That's true. Can't really blame him...if someone picks up the likes of Byron Leftwich, but Culpepper is unemployed, that is not right. I don't blame him for throwing in the towel. He was only 31. His career has shown enough to at least warrant a 2nd or 3rd qb on someones roster.

I don't know. Leftwich is only a couple years removed from looking pretty good. If there is room on a roster somewhere for Jordan Palmer you have to think Leftwich should be playing too. I guess the problem with both Daunte and Byron is that they would come in with aspirations of starting again. Compare that with a beta-qb who is more than happy to hold the clipboard, as opposed to a first round guy lobbying behind the scenes to take over, and you can see which is better for all-important team chemistry.
