Daunte will fail in Miami says ESPN/Favre will regret GB

**COJOMAY** · 07-21-2006, 01:34 AM

Jay Whitlock of ESPN gives us his 10 truths about the NFL this year.

Here is #5:

5. Joey Harrington is going to beat out Daunte Culpepper by midseason.

I've never been a Daunte fan. Never. I was irate when the Vikings drafted him just months after Jeff George had a great season. But it's deeper than my allegiance to George.

Daunte is not a student of the game. He doesn't read defenses. He's going to get exposed in Miami because his mobility is gone and he's going to be forced to stand in the pocket and make reads. It won't be pretty.

And here is #9:

9. Brett Favre will regret his decision to return to the Packers by Week 4, when John Madden won't be around on "Monday Night Football" to explain away Favre's terrible performance against the Eagles.

I'm bummed Favre didn't grow a pair this offseason and tell the Packers he wanted to be traded to the Dolphins. Favre, 36, still can play football at a high level. He's just not capable of elevating a weak team to a higher level anymore. He's like Michael Jordan playing with the Wizards.

Favre's spending his last year or two in the league running plays called by the former offensive coordinator of the 49ers -- Mike McCarthy, a product of the Mike Nolan coaching tree, not the Bill Walsh tree -- is just about the dumbest thing imaginable.

I hope Packers fans are happy they're holding Favre hostage in Green Bay rather than allowing him to finish his career with dignity in a winning environment.

Yeah...I wonder if he misspoke there, because Daunte became the STARTER the year after George had a good season. He was drafted the season before though.

I'm probably wrong, but I thought DC was warming the bench when George was starting.

Yeah he was. Daunte was a rookie the year George started 12 games.

Good news there! ^

**BloodyHorns82** · 07-21-2006, 03:35 AM

I won't shed any tears if Daunte fails miserably. I don't wish him the best...but with that said, I could care less how he does. These are pretty bold predictions IMO.

**farvathevikinglover** · 07-21-2006, 03:39 AM

Wow. This dude don't like Pep. Beaten out by Joey, ouch. What was funny was the line "I'm bummed Favre didn't grow a pair this offseason" and that he also sees the, uh, "special" relationship that Favre and Madden share.
