If old age catches up to Green and Daunte starts performing well, did Miami waste money on bringing in Green? Of coarse that is if they do.

Green is still an above average QB, but Culpepper completely healthy is WAY above average.

Green is slowly regressing. Culpepper is right in his prime.

Unless Miami knows something about his health that no other team does, I really don't understand this move.

Maybe they do. But it still remains to be seen. I think this would be a stupid move for Miami, but I aint no GM or NFL coach either.

I don't believe you need any special talent to evaluate QBs. Just ignore hype, and things like rings, and just look at a guys production over his career. Culpepper can get it done in this league. So can Green. One is only 30 and a better player, assuming he ever plays again.

I am about to contrdict myself for a brief moment. One big difference between Green and Culpepper is that Green has done it without a stellar WR. Culpepper hasn't done it without Moss yet.

Yeah. Culpepper hasn't been healthy enough to throw the football very well...but certainly he would have been a better option for Miami than Harrington--and a better option for Minnesota than Brad Johnson.

Yes, and that brings us full circle as to why is Miami even considering this move in the first place. This is worse than when we brought in Brunell and we already had Ramsey. I still feel that he got shafted, Gibbs's decision or not.

Well if we had kept Ramsey, we probably never would have drafted Campbell, who projects to be double the QB Ramsey would have been.

He certainly got shafted here and elsewhere, but I'm not that concerned about it. We are a better team for it.

Ramsey probably deserves a starting job somewhere though. Just not on a good team.
