Raiders Pick Up Culpepper

[MTK]

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.
