Daunte Culpepper/Gus Frerotte Debate

[CrazyZeb]

Out of curiosity, I visited a Vikings message board. I found that they have an entire section devoted to whether Daunte or Gus should be starting. Honestly, I don't follow Minnesota much but are they really unhappy with Daunte? :confused: I wish we could be so lucky.

"The Daunte Culpepper/Gus Frerotte debate is a hot topic, so we’ve created a separate board for those discussions so it doesn’t overwhelm the variety of topics we like flooding our general topic board, Purple Thoughts. Since it seems to be such an emotional debate, please limit your discussion of Culpepper to this board for at least the near future."

The Vikes are an enigmatic bunch with a ton of talent that typically underachieve. I think that is more of a result to the team's coaching rather than any particular aspect of it's personell.

If the Vikes aren't happy with Culpepper, I am sure there are alot of teams that would love to rid them of that "burden".

Didn't Frerotte play a couple games with the Vikings last year and they didn't miss a beat? Maybe that's what sparked this discussion..

Kind of like us debating whether Portis or Betts should start

all Gus did in those 2 games was hand-off and throw deep fly patterns - 2 things he does well.

Last year, I actually would've said Gus, just because Culpepper's mistakes (particularly fumbles - an average of 1 a game) were costing them games. This year, it's no contest. Culpepper has hit his groove. It's not his fault that they have no defense. Tice and Erickson have to be the 2 worst coaches in the league.

[Skins4SB]

Yeah, there sure is a lot of arguing on that board. I know they have collapsed and all but they still made the playoffs. I believe we have a more positive outlook on things than they do.

[Leonard Washington]

the vikings and saints have some of the best offensive talent in the league yet they can't win. it maybe a coaching but the players could be a bunch of losers. players lose/win games not the coaches.

[bwall-2]

Let them start Gus.Just keep him away from the walls.

[Hooper]

Culpepper is a beast. The posters on that board are dumber than Mike Tice.

Shawn Hill all the way!!!!!
