Daunte Culpepper as usual hasnt talked much to the media, but he did say he wasnt giving up on the starting job in Detroit.
He lost 20-25 lbs. and showed some of the old quick feet as he dodged defenders to make plays.
He speaks highly of Stafford, saying he will be good in the league for a long time to come.

Why rush Stafford when you have Daunte?

Daunte still has a few years left in this league...hopefully...and in Calvin Johnson he has a the Moss-quality receiver he had with the Vikings...I think he can rebound this year.

As much as I want to see Stafford starting I tend to agree let Culpepper test out the O line. Rookie QBs tend to have a rough time if they are beginning their careers behind a weak O line. Seems to suck the confidence right out of them. And I do think Culpepper can still be effective I don't want to imply I want him to just be a test dummy.

I agree! Start Daunte! Tho everyone might want Stafford to start...I think they should put Daunte in! He would get them farther!

Why do you think Daunte would get them farther?
