[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 154681, member: 288"] [b]What about Daunte Culpepper?[/b] Friday Humor... or is it... Everybody seems to be soo down on Rodgers without him even being on the field yet. [url]http://nflblogs.profootballweekly.com/aroundtheNFL/[/url] It's a modest proposal: Why not match up Culpepper and Green Bay? The Dolphins say they'll deal or release Daunte Culpepper soon, likely by this weekend. Bet on him getting released. There aren't a lot of teams that have immediate needs at QB. We have heard Jacksonville is interested. I would think Baltimore would at least toss the idea around if Culpepper is released, but they drafted Troy Smith and still have Kyle Boller as the backup. And we know that the Falcons are lying through their teeth if they say that (a) they are not worried about Michael Vick's impending legal issues or that (b) they think they are Ok with Joey Harrington and D.J. Shockley as their alternatives. But why not Green Bay? Think about it for a second. The prevailing thought is that Culpepper rushed back from his knee injury and likely needs a year more to get back to full health. The Packers have a starter in Brett Favre who has a year, maybe two left. But find me a Packers executive who at this moment will go on record to say that Aaron Rodgers is the unquestioned successor, and I'll be very surprised. Look, it's a roll of the dice. The fact that most teams are set at QB and that most will not invest heavily in a guy like Culpepper works in the Packers' favor, if they choose to show some interest. Assuming Favre has a year left and that Rodgers is not the prospect everyone thought two years ago, would it not be a good idea to have a Plan B other than, er, Ingle Martin? Culpepper is 30.
