I cannot believe how inaccurate his passes are. He had very happy feet in the pocket. The dolphins will not win the division with this qb. He is lucky he didnt have more picks tonight.
Ungeheuer said:I don't think all of this criticism is fair. Culpepper before he got hurt had some of the greatest seasons any quarterback has ever had. Moss or no Moss, it takes talent to throw 39 touchdowns. He's big, strong, and MOST of the time he's been an accurate passer.
What I saw tonight was a completely different player. His mechanics were terrible. On the first interception he was throwing off the back foot; same with the throw into the end zone that Taylor should have picked off. And he couldn't run at all. Imagine Michael Vick having to adjust to not being able to run; this is a tough adjustment for this guy.
He looked bad tonight, but you have to chalk some of that up to injury and confidence. The pre-injury Daunte Culpepper was a hell of a player. It's a little early to write him off.

Digger44 said:Actually, i think you are off on a few things. Dante's decline didn't start with this injury. It started about the end of his 2004 season. Yes he had 39 tds that year, but he should have been the same qb at the beginning of the 05 season. He wasn't even close. Why? Moss, Moss, Moss. It wasn't that he lost 500 yards passing, his percentages flushed, his decision were bad, and he couldn't think through a game.
When I saw him 2nite, the brain wasn't there. Physically, he looked great. Thin (255) and little to no limp. His play 2nite was not an injury rust. something is wrong.

Charlie Batch > Culpepper
This guy looks washed up. Looks like my statistical analysis was right on about Culpepper declining into mediocrity.
Aqua4Ever04 said:You guys are ridiculous. Good god, 1 game and you are putting out his fire already. He really didn't do that bad. He had a couple of under throws and forced two passes late in the game when he could illafford to take sacks. He will bounce back.
dhamz said:Looked like the same guy in tonight's game that we all saw last year. Inaccurate, staring down his #1 WR, throwing balls up for grabs, etc.
He was awful on every level imaginable.

Ungeheuer said:My God... he certainly didn't look "great" physically. Not one good run, and did you see the outs he was throwing? He was just floating them out there, couldn't plant with his front foot at all. Does anyone here remember the healthy Culpepper? The guy had a cannon arm. Threw a good deep ball and a GREAT out. Culpepper tonight was just floating them out there -- he really should have had two of those sideline patterns picked. It was almost like he couldn't reach the sideline without lofting the ball. Definitely not the same guy.
