big deal. he is pretty much done

MTK · 08-01-2007, 09:07 AM

Does he realize Moss is in New England?

I guess this will add experience since Jamarcus Russell is a rookie and hasnt signed and that other guy (Walter I think) hasnt really played. Dont expect him to be the new "franchise quarterback"

This is a big pick up for the Raiders since Russell is holding out. Other than that I think the move has little significance.

Another pick up for the Raiders of an old broken down player that has seen his best years pass him bye...... wait I thought that was the skins job

I'm amazed at those that think he's washed up. He's only 30, he's got plenty of good years left as long as his health holds up. He rushed back last year from injury and it showed. If he's back to 100% I think he'll rebound quite nicely.

You know, I was waiting for someone to post the same thing. The guy is still relatively young. He came back too early from that injury.

If anything, he'll be playing for a large contract this year.

Once a mobile quarterback (i.e. Brunell) starts experiencing knee problems, its pretty much over. Culpepper like Brunell likes to roll out of the pocket and throw in stride, Culpepper is not a pocket qb. I'm not trying to bash him, I always liked the guy and think he has gotten a raw deal, I hope he can adapt and flourish with the raiders

I see no reason to think Culpepper is through because he is similar to Brunell in that he can't roll out any more. Culpepper can still throw.

I don't expect him to see the field in the regular season.

He's done.

Warpath · 08-01-2007, 12:44 PM

If he makes it on the field I would expect more of the same... Raiders opponents sacked their QB 72 times last season. NFL.com - Oakland Raiders Team Stats With limited mobility, I don't think he'll be productive. Also he doesn't really have a good receiving core to throw to... (yards/stats 06 season)

Will Buchanon 1/9
Ronald Curry 62/727
Carlos Francis no stats
Doug Gabriel 30/428

he got signed as a message to Russel to get into camp, and as insurance if Russel gets hurt.

chrisl13 · 08-01-2007, 01:49 PM

I wonder how Josh McCown and Andrew Walter are gonna take. i know they are not gonna keep 4 QBs on the roster. i say that Andrew Walter gets cut and Culpeper backs up Russell and McCown gets the 3rd string spot.
