

No way IMO Green is your 3rd QB 2nd I can see but 3rd come on.

[Jimmy]

in the grand scheme of things with the money teams are spending on different players, its absolutely nothing to have 2 highly paid QBS

[draftguru151]

That's what I heard. Cleo Lemon isn't just some nobody. He'll be fighting for the starting spot just like Green and Culpepper assuming they are all on the team next year.

[princefielder28]

Cleo isn't as bad as people think. I remember two preseasons ago he lit up the Packers when he was in there and I remember saying who the hell is Cleo Lemon. Well, you know what Cleo could be a starting QB in this league given some of the starters out there.

[ninerfan]

His leg almost fell off. Thats what happened.

From what I hear the Vikings lost faith when he started 'rehabbing' at a medical center in a suburban shopping strip and working out in the carpark. Dunno how true that was but he's been on the slide since then

[Moses]

Culpepper needs Moss.

[swagger]

Mashed potato knee.

He was terrible in minnesota before he injured his knee, the season before he came to miami.

[D-Unit]

The problem is sex boats. Culpepper was able to finally find 1 in Minnesota... In Miami... that's all he does. In Popeye's words, "Sailing, sailing, sailing across the sea...!"

Adam Schefter, of the NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) Network, reports if the Miami Dolphins (http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl) trade for either Kansas City Chiefs (http://www.kffl.com/team/21/nfl) QB Trent Green (http://www.kffl.com/player/989/nfl) or Houston Texans (http://www.kffl.com/team/18/nfl) QB David Carr (http://www.kffl.com/player/805/nfl), QB Daunte Culpepper (http://www.kffl.com/player/1120/nfl) will be released.

[omecool20]

I think he is done in Miami. All that pounding took the toll finally.

[BlindSite]

Culpepper still has a lot of potential but he tried to come back when he was still a world away. He was probably healthy by week 8 but by then Miami was going fairly well with Harrington. Culepper will probably get cut. go to a team needing a backup and end up rebuilding his career and being very successful once again.

Wow, I'm pretty shocked with that. While I may not be C-Pep's biggest fan, I certainly don't think it's a wise decision to release him at this point. I mean, he came back too early from an injury and really didn't get much of a chance to gain a grasp of their offense.

[swagger]

He was terrible in minnesota before he injured his knee, the season before he came to miami.

Because:

He had no offensive line.

He had no offensive playmakers.

He had one of the worst offensive coordinators I've ever seen in my life (Steve Loney).

He had one of the worst coaching staffs I've ever seen in my life.

One of the worst drafting teams, and that draft was particularly bad. 1st round pick was Troy Williamson; 3rd round pick was Dustin Fox (who never played a single play in purple).

"The Moss effect"

Red McComb's cheapness.

True, but brad johnson came in and didnt do too horrible. He had a decent season that same year.

[GiantRutgersFan]

Brad Johnson did a good job that year.

I think Culpepper was just kind of in the right place, at the right time. Him and Moss complimented each other extremely nicely. He did terrible in the half a season without Moss in Minnesota, plus with Miami.

I think that he was always somewhat overrated, but after the injury, he isnt anything more then a lower tier starter.

[portermvp84]

He will also's be considered as a backup. Unless he heels right he's gonna be a back up for awhile.

The team didn't have Moss or Culpepper's #1 WR from the year before Nate Burleson. They also lost their OC from the year before and C Matt Birk. When Culpepper played for us he wasn't awful, he just wouldn't get rid of the ball and he wasn't used to his receivers. Was he dominant, no, but he wasn't terrible. If he gets released because we bring in Trent Green I will be very disappointed.

I would be disappointed as well, I think Culpepper still has a couple seasons left in him and I really hope he can come back to his old self. A lot of people feel that if Trent Green were to come to Miami that would mean Culpepper would be on his way out since we can't "afford" two starting QB salaries. Green would actually be in Miami right now if he were willing to restructure and take a lesser deal, so Miami is trying to bring him in under a cheap/efficient contract meaning that they won't just cut Culpepper straight out. Another thing with Green is that most people feel he is being brought in to start, but I think Miami is just trying to bring him in a la Harrington to have a veteran backup that is capable of keeping us in games in case Culpepper hasn't fully recovered yet. I'm all for bringing in Green, as long as he is our veteran backup and is willing to restructure his current contract.

[georgiafan]

any truth to the rumor that he will be cut if the trade for trent green ?

[Splat]

Culpepper expected to be ready.

[MNRunLeft]

His last season in Minnesota was so much more than the loss of Moss.

Didn't seem to affect the way Brad Johnson played in place of the injured Daunte. Daunte struggled without Moss, but had shown in the past he was a good QB even when Moss was hurt. The real problem with Daunte has always been poor decision making, but when with Moss he was bailed out some of the time. Now with out his mobility Daunte will really need to learn more about reading coverages and making the correct reads instead of relying on his talents to make plays.

[RCAChainGang]

Maybe Carr to the Dolphins ?????

It could happen...
