Because of Randy Moss's presence on the team it allows everyone else the ability to find open space. You see it all the time with a player such as Peerless Price...excellent #2 WR but a complete bust as the #1 WR. Reason: he starts to see the double coverage Eric Moulds had to face. Culpepper had all day to throw since teams weren't exactly stacking the line and Nate Burlesson had a nice easy job with 1-1 coverage. All of a sudden he needs to be the #1 guy...what a disaster. All the WRs move up the depth chart and suddenly Culpepper doesn't have his security blanket. Which by the way it may have been Randy's worst season but it was still an excellent season compared to most WRs in the NFL.

Moss's presence wasn't there in week's 9, 10, 11 when he sat with an injury. Culpepper averaged a 68.4% completion pct., 8.05 yds./att. (season average was 8.6), threw 7/1 TD/INT, and his ratings were 121.3, 117.9, 97.5. Your argument that Moss made him as a QB just isn't holding up. He's a good QB that had a bad year this year. I don't know why you keep trying to pound a square peg into a round hole.

Alright we will see. You think Daunte Culpepper can repeat those numbers and be good...I don't think he is a good decision maker and will never be that good again. We shall see...Culpepper was not the first QB Moss made.

 

This whole thing started because people were making the statement...Vince Young is big (235 lbs) and fast (not as fast as Vick) and he should be drafted #1 by the Houston Texans. His speed and size will run over opposing defenses and "who's gonna sack him?"

 

I just don't like it when people think a rookie QB will walk in and make a wrecked Texans team a lot better, not get sacked, and be successful. Won't happen end of story.

We're not saying it's going to happen over night. It'll take time -- that's the case with ANY player drafted.

 

The guy's big, the guy's fast, the guy's smart, the guy can throw the football damn well, and the guy's regarded as a leader -- that's a player I want on my team.

Matt Leinart...

 

The guy's big, the guy's smart, the guy won almost all of his games in college, the guy is incredibly consistant, the guy thew the ball for over 3000 yards every year he played, the guy can throw the football damn well, and the guy's regarded as a leader -- that's a player I want on my team.

The guy had the best offensive line in football, the guy had the two best RB's in the country in his backfield, and the guys WR's were among the best in the Nation. The guy made s***** decisions down the stretch against both Notre Dame and Texas, but against UND he was bailed out by his own fumble, and a missed penalty call.

Certainly the players around the QB will help. Its the case with all the teams in the NFL. You need a good offensive line, some strong weapons around you and a smart coaching staff...

 

still think Vince Young in Houston with no offensive line, no weapons, and so far no coaching staff can run over the other team with his blazing speed and beast like strength??

 

For me to be convinced you need to do it for more than a season. Matt Leinart with all those resources produced...just as Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, and Tom Brady do.

Culpepper was not the first QB Moss made.
Lightly veiled shot at Pennington is unwarranted. Before his injury Pennington was a damn good QB.
