They didn't want to give Brees that much coming off a shoulder injury, although coach Nick Saban claims he wanted Brees badly, not Culepper. Some say that move from management is what soured him from the NFL. I grew up in Minnesota and moved away in the end of the 2005 summer. Some of my buddies have some connections to the Vikings and 2 of them always told me Culpepper was a fraud, a terrible person and teammate, and an overrated player who had the greatest show on turf around him, but would always struggle against a good defense. These guys madew a lot of money betting against him when facing a good defense.Anyway, that's not to absolve the Vikings of anything as I love their 2005 Draft! Gives me chills still to this day because we and they are still reaping the ramifications of that Draft. I just wish we still had Nick Collins dammit.</blockquote>
