[...] I think there’s a pretty strong fact-based argument against Culpepper. I tried to make here it a couple months ago. Daunte Culpepper is no longer a good quarterback. After coming out of [...]

Agreed, however, I remember Donatell throwing untold amounts of different looks at him, and he was more than able to make his reads. Also, as far as the WCO goes, he just spent a year in Kiffin’s WC-style offense and completed nearly 60 percent of his passes. Give the guy some decent coaching and some weapons, and I think he would be effective. Time will tell…

In our offense, a big arm is a luxury not a necessity. There is a premium on quick reads and accuracy — both of which make me want Holcomb over Culpepper. I’ll grant that Culpepper’s offenses in Miami and Oakland were weak, but part of his problem — in addition to taking sacks and fumbling — was that he couldn’t read defenses. That would be a disaster here.

You must have missed the Vikings game in MIN last year. Holcomb’s arm is beyond dead. AT LEAST Culpepper can still throw the football. See my latest CHTV post for more…

Unless they are looking for an equipment manager this is the worst idea of Ted Thompson’s tenure. They need someone who is serviceable and can be a mentor for Rodgers. Rodgers (for better or worse) is the future at QB and the purpose and focus of the backups should be, in this order: 1. help develop Rodgers and 2. execute the offense if Rodgers goes down.

With regard to number 1, there is absolutely nothing in Culpepper’s career that suggests he can or is willing to file this role. And number 2 is a gamble at best. Bring back Nall, or go get Jamie Martin.

[...] Steve at Packer Geeks and Greg Bedard over at JSOnline are amongst the anti-Culpepper crowd. Both make good points and are worth the read, I’ll just touch on the one major variable I think has escaped them both. [...]
