Daunte Culpepper kneeds to come back or Dolphins go Green
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Daunte Culpepper - when he is on, there is no one better
Duante Culpepper is still rehabbing his knee.
This means the Dolphins are still rehabbing their team.
No QB in the NFL translates into no victories.
How bad are the Dolphins? No playoffs since 2001.
Dolphins used to win all the time. Now there is no Griese, no Marino, no Shula, etc.
If they are lucky they will get Trent Green from the Kansas City Chiefs. You remember Trent, don’t you? Knocked out with a concussion last year, he missed a lot of games. Damon Huard took over and was nothing short of amazing.
Trent Green came back for the playoffs and… Herman Edwards put him back in as the starter. He was very ineffective and KC got knocked out of the playoffs.
So, Trent Green will probably get his walking papers, in the what have you done for me today, NFL. His most likely destination is Miami.
“There is no deal at the moment,” Green’s agent, Jim Steiner said in late May, “but our expectation is that there will be.”
Green took part in the Chiefs minicamp knowing there’s little, if any, chance of him playing a seventh season in Kansas City. And most of his recent comments were not about the Chiefs but about the Dolphins and his affection for Cameron, whom he worked with as a Washington Redskin.
He also commented about “the awkwardness of this.” source
STOP, Read this important message - Squibster live, sound interesting? (this is where you say yes!) Then go to suicide fan.com and listen to Mike Keating and Jim Edwards (that is me) talking NBA and LeBron James.
Poor Miami. This is a franchise that passed on Drew Brees to get Daunte Culpepper. The knee of Culpepper never came fully around and the Dolphins ended up with Joey Harrington at quarterback.
“The story of the day,” Cameron says after a minicamp practice, “was the play of Cleo Lemon.”
Happy, happy, joy, joy.
And Green? Who really, really wants to play for you?
“You don’t know,” Cameron says. “Is every guy (New Orleans Saints quarterback) Drew Brees? I don’t know.”
Hey, what about John Beck from the draft?
Then there’s John Beck, 25, a second-round draft pick out of Brigham Young and Miami’s highest-drafted signal-caller since, you guessed it, Marino in 1983.
Despite Beck’s presence as the possible quarterback of the near future, many fans voiced their displeasure to Cameron on draft day when Miami bypassed more heralded Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn with the ninth pick, opting instead for Ohio State wideout/kick returner Ted Ginn Jr., who’s healing from a foot injury suffered in the BCS title game.
Quinn, Beck, does not matter; both would be rookies this next year and not ready to lead the Dolphins.
So what are we to make of the Dolphins situation at signal caller?
Quarterback: Who knows? It’s probably the most important aspect of the Dolphins’ plan for a resurgence, but the situation remains cloudy. There’s Daunte Culpepper, whose physical limitations were on display for all to see last season. There’s Trent Green. Either way, we’re talking about two productive players who also happen to be in their 30s. Cleo Lemon, anyone? John Beck?
If only Daunte Culpepper could come back throwing those long touchdown bombs!
