A very enjoyable analysis that sparked my memories of the Culpepper era. In particular, I recall one game when Culpepper scrambled and broke loose from the linebackers. A lone defensive back came running forward, and Culpepper literally ran him over, continuing down the field. They had to assist the DB off the field. Culpepper was a scrambling beast who terrorized the secondary.
First of all, what? It's been that long since gladiator won the Oscar? I am so old.
Lots of fantastic behind the scenes info about that season I didn't know. Marino? I had no idea. Fantastic comparison between those seasons and as others have said a fun walk-down memory lane.
“Daunte,” he said, “knew the best thing Daunte could do is just go be Daunte.” One of the key phrases of the article because that attitude right there I think is what McCarthy has in spades.

He was almost unfair in that regard.

Agreed about that quote, Steph. Lots of similarities in the way the two QBs comport themselves.
Also, I agree: We’re old.
Multiple times, this examination had me saying, “This was 25 years ago?” Also, it had me saying, “Gosh, 25 years was so long ago.” Hahaha
Outstanding comparison. Culpepper had talent but I think JJ has more upside potential.
Ha! Yes. Tampa in the Central?
Quite the trip down memory lane. It made zero sense, but I still kind of miss the Bucs being in the division.
Good way of putting it.
