[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 90090, member: 227"] Welcome Culver29, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Don't take it personally, but I think starting Culver would be a mistake. IMO, Manuel is the way to go. First of all, Manuel is a veteran, and knows the ins and outs of the pros, but Culver is a rookie and the speed of the NFL is something new to him. Secondly, Culver isn't a run support specialist. Manuel is, and that is one of the main reasons TT got him. Our run D was bad last year, and Manuel will help improve that, while Collins will be the guy to go out and make plays in coverage. Culver may be faster and have more range, but with Collins at FS, it isn't the best match for us, although it is a damn fine one with huge potential. Thirdly, Manuel is a a leader. He is coming in assuming the role of the vet back at safety, and will be taking care of the play calling. It falls on his shoulders to make sure that the players are where they need to be, and he is accountable for making subtle adjustments when he sees fit. Culver can't do that right now, simply because he is a rookie. Finally, Manuel is a proven vet. By this I mean he has shown he can play with the top competition against the different schemes of the NFL. Culver is still a rookie who has excelled mostly against 2nd and 3rd stringers, and hasn't had a decent run against 1st stringers. Also, Culver has played against very basic schemes, and there is a huge difference between the vanilla playcalling in the pre-season vs the playcalling in the regular season. Culver hasn't shown he can pick-up different audibles, shifts, motions, etc. that are common practice. IMO it is a little too early for Culver to start. However he has some talent, and a great head on his shoulders. No doubt he should improve big time this season. Something that I noticed was Manuel talking to Culver after Culver gave up the TD last game against the Falcons. That will greatly help Culver adjust faster to the NFL learning curve. [/QUOTE]
