I remember when my neighbor got blessed with a Sega Dreamcast for Christmas, and NFL 2K (yes football, not basketball) He always picked played with the Vikes, and I always played with Air McNair and the Titans. Didn’t realize how good we had it back then

[@Sports_Town]

Yep I remember when 2K made football games. Those were the days. Daunte Culpepepper was always really good in 2K as well

[@nathangarn6918]

I remember liking that game more than Madden at the time.

Wow you mean to tell me a game titled NFL 2K wasn't an NBA 2K game?!?! My mind is blown 🎉 ..tard.

[@blufey2925]

For as big and strong as he was he had TINY hands. Thats why he was always among the league leaders in fumbles. But, he threw one of if not the most if not the most beautiful deep balls. And dude had a howitzer for an arm. Don't get it twisted, his bombs were a thing of beauty. Perfect spirals. Zero wobblers or ducks.

That 2004 season would have been an MVP season had Peyton Manning not thrown 49 TDs that same year. It's important to remember that Randy Moss was out for half the year with a hamstring injury.

No fucking shit, I almost clicked out. What a beating.

[@misscuterthanyouable]

He fired is agent and became his own agent. Which was a terrible idea, because he had an inflated ego. Should've stuck it out with the Vikings, lose some weight, trust in the healing process. He would've made more money staying with the Vikes than bouncing around the league.

dude this video was soo cool! this is why i became i vikings fan ~1998 when i first started watching/understanding the game! SKOL FOR LIFE

[@Sports_Town]

Thanks so Much. Culpepper and Randy Moss were so good together and their highlights were fun to watch. Its a shame how it ended.

[@paulstambaugh1947]

Great physical talent....but the "party" on Lake Minnetonka demonstrated a lack of leadership.

[@kendallevans4079]

As a Raider fan, I don't give a 💩 what a player did for any other team, only what they did for the Raiders. Both Cullpepper and Moss didn't do anything other than pick up a paycheck for the silver and black

[@dalegribble1560]

Dude made his mistakes and had a propensity to fumble, but man that Vikes Defense of that era was HORRIBLE. Like Ed Donatell horrible or at least same tier horrible.

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGentile]

Which is funny bc right when he left is when they got Winfield, Williams, Greenway, Allen and the gang lol

[@dalegribble1560]

@@FriendlyNeighborhoodGentile Right that Defense went from bottom 5 to at least average overall. From '07-'09 it was a top Rush Defense and in 2008 it was the BEST run Defense in the league. WILLIAMS WALL!!!

Great video, would love to see more!

[@Sports_Town]

Thanks man. I really appreciate it.

[@longjonsilvernuts]

i'll take a wild guess and say- he retired.

[@jasonfire3434]

Honestly the dude was overrated and was made by Moss. Once the Vikings traded Moss, Culpepper looked like ass that next season before he got hurt.

[@dennis_burgess]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Sports_Town]

I would not say that. He was good, but i think what really hurt Culpepper was all the injuries. By the time he got to Miami, he was very injury prone.

[@dariusdafigga]

It was pretty fun rejuvenating his career on Madden 11

[@armthesharks6904]

Good video! Though Saban is on record saying he wanted Brees despite the medicals. The front office and doctors voted against Nick.

[@Sports_Town]

Thank you. He was good for a short time, but it is sad how it ended. When the Dolphins acquired him they were hoping that he was the same player in Minnesota from the 04 season, but that ended up not being the case.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

There’s an article out there from 2006 where a Vikings coach Brad Childress talked about the end of the Vikings time w/Culpepper. “It just became a deal where I didn’t feel like it was the team, I felt like it was `me,”‘ Childress said about Culpepper, since traded to Miami. “I went through a big `me’ situation last year with a guy who was all about `me.’” Culpepper went from having a $102M contract extension (not much guaranteed) to $35M in career earnings at the end of 2009. It’s one of those “what if” questions where if he could’ve navigated better through some issues he might’ve had a much longer career & earned a lot more money. Comedian Tosh makes fun of Culpepper insulting Saban.

[@fan.of.feet2310]

Simple, he was only good in his rookie year because he had that Vikings squad from 1998-1999. And when they were gone his flaws were laid bare for everyone to see Mystery solved

[@SK-fd8kw]

He was drafted in 1999, not 1989

[@tyronesharp9205]

The human turnover machine. With a depleted receiving corps, he showed what he really is. When he publicly thanked Gamble for tearing up his knee and "getting him outta Minnesota" I wrote him off.

[@MNWILD43]

That injury destroyed his career, but before that he was a beast. SKOL!

[@TanmanC]

Glad you spotlighted Cullpepper, feel like he is still very underrated

[@dwayneball579]

[@c.e.w5833]

I like that you did this video, but tbh the pace of your narrating feels too fast. Take more pauses between statements & let the music/video do its thing too

[@4knanapapa]

Lions fan here, had a friend that lived in st Paul he never liked Culpepper he said he had small hands and had a hard time hanging oh to the ball.

After he had that knee injury he wasn’t the same player.

I agree 💯

[@Gigapittguy]

Speaking of the Vikings, it’s really a shame the 98 Vikings never made the Super Bowl them and the 04 Steelers, headlined by some of the greatest rookie seasons by an offensive player for both, both of them going 15-1, and losing in the conference championships and the champions and those years were repeats

[@JWD1992]

Culpepper over Brees looks brain-dead now, but this video is a reminder of how much higher Culpepper's ceiling appeared to be. He was a big deal in the early 2000s. I love Drew Brees, but if you look at his numbers on the Chargers, I do not think anyone imagined him one day holding the career TD and passing yards records (even if it was for only like a few months). The Chargers' offense was based around LT. Very different from Drew throwing the ball 650 times a year on the Saints. Oh yeah, and he just had his shoulder repaired. Culpepper was a far more physically gifted athlete. However, Drew has an exceptional work ethic, and that enabled him to overcome the injury and grow into an elite passer. He also wouldn't have had Sean Payton in Miami, another key element to his development into an elite passer.

[@ericvesthedt4866]

His 2004 season is still the best passing season by a Viking QB. Franchise record in TD passes and yards, all with a hobbled Randy Moss and a terrible defense. Also went to Lambeau and whooped the Packers in the wild card round. Its a shame he got injured and things soured with the organization

Culpepper was way overrated due to Randy Moss' explosiveness. It wound up working against him as he never looked that good again wherever he went.

It's been literal ages since I left a comment on a video, so please take this with the upmost sincerity. Your content needs work. It's all bread and no butter. While you were adequately able to cover your topic, you weren't able to deliver it in a compelling enough manner to cut through the noise. 1. It's ok to do several takes when recording your dialog. You seem to be a good speaker, but there were too many times when you clearly fumbled at the goal line and just forced the words out. A little bit of rehearsal time can go a long way. Also, learn to pronounce the words in your script before you say them. 2. It should be YOUR script. You need to be able to compete with voice bots reading a ChatGPT prompt. It was obvious that you were reading some of those words for the first time, and plagiarism is boring. 3. Pay attention to detail. Make sure your visuals are accurate and work to enhance your narration. I'm pretty sure you used a picture of Zigi Wilf when talking about a time before he owned the team. 4&5. Brevity is the source of wit. Trim the fat, eliminate the pauses, and for fucks sake, keep your intro under 10 seconds.

The definition of a video game create-a-player. God doesnt make perfect QBs, Daunte was a mistake and was quickly struck down. Elite pocket QBs are not suppose to run like RBs and be built like DE's.
