I read that Minny may think that Culpepper is expendable.
We interested??????

Nope.
Moss left and Dante showed us that he cannot play without someone to bail out his heave-ho pass.

He cant read defenses so you might as well draft a Qb.
Why don't you list all of qb's in the league that can't read defenses.

I don't understand this arguement. If this were the case, why isn't Kerry Collins lighting it up in Oakland. The Raiders have a pretty good offensive line, Jerry Porter and Randy Moss.

Moss missed 3 games last season and caught 0 balls in 2 other games. He was slowed by his injury for the remaining games of that season. Yet Culpepper had one of the top seasons a QB has ever had in the NFL. Even having a poor year this season, he was completing a high percentage of his passes.

If someone doesn't think Culpepper is a good QB, that is fine, but it isn't because Moss isn't on the team. The Vikings had several key injuries on offense to begin the year. Some of those guys have come back and Koren Robinson finally learned the playbook and started to contribute. Also, don't forget that Mike Tice isn't much of a coach.

Culpeppers problems have much more to do with them losing their OC than losing Moss.

Let's see...after 1 bad year, think Culpepper, a ProBowl QB, is expendable because you have Brad Johnson????

I don't think that's going to happen.

Culpepper's had more than 1 bad season. Look at 2001 & 2002 also. He's had 3 great seasons and 3 bad seasons. Very up and down quarterback.

Culpepper had the most passing yards of any QB last season. I'd say he just had a bad year this year.

The Vikings also have no running game to speak of. Even as poorly as we are running the ball we are still averaging 20 yards per game more than Minnesota and they are almost 22 yards per game lower than they were last year.

Part of what they are missing are the yards that Culpepper gains but mostly they just don't have much of a running game. Losing their OC was a major blow to them.

I'm not sure why Culpepper was having such a horrible season or why Johnson is doing so much better since Dante went down but they still aren't running the ball very well. The only thing I can think of is that he was having a tough time getting used to the new OC.

I would not be opposed to signing Culpepper but I seriously doubt that we will as he doesn't seem to fit Parcells' style and I'd rather go after a younger player like Rivers or a draft pick.

Let's see. You don't think not having Randy Moss has anything to do with this? 7 games, 31 sacks, 12 interceptions, 5 fumbles.

Not having Moss changed the way teams played the Vikings. More blitzing, less zone coverage, Culpepper got exposed. Plug Brad Johnson and they start winning games.

Exceptional qb but at this point I really would like to draft a Young Buck.

Brad Johnson should play better than Culpepper. He is a season veteran, always been underrated in his entire career and has been to the promised land and has history with the Vikes.

I really dont think Culpepper lights it up and has a nice career and then a year later all of the sudden forgets how to throw the ball and loses all the experience he had attained.

Attributing his horrible season to one player leaving and refusing to look at all the other variables like his OC leaving is kind of what Sean Salisbury likes to say....Bush League.

Culpepper? Absolutely - Jerry Jones is a known fan of his - this has been mentioned in the past...
