FearDaSpear Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Breaking News... http://blogs.nfl.com/category/adam-schefter/ Thoughts? I personally think the guy can still play, and would be a much better option then some of the current starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 When does it matter if someone retires? They can be reinstated in no time and signed to a team. Retirement is a word that's thrown around entirely too often. Culpepper isn't retiring, I don't care what paper work he files. He's just out of work.

Chachie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I posted the following in the "Open letter from Dante Culpepper" thread... A close friend of mine had a long dinner with Shaun Hill during the time that Hill was a backup QB to Dante in Minny. Take my source for what you will, but he says Shaun told him that the biggest knock on Dante Culpepper among NFL insiders is that he's DUMB. The Minnesota coaching staff saw his demise coming when Randy Moss left town because it was Randy Moss making him look so good. They were all of the (apparently correct) opinion that Dante's physical gifts would disappear in the NFL because he simply doesn't have the mental capacity to be an effective QB at this level. Shaun made no bones about it either. He also thought Dante was a mental midget.No offense intended to any Culpepper fans. It's just what I heard from a good friend who heard it straight from Shaun Hill's mouth. ... Could it be that the league consensus on him is exactly what was told to me?

Muzzah Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 heh, In yahoo's article about it they have a picture that is labelled "Oakland Raiders QB Dante Culpepper warms up before the start..." But the person in the picture is Jamarcus Russel. LOL, thats harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidSnake84 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 This is truly sad. I felt SURE that he would go to Baltimore after what happened to Boller. But instead they went after Joey FREAKING Harrington and Toud Bouman as possible starters. What's so bad about Daunte? I'd say right now he could come in and play better than 60% of the starters out there. I'll never understand it. Everybody says its because he acts as his own agent, but I would think a team would prefer dealing with an individual as opposed to someone's agent.... Oh well. I hope this isn't permanant and I hope i see him back somewhere soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucfSKINS Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 as a UCF alum, I'm always pulling for him. God forbid a QB get hurt, but if so, hopefully he'll land a gig somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFromYellowstone Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Culpepper was one of the most exciting QBs to watch ever. He could move, he was accurate and had a rocket arm. I hope he gets his chance to play still some time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoRUSupposed2Be Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Is his knee really that bad enought to sway teams the other direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzah Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah, he is better than Leinart, both of Buffalo's QBs, the QBs in San Fran, bla bla. I was surprised he hadn't been picked up. "He did bad in Miami and Oakland." is an argument. But who hasn't done bad there? Not exactly set for success in both places. Miami is turning in the rigth direction at least. But as for Oakland all I got is two words: Al Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Murray 29 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Is his knee really that bad enought to sway teams the other direction? I dont think it's the knee any more. It's the "I want to start and not be a backup" mentality that scares them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fourth King Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I feel bad for Culpepper. He definitely could at least be a veteran back-up somewhere. I know he could still play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFanAnt Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I still think he's blacklisted for something. I know he's not great but when Q gets a job in the league and this guy doesn't...well, his knee is either THAT BAD...or he's blacklisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
