Schefter: Trent Green traded to Fins officially; shopping Culpepper

[big dog cowboy]

The local media up here is all over this news tonight. Most people are just glad it is finally over. Surprisingly they are accepting of the fact this trade signals that this year may be a rebuilding year. Something I don't understand is the fact the KC brass think very very highly of Bradie Croyle. I'm talking future All-Pro kind of thinking. I don't get it.

i tell you what i hope the browns dont do it because i think that they can maybe steal 7 maybe 8 games with culpepper at qb but charlie frye and brady quinn= 1st pick in the 2008 draft

I don't either. The guy really wasn't that good in college and it's not like he's shown a great deal of potential to boot. Making such a stong committment to him might come back to bite the Chiefs hard in the next few years.

The Chiefs are rebuilding anyway and they only spent a 3rd round pick on him. Its not like starting Croyle is going to keep them from making a super-bowl run or set back the franchise. At least they didn't pass up on a top qb prospect because they believe in Croyle. They would have taken Quinn if not for that trade.

Trent Green over Culpeper? Wow Miami is really stupid!

Green is so underrated. People post things like this, and never look at his production.

Don't sleep on Croyle. His knock has always been the fact that he was so light. His arm strength is very good, and he actually blew Vince young away at the college QB challenge on the distance throw, on all three throws. He has a good deal of arm strength, the question is whether he added weight to his frame.

Green was awful last year, but I agree with you that what he did prior to last year with KC has been amazing.

The fact that he's 37 and Miami is only counting on him for 2 years is why I think the trade for him for such a high price is questionable.

I'm thinking Culpepper could end up in Jacksonville or Atlanta.

The Falcons could then get rid of a certain punk.........

They won't. The cap hit on that is probably more than they can afford to take.

Last year, they had the highest percentage of salary cap donated to starters in the league. I doubt they can afford to get rid of Vick.

Jacksonville has Leftwich, Garrard, and Gray. All mediocre at best QBs. Adding another one to the mix isn't really going to help.

It also ignores the sham that Culpepper's career has been. His mobility is shot. He can't read defenses. It's over for him, and it has been for a few years. I don't even think Moss could help him now.

ProFootballTalk outlined what it would cost them and they had stated that it could be done.

Granted, it is PFT so take it for what it's worth.

I'm thinking that Culpepper would be better than anything Jacksonville currently has.

See that's why I admire you so much, actually breaking it down. I didn't feel like explaining...

I thought it was going to be Elvis Grbac? :

cant they trade Bill Kenney for Dan Marino straight up?

They already have a one-dimensional sitting duck in the pocket in Leftwich. Why add another?

My thinking is that since they decided to hire 'Meathead' Mike Tice, why not hire his former QB as well?

Just connecting-the-dots......

Something is wrong here in Cowboyland. This is page three of the thread and no one has called for the immediate trade to get Culpepper.

C'mon folks, start the lunacy!

Dexter Coakley for Culpepper.

Culpepper has to be a better backup than Brad Johnson' old and weak arm.
