boss hogg Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Daunte Culpepper-Pick him up and sign him to a one year contract (unrestricted free agent)-use first round top 5 pick (if we keep it) for LT (Long or Clady)-draft a QB in the second round (Flacco, Booty, Henne, Ainge)-cut Leftwich ($2.35M cap relief)-cut Harrington ($2.1M cap relief)-let Redman and Shockley compete for #3 in camp-start the season with Culpepper while the new guy comes along during the seasonIf Culpepper plays well, great, you keep him in there. If not, bring the new guy in around game 6 or 7 and let him take his lumps for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 If we are going to do that we might as well:A) Keep Redman as the starter going into the season Draft his eventual replacement andC) Allow Shockley a chance to prove he deserves a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how we fell victim with Harrington and Leftwich. Picking up a QB of that caliber will give us a repeat losing season. We need to bank on Redman and Shockley and get a new QB from the draft. (I'm sorry I cannot be partial to anyone besides MV) We are rebuilding......remember that. I'm sorry to vent like that but I see Culpepper being another Leftwich. I just see it.

Although I think Daunte is on the downslide-start the season with Culpepper while the new guy comes along during the seasonIf Culpepper plays well, great, you keep him in there. If not, bring the new guy in around game 6 or 7 and let him take his lumps for the rest of the season.I kind of see what you are saying. I think Daunte is on the downslide. I would rather re-sign Redman and Draft our future QB. We have enough wash up QB on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 the falcons werent interested in him last offseason and i doubt we will be this offseason. we passed him up and a couple of weeks to a month later we got leftwich i think.

Telecaster Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 No way. He's not worth it. Redman will perform as good as Culpepper could. Shockley is still the X Factor. This is why I say draft a 2nd round QB. Henne, Ainge and Booty are just as good as Ryan. Seriously, we're going to take a guy #3 because of his leadership and intangibles? Talk about a reach.Get Jake Long, or maybe McFadden, or trade down and get Mendenhall or Stewart or Clady and get the QB in the 2nd round.

Guest Libid21 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Culpepper is horrible. He's way past the pinnacle of his career, and signing him to become our quarterback won't help our quarterback problems in the future. We need a long term answer and neither Culpepper nor Redman is the answer. Shockley will still be considered a back up to me until further notice. I hope you guys haven't forgotten how horrible he's played in the preseason before he got injured. That does no impress me at all. I'd rather draft a quarterback than sign one through free agency.

sporkdevil Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 It seems like Redman has had much better games, with limited playing time, last year than Culpepper. It's not necessary at all, and there is no reason he should become the starter.Even though, I thought we should have picked him up last year.

falconchef Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I believe Dimitroff when he says he's a "QB snob" and that there's not one good enough high in the draft. With the Pack having so much money under the cap and no pressing FA to sign, they may be willing to keep paying Rodgers to sit, and Dimitroff could turn to...Chris Simms? Not that I'm high on him, but Josh Johnson has turned some heads. DJ Shockley couldn't move up the depth chart when healthy, and unless this is the movies where a healed injury somehow gives him magic powers, he's done for. Because Talent and Team seem to be Dimitroff's specialty (not to mention we don't have a coach or staff yet), NO ONE really knows what he'll do. We may have so many needs that he'll trade down to gather more picks, or he may have a plan in place already, like drafting OL Long, QB rotation Simms, Redman/Harrington, and Josh Johnson, best second round RB. Or (most likely) I could be way off. Just an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
