[QUOTE="fanindaup, post: 513966, member: 8875"] Raptor this is an example of why I think you're a little touchy when it comes to talking Vikings here. Several people have responded to your requests for a reason the Vikings should or could have drafted Rodgers. First, there is a perception among the rest of us that Culpepper was not an elite QB. In my mind at least he was a product of the pieces around him. He enjoyed playing behind a stout OL, had guys like Robert Smith toting the rock and had the most dominating WR in the game at the time. His stats look great, but I never bought into the idea Culpepper was behind the success. He rode on Moss' coat tails. Believe it or not i always felt that way, and i know a lot of people who agreed with me at that time. Now, several people have tried to explain that position but you keep repeating about who the Packers are drafting to replace Rodgers. That is comparing Rodgers, who most people speak of in terms of perhaps the best in football, to Culpepper, who despite a statistically good year in 2005 I don't remember anyone comparing him to Manning, Favre or Marino. Also, there is something to drafting the best player on the board regardless of position. Even while Favre was on his run, the Packers drafted and developed several QBs who went on to have success elsewhere, such as Brunell, Detmer, Hasselbeck and Brooks. The Packers in fact have attempted to develop some QBs in Rodgers' time but so far the only one they hit on was Flynn. Now, in your defense, it's easy for us to take our shots at the Vikings because we all know how it worked out, just like the Packers taking Mandarich over Sanders. However you did come off as overly defensive on the subject. [/QUOTE]
