Lori Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 thats an inaccurate sample, lori, 14 yrs vs 4 yrs, and was culpepper even a fulltime starter all 4 of those yrs. 2004:culpepper qb rating 110.9 bledsoe 76.6 bledsoe career high qb rating:87.7 Culpepper had a magnificent season in 2004. And then Moss left for Oakland. Since then, Culpepper has blown out a knee, and thrown a total of 20 TD passes versus 32 interceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see it posted when I pulled up the board. Agreed! So he won't sell tickets, but bring him in and see what happens. If he sucks (probably the case...) then cut him in training camp. We can't lose on this! Something about his cannon arm and Evans deep balls makes me think twice about saying no Culpepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to think it's entirely relevant that he hasn't thrown more touchdowns than picks or had a passer rating over 78.0 in any of the last five seasons, but maybe that's just me. By all means, feel free to base your opinion on events which happened when Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith were still in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the point is that there is a QB available, who has done more than any QB we currently have on the roster, and he is available for nothing, we can still draft a QB if we want and he does provide us with some wiggle room in terms of where to draft a QB. So again, what would it hurt to bring him in for a workout to see how he looks, i am not saying we should hand him the keys for the next 3-5 yrs. Just bring him in for a workout, that's all. Not to mention if he does come to buffalo, he would have a deep threat to throw to, which, as you have so aptly pointed out, is a major factor in his success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something we really need here, a veteran presence to help these young QB's we keep trying to throw to the wolves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hey Dante, so do I, I think we both have the same chances of that happening. And to all saying he is better then what the Bills already have, have you seen him play the last, lets say, 5 years? No he isn't. I wouldn't say he is much worse, but in no way is he better now then what the Bills have already, not that that is saying much about either. Culpepper is done, he is not what he once was when he played for the Vikes with Carter and Moss, and without a hottub time machine, I don't think he is worth even talking to Make a trade for Hasselback or Smith (from the Ravens) if they can be had for a low pick, or else draft one of the top QB's in the first 2 rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frit0 Bandit0 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 This reminds me of Randall Cunningham who in 96' owned a company installing ceramic tile (a friend and I talked to hm on the sideline prior to the start of the first game of the 97' season ). So in 97' the Vikings signed him as their punter. By 98' he led the Vikings to a 15-1 season only to lose the Championship game to the Falcons...his rating @ 106 was his highest ever.

Wilson from Gamehendge Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I am generally not a fan. Never have been. He had a few (like 3) decent years in MN and has done nothing before or after. However, The QB's on the roster now are absolutely horrible. I say pick up Daunte, draft Tebow in the 2nd or 3rd, Let those 2 and Fitz fight it out for the starting job and demote Trent to washing the urinals after the games. Really, We have no one at this point. Id say bring in every QB that wants to compete and let the best man win. I agree. I think we should sign a couple veterans to the minimum, on a 1-year deal, and let them all compete. Draft a QB this year, and groom him for the future...most likely, next season. 1 or 2 of these Vets: Charlie Batch, Jeff Garcia, Todd Collins, Mark Brunell, Chris Simms and Daunte Culpepper. Trade a 5th to the Ravens for Troy Smith. Draft somebody in the 2nd-4th round...or later if somebody like Pike or McCoy fall. There are a lot of other QB's I would take a look at in the later rounds of this years draft. If we go QB in the 2nd or 3rd, I would take Tebow or Jarrett Brown. Let ALL these guys compete in training camp. Keep the 3 best guys...let the best QB start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocwocka Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I want to be a member of the Bills too.... Ditto. I'm 5'8"/208lbs. I'm the same size as Barry Sanders and have the same skills, except the following: I may have lost a step on top of my less-than-fashionable 40 time, my ankles hurt when a walk up stairs... oh, and i don't like getting hit by bigger people. Do you think the Bills could give me a 1 year deal?... i'm only 37! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Cunningham It should ... because Cunningham, like Culpepper, was throwing to an in-his-prime Randy Moss. Future Hall of Famer Cris Carter was on that team, too.

DarthICE Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 He is better than what we have right now...then again just about any QB is. I bring him in, cut Edwards and Brohm and draft our QB of the future in this draft and let him develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Since then, Culpepper has blown out a knee, and thrown a total of 20 TD passes versus 32 interceptions. So you're saying he is only a little better than our current stable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizell Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 culpepper is terrible. and it's hilarious that people think he could 'mentor' any other quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Cunningham So now all we need is to stack the offensive line and put two hof WRs in their prime on the field at the same time. I'm in.
