Terry Bradshaw, one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history, doesn’t think Dolphins fans should get too excited about the acquisition of Daunte Culpepper.

“I am not sold on him being a top quarterback,” Bradshaw told South Florida radio station 790 The Ticket Thursday morning. “I’m just not. I never was really. I’m just not sold on him being a top player at all. We’ll just have to see.”

Bradshaw, a FOX Sports NFL studio analyst, also expressed serious doubt that he’ll be ready to start the season opener as Culpepper has stated.

“I don’t know when he’s even going to be healthy,” said Bradshaw, who led the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl championships. “He says he’s going to be healthy. He had a pretty serious knee injury. I don’t see him being ready in four months. Every athlete says they’re ahead of schedule. What’s ahead of schedule? He’s better off taking the full year and let it heal up totally then to push it.

“Right now, you get caught in the moment. I don’t see him being ready by the start of the season. If he is, good for him. But I just don’t see it.”

Bradshaw, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1989, believes former teammate Randy Moss deserves much of the credit for his success in Minnesota.

“Here’s what you get with Daunte . . . His best year’s were with Randy Moss,” said Bradshaw. “In the past, he’s had Randy just air it out. He had a horrible year last year (without Moss), forcing balls into coverage. When he felt the pressure was on his shoulders, he didn’t play well.”

Bradshaw also questioned Culpepper’s leadership abilities, citing the infamous boat-party scandal that Culpepper and three teammates were involved in that took place on Minnesota’s Lake Minnetonka in October. The former Central Florida star was charged with three misdemeanors of indecent behavior and lewdness. He recently entered an innocent plea and claimed racial discrimination.

“Plus we have the leadership problems now being on the boat,” said Bradshaw. “Quarterbacking entails maturity level, teamwork, keeping teammates together and having the respect of them. There’s a lot of mending to do here. I’m not saying he can’t and that it won’t happen. Change of venue is very good for him.”

hahahahaahhahahahahahahahahaha! thats great!

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it……………..

We must always remember the source.

Bradshaw was considered one of the least intellegent quarterbacks to ever win a super bowl.

All you need is skilled players to surround the quarterback position and for the quarterback to not make mistakes.

Anybody remember Trent Dilfer?

This coming from a guy who threw more career INT’s than TD’s (its true believe it or not) and played on a team that won off the “Steel Curtain” defense.

Not a Vikes fan, but not a Bradshaw fan either. Bradshaw probably couldn’t spell CAT, even if you spotted him the C and the T.

And on offense the guy had players like Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Rocky Blier and Franco Harris. Bottom line is those Steeler Teams had an extremely talented collection of players, and Bradshaw was far from the most talented.

I have always wanted to make this comment about Daunte. I went to college at Minnesota State – Mankato. This is where the Viking hold their training camp for those who may not know. Anyway, the alleged actions of Daunte on the boat in Minnetonka are very similar to the actions Daunte exhibited during his couple weeks at training camp every summer. I don’t want to give any specifics, but I truly lost his respect years ago.

Good bye Daunte, Glad you are gone!!!

My one word is actually two words, “SEE YA”

Love the comment from Terry he’s right you know.

too bad they didn’t get rid of culpepper and keep moss at the time. moss made him a star! brad and moss together this year, would be record catches/touchdowns. like moss or not, hes worth his bucks!
