Tommy Kramer and Daunte Culpepper have quite a few things in common. They both came from schools that aren't exactly known as football powerhouses (Kramer from Rice, Culpepper from Central Florida). They're both in the top 3 in just about every major passing category in Vikings history. They both, ultimately, had records under .500 as starting quarterbacks in Minnesota, largely through no fault of...

Rodgers finds out how tough Bucs can be: Aaron Rodgers found out Sunday what the likes of Donovan McNabb, Daunte Culpepper, Michael Vick and most recently Matt Ryan found out early in their careers: No matter how talented you are, it's tough facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if you've never faced them before. "He's really good. It isn't like he's a rookie in the system," Bucs defensive coordinator Monte...

In his column in today's Star Tribune, Jim Souhan points out that Daunte Culpepper, had he been a bit less stubborn, would be starting for the New England Patriots today, instead of sitting at home retired: The relationship was doomed,...

Brad Childress might not be turning to another starting QB if only he and Daunte Culpepper made nice from the start.

Filed under: Dolphins , AFC East I know Daunte Culpepper was a big believer in self-representation, eschewing the whole agent thing and choosing to deal directly with the front-office types when it came to negotiation contracts and whatnot. Ricky Williams has an agent, but chose not to consult him before hurriedly signing a one-year extension with the Dolphins just before the start of the season....

Filed under: Patriots , AFC East Despite not being in a hurry to bring in a quarterback ... the New England Patriots finally have one . Matt Gutierrez . Alright, alright, it doesn't have the zing of a Tim Rattay, Daunte Culpepper or Joey Harrington ... but it may not need to be. Gutierrez was released by the Patriots in the final round of preseason cuts two weeks ago. He knows the offense, knows what...

It’s not Chris Simms, nor Daunte Culpepper. The Patriots made a move to bolster their quarterback depth by signing Matt Gutierrez to the practice squad. Gutierrez won’t be on the active roster, but he can always be activated if the Patriots see fit. There were rumors yesterday that Gutierrez would be returning, but I didn’t want [...]

With the news that former Pro Bowler Daunte Culpepper retired last week, I couldn’t help but think about how quickly he went from one of the best seasons by a quarterback in NFL history to out of the league in less than 4 years. Then I got to thinking about how Gilbert and Daunte have [...]

A little slow on the uptake here, but I have to pay respects to one of the most freakish freaks of all time: Daunte Culpepper. So often the term, FREEDARKO, gets equated with "style" or "flair" or "absurdity," but a huge component of what it means to be FD is to be full of unrealized potential, and no one walks away from the game with more unrealized potential than Daunte. For all intents and

ProFootballTalk.com (Mike Florio) Are Pats Standing Pat or Picking Daunte Culpepper? The disclosure on Monday that Chris Simms and Tim Rattay were brought to New England and then asked to leave is, to say the least, unusual. And we see only two explanations for it. First, the Patriots abruptly decided to move ahead with unproven Matt Cassel and rookie Kevin O’Connell as the only two quarterbacks ....

Football guru Paul Charchian just said on the Vikings pre-game show on KFAN that Randy Moss is lobbying Patriots brass to bring in his old pal and Vikings teammate Daunte Culpepper to replace Tom Brady who will miss the season after surgery to repair a torn ACL. The first thing I have to ask is: [...]

As expected, the Daunte Culpepper rumors have begun. Pro Football Central reports: Sources have told Pro Football Central ( yes the same source who told us about the Brady news first and that was dead on accurate) that quarterback Daunte Culpepper has not yet filed his retirement papers into the league and that already Patriots WR [...]

After losing QB Tom Brady to a season-ending knee injury, the Patriots have reportedly reached out to retired QB Daunte Culpepper, who was one half of a very successful tandem, in Minnesota, with Pats receiver Randy Moss. Culpepper, who recently turned down a back-up job for the Steelers because he wasn't going to be the starter, has turned down this job offer, too. "I'd like to wait until Tom is healthy...

Daunte Culpepper announced on Wednesday morning that he would be retiring from football at the age of 31. Culpepper announced his decision in an e-mail stating: “After taking a long look at my career and my personal convictions, I have decided to begin early retirement from the NFL effective immediately. Since the beginning of training camp, [...]

Daunte Culpepper retired from the NFL five days ago, saying he was tired of begging for a shot at a quarterbacking job, even as a backup. If the first weekend of the regular season is any indication, some of the same people who wouldn't return Cul...
