Vikings & Culpepper

[LaunchHard]

It sounds like he will be out for a while, the rumor is 3-4 weeks minimum.

This could actually be a good thing though. Brad Johnson can make decisions better than Daunte, but he doesn't have Daunte's arm.

Johnsons slow too, but a better pocket passer. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You mean the Montana, Young, and early Garcia Days. ;)


Yea, back when people like you joined the 49ers bandwagon. :)

This taken from StarTribune--

Almost certainly, Culpepper will not play again -- outside or inside -- until 2006. An MRI performed today is expected to show a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and team officials are concerned about the possibility of damage to other ligaments and possibly the bones around Culpepper's knee as well.

"If it's as serious as it appears," Tice said, "it's devastating for our football team."
When I saw that I grabbed my knee. It looked just like what I did to mine. It's now 2 months later and I'm almost back to full duty at work. I think he's done this year.

LOL, They actually just happened to be the first team I saw play either the Packers or Vikings on local TV in IA. I got to be a huge fan of Ronnie Lott and Charles Haley, Craig, Rice, Taylor Montana just added to it ;)

I've been a bleeding Gay Tan colors since. :D

It's confirmed, Culpepper's out for the season.

Hate to say it, but in their division they actually might have a chance with Johnson. He's got nothing to lose at his age and everything to gain if he wants to play anywhere ever again. Look for a serious change.

Sometimes it turns out that the backup QB is better than their lead starter QB. Look at Look at Marc Bulger and Kurt Warner a couple years back. When Warner went out with injuries, Bulder did better than Kurt was doing. Sometimes I wish we'd get a new QB maybe even a new coach. Shit! sometimes I wish we had a whole different team. :D

Where did Brad come from, Tampa Bucs???

[AJ]

Yeah, he won a superbowl with the Buc and they cut him the following year. LOL

[ABV]

Wasn't Brad the starting QB for MN in '98? Then he got injured and Randall Cunningham took over, then Jeff George, then I think it was Cullpeper. So now that Daunte is down, Brad get's his starting position back.

Ya, the Vikes had a thing there for awhile with picking up old vet QB's. We had McMahon and Moon start for us a ways back. Then Johnson was our starter until we picked up Cunningham.
