49ers To Workout Veteran QB Daunte Culpepper On Monday

Discussion in 'San Francisco 49ers' started by BigBlueBruiser, Aug 14, 2011.

  1. Daunte Culpepper is the latest addition to the San Francisco 49ers' stable of quarterbacks. After a three-hour practice Sunday, San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said the team is bringing in the 34-year-old Culpepper for a tryout on Monday. "We're going to have Daunte in for a workout and kick the tires," Harbaugh said. "I'm looking forward to that." Harbaugh said Saturday that the 49ers have no clear-cut starter at quarterback after veteran Alex Smith and rookie Colin Kaepernick both had shaky performances in San Francisco's 24-3 loss to New Orleans in Friday's preseason opener. Culpepper, the No. 11 pick in the 1999 draft, hasn't played in the NFL since an eight-game stint with Detroit in 2009. During an 11-year NFL career, mostly with the Minnesota Vikings, Culpepper has played in three Pro Bowls. He spent last season with the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League.

    Culpepper would be a good veteran presence. I would rather have him than Derek Anderson, but you know, c'est la vie.

    He's a vet and will be the 3rd QB if they decide to sign him. Also if the line plays like it did he would be good to take the beating.

    I hate that guy, awful. He has nothing left and while playing in Detroit, threw a huge fit he didn't get to play after we drafted Stafford. Have fun with that headcase.

    Well whatever hed be the 3rd emergency qb bring him in. Problem is you could put phillip rivers back there and he wouldnt be able to do crap the oline needs to pick up those blitzes.

    Who are you kidding? He's better than some of the 2nd or 1st stringers out there, especially in San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Oakland, Buffalo, etc.
