If your best offer was a backup job to Aaron Rodgers (this is true) prior to that time and your last three seasons featured you throwing 13 TD and 20 INT you don’t have anything to offer.

A practice squad or undrafted free agent quarterback is a better pickup because it’s understandable for one to take lumps and stumble while growing up from a raw state. Since 2005, Culpepper’s mistakes were inexcusable and it was not all injury-related. The 2006 season was the only one where one could make the argument, but his performance was still poor. He didn’t even beat the Steelers without Big Ben in Week 1 of that season.

The Packers did something close to my suggestion prior to the 2008 season, select Matt Flynn in Round 7 during that year’s draft. That was a better move because he did not turn the ball over more than he did throw touchdowns. The Lions signed Culpepper and he showed up reportedly at 285-290 lbs and they finished 0-16.

He “thinks” he’s done? Please!
