    Don't know if this is the right spot for this, but anything the f'in fins do affects our boys.

    It will be interesting to see Ramsey vs. Harrington later in the season, which is who I predict will be starting the first time we play.

    They have to work out a trade before he's a Dolphin. Matt Millen has to come down on his asking price, which is a 3rd round pick right now.

    HAHAHAH the dolphins just keep getting dumber and dumber, but the positive part is that we may face Harrington the first time we play them because Culpepper may not be back yet, either way we still win!!!!!

    Harrington is going to be a good QB. This is bad for us. I wasn't the least bit worried about Culpepper, but Harrington is going to help the Fins.

    I thought they agreed to a contract, but Harrington wasn't released yet so he couldn't officially sign.

    I think it's a good move for Miami. With rumors flying that Culpepper may not be ready to play next season, or at least part of it, the Dolphins are getting a former first round pick for, probably, a 4th or 5th rounder. It's less a risk than spending a pick on a guy there.

    They'll probably sign him to something where they can option out after a year and if it turns out that he can start to turn his career around a bit, they'll have trade leverage having both he and Culpepper.

    Now, I never thought Harrington was worthy of a top ten pick, he was very overhyped. But if they sign him to the right kind of deal, they really don't have much to lose.

    It's a three year deal but the third year is essentially an option.

    This whole scenario is stupid. First off, Joey Harrington had this whole speech after the sesaon how he was goin to start off fresh and he was goin to be a starter this year. And now he's goin to spend most of the time riding wood because of Culpepper.DUMB MOVE

    I disagree, I think that it's quite a smart move. Culpepper is probably gonna miss the start of next season and who knows when he'll be ready to play or if he can stay on the field after such a severe injury. This is the closest thing that Harrington was gonna get to a starting job and he's going to see the field a bit. Worst case scenario he is a backup on a contending team (beats the hell out of backing up in Detroit.)

    From the Dolphins perspective it's a smart move also. Harrington is far from ideal, but that's why he's the backup and not the starter. If/when Culpepper goes down I would feel a lot more secure with Harrington going into the game than Brock Berlin or Cleo Lemon.

    very sensible and very correct. He's not our saviour, that's D Culpepper when he's healthy again. Harrington is better than our backups and is at least as good as Frerotte was. He's cheap. Win-Win situation.

    Maybe the talk of Daunte coming back later then expected is true and he'll start from Week 1?

    Stat wise Culpepepr is better but w/ Gus they won 9 gas last year while in daunte's "best" year of '04 Minny won 8 gams and I think the most games Harrington has won is 6 so there's no doubt Gus is better than Harrington.

    By the way Joey may be starting:

    "There is a chance that former Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper's rebuilt knee could keep him out the entire regular season with the Miami Dolphins."
    -------------

    Of course there "is a chance". There's been a chance he could miss the 2006 season since the day it was diagnosed. Like that's news or something? weak...

    Not to mention the source of this report??....."Twin Cities"....big surprise there. :rolleyes: SHEESH....

    Everybody knew the day we made thise trade that Culpepper could miss some of the 2006 season. What's changed since then???....NOTHING.

    Of course he's going to say he'll be ready, he wants to be ready. It's really not up to him, all he can do is keep rehabing, and hope his knee is strong enough by the time the season starts. What else is there to this re-re-gurgitated story???....
