Speedy Ron · 09-29-2011, 09:23 AM

Never. However, I'm so glad we've got Donte Stallpepper lol

I wonder if Payton would have been able to save Culpepper's career. I always (up to that point) thought he was a pretty good QB. His first few games with the Dolphins he looked pretty good, then he just fell apart.

Ok I may not have been sold on Drew - BUT I was sure as heck AGAINST Culpepper.

If he had been anywhere near where he had been before the knee injury I would have thought differently. BUT he wasn't & that was obvious!

Brees all the way....

Never wanted Culpepper, sorry. Felt Drew was too young for the injury to hault his career, and he had way too much success at San Diego to pass over.

I was always of the mind that Culpepper's days were best left in Minny. He was a benefactor of all the talent available to him on that loaded offense back in those days.
There are certain vibes about players I get when I know they will just light it up with particular teams. I had it immediately with Drew. I never thought he would challenge Marino for passing records but I knew he would be of great value.
Daunte was a good QB but I don't think he ever commanded true leadership qualities that head coaches and OCs would just hand the keys over to him the way QBs such as Brees and Peyton do.

I was all for an injured Brees over Culpepper. I was concerned with his injury but I wanted Brees for his mind over Culpepper's physical abilities. Culpepper seemed like a bigger Aaron Brooks to me.

Did not want Culpepper. I mainly just wanted Aaron Brooks gone.
