"As I was going through this process I heard about a quote by Gandhi that best expresses my thoughts about this victory: 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win,"' Culpepper, who serves as his own agent, said in an e-mail. "Now that I have won my freedom and I get to choose my next team, I am just like many other people who have to go out and find employment so that I can take care of my family."

They ignore you?

Nobody did ignore you Daunte, everyone expected you to perform like any other player in this league. Now the only ignorance that I see here is you coming in public making these quotes. Many people supported you including myself but since you were bigger than life you thought you could make it past a tough injury then blamed it on the staff.

They Ridicule you?

Who ridiculed you in public? You had to prepare this quote for this press release obviously. A new regime came in and they knew you weren't going to be their guy. This happens to just about everyone but do they make it public and cry?

They fight you?

More like you fought them, you refused to accept trades since its the formal thing to do. Miami gave you a chance and they gambled. I don't think no other team would have given a second round pick for you but we gave you that chance. Thanks for being ungrateful.

"Now that I won my freedom I'm just like anyone else out there that is trying to find Employment"

Good luck with that quote, I don't think I can find someone unemployed this year that made 6 million last year.


I'm glad he is gone regardless, we don't need this locker room cancer anymore. He went out there last year and performed for 4 games and we did our best to get him the best rehab in south florida. We payed to watch him play and our team payed him very well for playing for us.


Bye Daunte

[RonnieBrownTown]

Daunte has no idea what he is talking about he is just jealous of us

[Straztheman]

He'll be lucky if hes a backup QB this year

[Phorever Phins]

Finally its over. Now much cap space do we save by releasing him

[PhiNomina]

Still don't understand why the fans hate Culpepper. His only fault was trying too hard to come back from his injury and play for us. Would you rather he was lazy? The man lied just to get on the field and win games. He LOVED this team and being a Dolphin.

Could someone please explain a reason to completely hate Culpepper? His play was poor (though not as bad as people make it out to be) and he only began to complain when he was not allowed to compete for the starting job. At what point did he do something to deserve such hatred?

He should totally be ashamed of himself...Still whining and crying like a little *****

I hope he find himself again, he's holding on real tight to that dream.

He said he can be a starter in this league. Humble aren't we?

Daunte is still the man...now that i'm retired being dolfan stan I might go see Daunte play if he signs with the Jags.

Most dolfans will be saying the same thing about Trent Green come December.

Trent screwed the Chiefs as well.

It's a big business people.. these NFL players don't care about their respected teams... wake up :confused:

It's all about the $$$$ jack.

Joey Porter left the Steelers for $$$$, and he will leave the Phins as well.
Wes Welker leaves and goes to the Patriots.

Chris Chambers will be gone someday as well.

Big Big Business.. It's not a sport.

Jealous of us? You sure about that? As maligned as he is I'd still rather be him. Millionaire about sign a multi-millionaire contract. And if you think he won't sign another contract look no further then Vinny Testaverde.
