Culpepper turned back $1 million

[red]

brady didn't cruch passing records before moss. brady threw for about 1000 more yards then he averaged the previous 5 years without moss. almost doubled his td production, he never threw more then 30 in one season, he had 50 last year. and almost cut his int's in half. moss took a very good qb and made him look like the most prolific qb ever

and for some reason the raiders had absolutely no clue how to use moss, or else they didn't have a qb that could throw the deep ball

either way, they didn't try to use moss the way the queens and pats did. they didn't use him as a deep threat

How about we split the difference and say Culpepper was decent in his prime (before his brutal knee injury)? Sure, he had a bad handful of games after Moss left, but it was a small sample size. He also had a ton of pressure on him those first several games. Culpepper put up great numbers over about a 3 year stretch. It wasn't all Moss. Of course, he's the type of QB that the scheme has to fit his style, but you could say that about most QBs.

Harv brings up a great point. Before the triple knee explosion, DC was apt to pull the ball in a run for 20-30-40 yards up the field at any time if the pocket collapsed or his WRs were covered. How apt were any defenses to try and blitz the guy? He burned plenty with his speed and strength. Used to be if they got inside the ten you knew Culpepper could run in for 6 almost at will. He was a real bitch to gameplan against when he could still run. As soon as his legs were taken away from him and he was forced to become a pocket passer his true passing ability (or lack thereof) became more apparent and he looked very average. Toss in his uncanny ability to fumble the ball without being touched due to his his baby hands and you had a pretty average to below average QB at times.
