You are the most realistic Vikes fan that i have ever read, keep it up.

Sickening, isn't it? Ras takes all the fun outta hating lavender....

Rastak and Brad Johnson are one in the same.

Nice guy or not I sure am glad that their entire season is in his hands. Great for Packers fans everywhere.

Hey now, he has won as many superbowls as Brett.

Actually I read this morning that his career record of 65-43 is the third best win-loss ratio among active quarterbacks with at least 50 starts.

Don't know if this is true or not. He was 7-2 last year though.

Who were #1 and #2? Favre and Brady. I would guess that Manning would be better than that. Is this the same source that stated Tarvaris Jackson had the best arm strength at the combine?

This is true, can't find #1 and 2 though.

Brad Johnson-One of the Top 20 passer ratings in NFL history. Connected on over 60% of his passes for last 10 straight seasons, the first quarterback in NFL history to do this (Joe Montana & Steve Young previously held the record with eight straight seasons). He has been twice selected to Pro Bowl. Is the only NFL quarterback to have thrown a touchdown pass to himself.

It didn't list #1 and #2 so I don't know. And no, Tarvaris wasn't mentioned anywhere.

Edit:
I found the link Harvey....

"With Culpepper gone, the days of five interception games are over, and the case of fumble-itis he had is also gone. In six seasons as a starter Culpepper has a whopping 122 career turnovers, an average of 20.33 a season. While Johnson, in double the amount of years, has 125 career turnovers. The cannon arm Culpepper possesses is gone, but Johnson's style fits head coach Brad Childress' west coast offense perfectly."

Funny! That's one way of slanting the stats. Johnson was a backup and didn't play some of those years. He has 3798 pass attempts, 240 rushing attempts, and 213 sacks in his career. Culpepper has 2607 pass attempts, 454 rushing attempts, and 228 sacks in his career. That's about 3300 "touches" where a turnover was possible. Johnson has about 4200 "touches". That equates to Johnson having 25% more touches and 40% more pass attempts, but to say he has the same career turnovers in twice as many games certainly makes it look a lot better.

Yea, stats can be twisted any way you want in general. I see it on this forum, and every other forum I frequent. People try and make a point then go find some stats that support it. Either way, Culpepper did drive me nuts with those damn fumbles. He was either REALLY good or REALLY bad. QB play should at least be more consistent but not as spectacular at times.
