RUMOR: Daunte traded to STL

Both QB's are 29 and both are coming off injuries from last year, although Dante's injuries were more serious from what I read.

Dante was having an off year in 2005 even before his injury, but he could rebound. I like Dante better because of his size and up until last year, his durability over Bulger. Although Bulger is a good QB.

If true, this is kind of a blockbuster deal like the Portis-for-Bailey trade. :D

Scott Linehan is now in St. Louis and under his tutelage, Culepper had some good years. From this standpoint, I could see Culpepper being traded to St. Louis.

Even without Ike Bruce, Culpepper would conceivably have better receivers to throw the deep ball to more consistently.

the only way this makes sense is if STL wants to run the same offense they had when Martz was there (minimum protection, maximum routes)

Culepper has the ability to shed blitzers, which would make sense in such an offense

but Bulger has such a beautiful deep pass, I wouldn't trade him

Dang Culpepper is probably loving this trade. He gets to throw to three great recievers, and the rams are poised to draft Vernon Davis.

Culpepper is prob liking his chops right now, and he's already on the top of my fantasy targets at QB for next year.

Unless, of course, we get Lloyd, Randel El, and Putzier. Then I might have to go for the Brunell/Campbell combo :).

It makes sense the Vikings would trade him and get another teams starter, because they are gonna need a QB themselves. This makes a lot of sense, and would mean Miami would have to go for Kitna or Ramsey(probobly Ramsey as they need to build for the future).

Seriously, do the Daunte Culpepper to the Rams rumors really need to be revived? We've heard it and read it all before. Yes, Linehan has a previous relationship with Culpepper. No, that doesn't mean he is going to come to St. Louis. For the same reasons as before, this isn't going to happen. One, Culpepper makes a lot of money and isn't necessarily worth the contract or the compensation it would take to get him. Two, Culpepper is coming off a serious injury that might not have him ready to play until September. Third, and most important, I believe Marc Bulger is the better quarterback at this point. The likelihood of Culpepper being traded is high. The likelihood of that trade landing him in St. Louis? Almost none.

That was written by Nick Wagoner, the Senior Writer for the Saint Louis Rams official homepage on Friday 3-10.

Me: No chance this happens. The new staff doesn't want to start off on a bad foot like they almost did with the Bruuuuuce fiasco. There really is no reason at all to believe any rumors that have Culpepper coming to StL and/or Bulger leaving. It does not make sense financially or from a PR standpoint.
