    Culpepper to Packers?

    Our buddy Florio at it again......Mad would love this one...he can call him Culfumbler again!


    PACKERS LOOKING AT CULPEPPER
    Posted by Michael David Smith on April 23, 2008, 3:09 p.m.
    The Green Bay Packers are exploring the possibility of signing free agent quarterback Daunte Culpepper, the Green Bay Press-Gazette is reporting.

    Culpepper reportedly arrived in Green Bay Tuesday and is visiting the Packers today. The Packers are considering signing Culpepper as a backup to Aaron Rodgers, who became the starting quarterback when Brett Favre retired.

    Last season Culpepper played in seven games for the Oakland Raiders, starting six, and completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 1,331 yards with five touchdowns and five interceptions.

    Culpepper had one of the best passing seasons in NFL history in 2004, but as a result of injuries and ineffectiveness since then, he has played 18 games for three teams since then.

      Maybe he's just there to take the Lambeau Tour and visit the Packer Hall of Fame.

          The Packers need a backup QB who is a veteran. I have no problems with the Packers signing him, even if he used to play for the despised Vikings.

          Heck, are Packer fans forgetting that we had former Bears QB Jim McMahon sitting on the Packers' bench?

              I'll get hated on because of this, but I'm giving my thumbs up to this potential deal.



              Hopefully, he wouldn't have to play. Outside of David Garrard, I'd take this option over some of the other backup QBs that were out there.

              I'd take that.

                Agreed. If Rodgers goes down we're screwed anyway, so it's only a question of how much.

                  Holy Crap we agree! Satan must be reaching for that parka about right now.

                    It all comes down to dollars and cents. If it takes a lot of those to sign Culpepper, forget it. If he can be signed to a cheap, fairly risk-free contract, then go for it.

                    An objective view is that he was a decent, if not great QB. He's not that old, and he probably is far enough removed from his injury for it to be healed--unless it was just so bad that he never recovers fully.

                    We are going to need somebody--assuming Nall is gone. Probably a veteran is needed even if we draft a QB. I'd take a healthy Culpepper over a lot of others.

                      I have no problem with Pep. I like the idea of a veteran behind Rogers.

                          Or... is this all smokescreen and we're going to turn around and draft a QB at #30?



                          Whatever the case, I don't really want to give up anything of value in a trade for a backup. So if they think Culpepper is the best of the warm bodies out there to hold the clipboard then so be it. To me he doesn't seem like a good fit for the WCO, and I just plain don't really like the guy.

                            I'd take that.
                            I for one would love to see this. Culpepper looked much worse than he actually was last year because of the Raiders poor pass blocking.

                            Also I think Josh Johnson could be a great project, 6'3" 4.6 speed, oh and great decision making, he was 45 td's to 1 pick last year.

                              sadly, I do think it'd be a good deal. As far as vetran QB's go, who's left? I think Dante would be a solid guy, like a Jim McMahon was, to come in and at least try to keep Rodgers grounded at all times.

                              I say Yes...but I do so with pain.
