So, where does Culpepper wind up?

Personally, I think that Detroit is far-and-away the best fit for him. He's a dome guy and a downfield passer guy. Sounds very "Mike Martzy" to me. He knows the NFC North and would have just the right group of receivers to revive his career. Jacksonville, where they're saying he might go, I think would be a(nother) Sunshine State DISASTER!!! My second choice for Culpepper would be Minnesota. But, the awkwardness of that makes me like Detroit WAAAY more and, maybe, even makes want to bump up my third choice for him, that being a team NO ONE is talking about,... Denver. Other options being talked about, like Baltimore, despite Billick's being at the helm there, also make me uneasy. What do yous think???

I do like the Denver theory, although with P. Ramsey holding court, I am not sure that will happen. But you never know.

I'm guessing the Raiders will give him a look in camp, but probably cut him. He'll be a late signing for a team that has a QB go down in camp or early season. But I doubt he sees the field much at all this year.
 | I DIGRESS...
I'm deliberately jinxing myself. I own him in the GBRFL2, and if I take this glass half full...glass half empty there is NO FREAKIN GLASS outlook, he'll get signed by Indy when Peyton gets hurt and have a career year.  |

Mind you, he'll be TERRIBLE if he winds up in Atlanta. That said, I think he'll stink just about anywhere he winds up,... definitely Jacksonville. The only place I think he has a prayer is Detroit because personnel-wise, players and coaches, it's the most similar situation to what his was back in Minnesota back in the day.

Yea,... I heard that on ESPN early today. I don't buy it. I just think that Blank has too much invested in Vick and it's just (a little) too early in the going of the indictment to start talkin' a big-name guy like Culpepper, which would really be off-putting to Vick, and could backfire big-time if Vick is able to hit the field this year, at least in terms of his PHAT,... FAT contract. Mind you, I'm not saying that Vick is going to be able to perform well this year. I don't know. But, talking Culpepper right now would only exponentially complicate an already complex situation.

I'm not in the Atlanta area, but what I heard from Ike Reese (former Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons LB and special teams ace) is that Arthur Blank has been accused of coddling Vick a bit during his tenure and the fan base is now looking directly to Blank to see what he's going to do in this situation. I wouldn't be surprised if the Falcons just went with Harrington all season and prepared themselves for a terrible year and a shot at QB Brian Brohm (remember, new coach Bobby Petrino coached him at Louisville) early in the draft next spring.

Call,... I'm sorry in advance that you are going to fall victim to my "picayunity" here,... but my didactic side just can't resist...

My guess is that Culpepper is a Falcon. That's the only way that the Phins get value for Culpeppers' knees. |

You meant conspiracy theorist or, perhaps, cynic, right? A "skeptic" would be the opposite,... no?
Quote:| Culpepper was pushing to be a starter, everyone wanted him as a back-up, he is his own agent (anyone who has himself as a client is a fool - sorry, lawyers) |

You meant thank you, lawyers and sorry, lawyer wanna-bes, right?
...
Whatever the "case" might be, I'm with you, Callie, in thinking that there is a good chance that Culpepper will "follow" Harrington from Miami to Atlanta.

No, Steg. I'm a skeptic - One who instinctively or habitually doubts, questions, or disagrees with assertions or generally accepted conclusions, in spite of assertions proffered. I don't believe that it was without meaning that the two things happened in such close proximity, considering the way the Fhins had been handling things so far.
The words conspiracy and cynic may be a bit much. Cynic - A person who believes all people are motivated by selfishness. I don't think it was that. I think that it could be a deal being kept quiet due to all the fallout that still needs to settle before the Falcons can bring in a replacement. Vick has already been tried in the press more than the league would like. As for conspiracy, that's just silly. 
Edit: Oops, forgot the lawyers. I always understood that quote to make fun of the client representing himself and also the lawyer he is being at that time. So, maybe it isn't clear, but I think you knew that I was basically making fun of Culpepper. If you're keeping score, that one can be yours.

Well,... we're working with different definitions/understandings/usages of the words skeptic and cynic and, perhaps, conspiracy as well. One thing, just real fast, a skeptic in my book is not just skeptical of "generally accepted conclusions", but of everything, skepticism being one's general disposition. That's why "I" don't see it as fitting here. ... Oh, well...
As for the saying about lawyers/people representing themselves,... I think it runs differently. I kind of want to say that I know the saying you are referring to, but I don't think what you wrote is it, and I can't think of how it goes myself, so... Oh, well...

Just playin', Steggie. I got the chance to be in here earlier tonight than I thought I could, and I have to do something while I wait for you CBFLers to wind things up. 
As to the real stuff on the thread, the Jags aren't going to make a deal, no one else is biting very hard. So how about this wording...I say the birds swoop down and pluck that fish out of the water.
(I think the lawyer quote is really something like a man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.)

will just wait for him to get signed by the Jaguars and, then, pride yourselves in "telling me so"... 
Wonderful!

Yes, Tampa Bay. I highly doubt they will sign him but, as was quoted... "There isn't a QB that Gruden doesn't love." I believe they currently have 7 QB's on their roster??
I'm not buying it. Right or worng, I think Harrington will be the man if Vick goes on paid leave of absence.
