witesoxfan Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 The Vikings gave Culpepper a $102 mill contract for 10 years today, for those who don't know. What I'm wondering is what in hell are they thinking? This is a guy that, though he is coming off a 3800 yard passing season, is also coming off a season where he threw more INTs than touchdowns. That would be like giving a baseball player a huge contract extension and giving him a ton of money for going 12-15 with a 3.75 ERA. You just don't do it.

Poppy Hidalgo Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 It's a back loaded contract that only has 16 mil guaranteed,it was done for long term cap management and will result in him getting cut in three years more than likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Only 16 million guarenteed so they can get out of it down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 If only $16 mil is guareteed now the deal makes sense. I was hoping that the Bears would get a shot at this kid. I think if he can get away from the insanity that is Randy Moss he will be a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's under pressure, he'll try to make something out of nothing, like great QBs in the past have done. In those situations, you throw it away. You don't try to do those kinds of things early in games. I bet Daunte's INTs cost the Vikings atleast 2 games this year....maybe 3. In a 16 game season...those could have been huge. Not to mention the catastrophe that was the Vikings-Packers game at Lambeau last year. :fyou refs! The Vikings could have been 8-8 or quite possibly a 10 win team last year. Instead....they were 6-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
