Culpepper Traded To Miami
-
The Minnesota Vikings have traded star quarterback Daunte Culpepper to the Miami Dolphins for a second-round draft pick, according to media reports.
The trade is contingent upon Culpepper passing a physical, and takes Miami out of the running for free-agent quarterback Drew Brees who now could be headed to the Saints, FOX SPORTS is reporting.
Culpepper was a three-time Pro Bowl selection for Minnesota but played poorly last season before tearing three ligaments in his right knee in a game Oct. 30. He has been at odds with the Vikings over his 10-year, $102 million contract and wants to be traded.
"If a trade does not happen then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible," he said in his e-mail this week to media outlets.

Why the hell would we want leinert??? Waste of a 2nd overall pick... he is a good QB but you need to stop suckin his dick so hard your lips are gettin chapped...
Who else would you get? I suppose you would want the mentally handicapped Vince Young who can barely pass a wonderlific test. He is stupid and will be nothing more than another Ryan Leaf.

he retook the test and did a lot better...cmon you cant use that against him...first they reported he scored a 6, he retook the test and scored a 16 when most quarterbacks average over 20, i wouldnt consider that much better. more like slightly retarded instead of retarded now.......

Vince Young is just another Daunte, physically gifted, looks to run first(early Daunte), and weak minded. Being that he looks to run, this will lead to injuries and then most likely contract disputes. Leinart, not sure about him, but a pocket passer is injured less often. It appeared the nerves got to him in the Rose Bowl and thats not a good indication of NFL success.

Not to shabby of numbers for being nervous, I think he will have a successful NFL career, just like carson palmer is going to have.

why have girly arm leinart when you can have a bad ass like jay cutler?
(as much as i hate to go against vince young, cutler will be the better pro protege...)
hopefully we trade up and snag a top 3 pick, and let cutler sit for a season..kinda like a palmer deal

your right, its hard to be a run first qb when you have the highest passer rating in the entire country. -

I can't believe all you fans are jumping all over a guy that just 2 years ago had the 3rd highest QB pass rating in NFL history. Yes, last year was definately an off start for him, but EVERY QB has slumps...he did have to get used to not having his normal go-to guy as well.

That is the easiest excuse to come up with. When did Culpepper gain the most yards of any qb in league history? Yup, pretty sure it was when Moss had his worst season and missed a few games. Don't forget that half the O line was gone at the beginning of the season along with the the starting running back and Offensive Coordinator. I attribute Culpepper's failures to those more than losing Moss.I am not upset that Culpepper is gone, but I hate to see him get traded for a second rounder and nothing else.

so he has been a good quarterback for three years and an average one for three years. I guess if I was Gm I wouldnt risk more than a 2nd rounder on a qb that just had three ligament tears and is iffy to have a good season even if he is healthy. good riddance to culpepper, we will see that he is average once he plays in Miami. If he has a great year ever, I will eat crow.......:icon_thumleft:
