theeohiostate Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Great news for Chambers-Brown-McMicheal owner and Dolphin fans Dolphins | Culpepper looks super Tue, 16 May 2006 11:18:44 -0700 According to John Czarnecki of FOXSports.com, Miami Dolphins QB Daunte Culpepper (knee) appears to be ahead on his rehabilitation and could be ready for the start of training camp. He may not be ready for a full workload, but he should be ready to participate in most drills. Word from Miami is that he looks "super."

Goopster24 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Just drafted Culpepper in my dynasty league in the sixth round. I'm lookin for a great year and a "rebirth" statistically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 If he were a RB, I'd be really worried. But being a QB, I think he can have an effective season in 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Last weekend, Saban said Culpepper received an ''A-plus'' review from Dr. James Andrews after a checkup on his surgically repaired right knee. Saban and others in the organization have expressed an increasingly stronger sense of confidence that Culpepper will be able to start in the season opener Sept. 7 in Pittsburgh. But while there is room for optimism, knee injuries often have setbacks, according to two surgeons who have done the procedure in the past. Thus, the Dolphins might not have a complete sense of when Culpepper, who tore three ligaments, will be ready to play until after the start of training camp July 28.

Last Plane Out Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 total knee reconstruction healing in less than one year......no way Harrington starts at least half the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 LINK 1473131[/snapback] It is 3 ligaments and it is football we are talking about. They are going to take their time bringing him back in my opinion. To them next season with a healthy Culp. is more important than this one. Winning the Superbowl is their goal, not helping fantasy fans, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Scorp Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Just because he "may" get back on the field does not mean he learned how to read defenses and hold on to the ball! (See first half of 05 season) He will need at least a year to TRUST his knee. I do not expect anything out of him this year. I hope someone in one of my leagues drafts him in the first 6 rounds!!

Crazysight Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 He won't be much value this year, regardless of how "ahead" of schedule he is. I think he still has a few good years left in him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs his knee as much as an RB does, so I'd disagree with your assessment. 1473320[/snapback] Well, I disagree with you Seriously though, the reason I disagree is because I don't see him being a running QB like Vick for instance. I guess what I'm trying to say is although he is grouped with "running QBs" I think he is more of a pocket passer. Not counting last year when he only played 7 games, he has only had one season as a starter where he did NOT throw for 3500+ yards. If this were Michael Vick who had the knee injury, I would agree with you but I view C-Pep as more of a pocket passer even though he does generally add 400 yards running per season. His rushing TDs have certainly decreased over the last several years but his passing numbers are always steady and tops in the league. Now when you look at M. Vick you will see slightly higher rushing yardage on a yearly basis. He's going to put up between 600-900 yards yearly and has only had one season where he's thrown for more than 2500 yards. That's the number I'm looking at when trying to decipher who is and isn't a "true" running QB. If you look at D. McNabb, he's another player I see more in the C-pep mold. Yes, he has been successful running and labeled as a running QB but he has also proved that he can get it done in the air. He also averages around 3500+ passing yards per season. So, in summation: Michael Vick needs to run to have success. Culpepper does not need to run to have success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things made CPep succesful in Minnesota, his scrambling opened up passing opportunities, and he had Randy Moss. If he's gimpy, he'll have neither in MIA, and don't even compare Chamber to Moss. Anywho, in summation, I still disagree with you. Edited May 17, 2006 by Hugh 0ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Just to keep this little disagreement between 2 fantasy gurus going, I'd like to add another thing. The passing yards do matter because it is part of the overall equation. I like to look at the overall production and what % of that production comes from running. When you do the math, 11% of Daunte's career production comes from running. Whereas 24% of Vick's career production is the result of running. Now compare both of those with the ultimate pocket passer P. Manning. 2% of Manning's productioin has come from running. What do all these numbers tell us? Fuch if I know Edit to add: These numbers are a result of yardage production. TDs were not factored into the equation, which is a slight oversight by me. I don't think the amount of passing yards have anything to do with what determines if a QB needs to run or not, the amount of rushing yards he has determines that, and CPep has historically had about 400 yards/season, which is a lot if you compare it to pocket QB's like Manning who rushes for 5.2 yards/game , or Bledsoe who rushes for 3.9 yards/game .

Hugh 0ne Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 News Flash: Duante is a terrible QB with or without knees, and I've been saying that for years. 1474090[/snapback] Yeah, and the Lions are gonna be good this year, right? Because you've been saying that for years too. His career completion % is better than Peyton Manning. He threw for 4700 yards, 39 TD's and 11 INT's in '04. Aside from the fact that he was the Vikes QB that's thrown a beating into your Lions for the past 7 years, what makes him terrible? Does he fumble? Yes. Does he make mental mistakes? Yes. Is he a "terrible" QB? Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
