I agree with the Culpepper trade...here's why:
When a quarterback suffers such a terrible injury to the knee where it is going to prohibit him or have him "second guess" if he should run...a valuable dimension of his skills ARE LOST and how defenses will now prepare for Culpepper will be different. HE WILL NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO RUN LIKE HE DID BEFORE. Defenses will go for his knees.
He is not the same Pro Bowl QB of before. Therefore, a second round pick is what the NFL market perceives as his value. We are lucky to get a second round pick!!! HE WILL NOT BE THE SAME QB. For example, Tommy Kramer after the Tampa Bay Buc's gave him a season ending injury. Remember that one?
Think about it. The Dolphins and the Vikings made a fair deal.
Any thoughts? |

All I have to say...
Culpepper hasn't done anything for the Vikings yet. How many times has he made it to the playoffs? Look at last year, the year before! Culpepper isn't worth the number on his jersey! Draft a quarterback in the second round. Nothing to lose. What round was Brad Johnson? Oh, that's right! He won a Super Bowl.

Are you trying to say that Brad Johnson would have won a Super Bowl with our sorry ass defense that Culpepper had to QB with???
Did you go to the Cleveland game and see how a former Super Bowl QB looked with a poor defense??
Did you watch the Giants game in which Johnson kept the Giants in the game by continually squandering scoring opportunities??
Did Johnson throw the Chicago game by blowing hold after hold on field goals???

What's the heaviest thing the O line had to lift last year? Daunte. He will do less for Miami than Randy did for the Raiders—and that wasn't much. I got good and tired of watching him impersonate Michael Jordan and dribble the ball down the field, usually to the other guys, and lots of those happened when there was nobody around and nothing but open field in front of him. Vikes will be a LOT better without him or the bad vibe he would have brought with him if he had stayed.

Did you see an offensive line??? What games were you watching it must have been the last half of the season when the special teams and defense stepped up!!
That Giant game was one for the ages!!!
I know that the Bears, Lions and Packers agree with you about being happy that Daunte left. |

I'm sorry, I probably wasn't clear. I was talking about his ENTIRE TENURE with the team, not just last year. And you're right: that 41-doughut game in the Meadowlands was timeless, especially when you look at the horses he had around him for an O line, Korey, Steussie plus Robert Smith to take the heat off. There's a lot more to QB-ing than throwing brain dead heavers and letting Randy run under them making circus catches—as we all found out decisively at 2-5. As for the other teams in the division, seems like we've been looking up at the leaders more than we haven't. If they're thanking their lucky stars, my money's still riding on the Vikes now that they're un-Daunte'd. (Ouch, I know, I couldn't resist) |
